Peritonitis and Intraabdominal Abscesses

1991
Abdominal surgical wound infections cause significant morbidity and expenses and double the length of postoperative hospital stays. The role of antimicrobial therapy in the outcome of infection of the abdominal cavity is difficult to assess. This is primarily because of the often dramatic response to surgical drainage when there is localized infection.

Experimental aspects of intraabdominal abscess

The American Journal of Medicine, 1984
Two animal models were used to examine the bacteriologic aspects and antibiotic treatment of intraabdominal abscess. The first model was designed to simulate the septic complications of colonic perforation using an inoculum of stool implanted intraperitoneally in rats.

Intraabdominal Abscesses in Pseudomyxoma Peritonei

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1983
Two cases of pseudomyxoma peritonei with intraabdominal abscess formation are presented. In both cases the presence and the extent of abscess were diagnosed by computed tomography (CT). In addition, in each case the source of the abscess was also suggested by CT.

Intraabdominal Abscess after Acupuncture

New England Journal of Medicine, 2004
A 64-year-old Korean woman had a four-week history of dull pain in the lower abdomen that was worse on movement; she had no gastrointestinal or urogenital symptoms. The previous year, the patient had regularly undergone abdominal acupuncture with the use of gold-tipped needles to treat dyspeptic epigastric pain.

Intraabdominal abscesses following laparoscopic and open appendectomies

Surgical Endoscopy, 1996
The purpose of this review was to evaluate the incidence of postoperative intraabdominal abscess formation following laparoscopic and open appendectomies.The current study retrospectively examines appendectomies performed during the period from January 1993 to July 1994.

Intraabdominal abscess after penetrating abdominal trauma

The American Journal of Surgery, 1981
In 57 (2.4 percent) of 2,416 patients undergoing laparotomy for penetrating abdominal trauma from 1977 to 1980, an intraabdominal abscess developed in the postoperative period. Preoperative antibiotic administration, careful closure of gastrointestinal tract perforation with diversion as necessary, and copious irrigation of the peritoneal cavity at the

Intraabdominal abscess rate after laparoscopic appendectomy

The American Journal of Surgery, 2000
Studies suggest increased intraabdominal abscess (IA) rates following laparoscopic appendectomy (LA), especially for perforated appendicitis. Consequently, an open approach has been advocated. The aim of our study is to compare IA rates following LA performed by a laparoscopic surgery and a general surgical service within the same institution.Data of ...

Intraabdominal Mass and/or Abscess

1999
The majority of patients suffering from Crohn’s disease undergo surgery for complications of their disease. Failure of medical management to resolve a persisting abdominal mass is a common indication for surgery (1). More than 25% of all patients undergoing surgery for Crohn’s disease will have either an intraabdominal mass or abscess (2). An abdominal

Computed tomography in the diagnosis and localization of intraabdominal abscesses

The American Journal of Surgery, 1980
Computed tomographic scanning of the abdomen in 50 patients evaluated for suspected intraabdominal abscess resulted in an overall accuracy of 92 percent. It proved the most accurate diagnostic tool in determining the presence of intraabdominal abscess. Computed tomography of the abdomen is a useful diagnostic adjunct to clinical judgment and may assist

Peritonitis and Intraabdominal Abscesses

1998
Abstract Bacterial peritonitis and intraabdominal abscess are most conveniently discussed together, since one is frequently the cause of the other. They share a similar microbiological etiology, usually derived from the gastrointestinal tract, they are treated with the same selection of antibiotics, and they both usually have underlying ...
