RODRIGUEZ RAMIREZ, Rafael et al. Relaparotomía de urgencia por peritonitis secundaria. Rev Cubana cir [online]. 1999, vol.38, n.2, pp. 79-83. ISSN 1561-2945.

94 urgent relaparotomies were performed among 68 patients with secondary peritonitis from 1993 to 1996. The clinical, humoral and imaging criteria were decesive to carry out this procedure. Diffuse peritonitis proved to be the most frequent surgical finding causing multiple dysfunction of organs and systems. The modalities of surgical treatment are exposed, with the urgent abdominal reopening as denominator, and they are related to the discharge status. An elevated specific lethality was observed when the open method was used. There was also a high mortality in general
