The Role of Regional Lymphatic Antibiotic Therapy in Acute Abdominal Diseases in Children

Abstract

Timely diagnosis and treatment of acute surgical diseases of the abdominal organs in children remain a relevant problem in pediatric surgery. The targeted use of modern diagnostic technologies (ultrasound and laparoscopy) makes it possible to avoid most diagnostic errors.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of regional lymphatic antibiotic therapy in children with abdominal organ pathology complicated by peritonitis (destructive appendicitis, peritonitis, and intestinal obstruction). Children under 18 years of age with suppurative processes of the abdominal organs in the postoperative period who were examined and treated over the past 10 years in the pediatric surgery department of the Samarkand Regional Multidisciplinary Childrens Medical Center were included in the study. The studies conducted in children with suppurative diseases of the abdominal organs (main and control groups) demonstrated high effectiveness of regional lymphatic antibiotic therapy, which was manifested by stabilization of the patients clinical condition, earlier normalization of clinical and laboratory parameters, and a significant reduction in the rate of postoperative complications.
