Partition of abdominal infection: exploration and innovation of the abdominal partition under intra-abdominal infection / 中华消化外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Source control is the core of intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) treatment, in which precise positioning and effective drainage is the key and aporia. On the basis of membrane anatomy theory and understanding of anatomic structural abnormality under IAIs, the authors propose the concept of 'abdominal partition under IAIs’ in order to locate the source of infection and design of safe drainage path precisely, which could improve the diagnosis and treatment of IAIs and the prognosis.
