Standard methods of treatment were analyzed in 228 patients with general peritonitis of different etiology: sanitation and drainage of abdominal cavity, peritoneal lavage, programmed laparotomy compared with laparoscopic sanitation (LS) performed in 60 patients. A significant decrease in the number of purulent-inflammatory complications, intestinal fistulas and broncho-pulmonary complications were seen after LS. It was most effective for treatment of peritonitis with Mannheim peritoneal index from 16 to 29 points (lethality 11.8%) compared with conventional treatment (p < 0.05). Indications and contraindications for LS, original device "BRUSAN" were developed. Abdominal LS is a highly effective and mini-invasive method of local treatment in general peritonitis.
