[The place of lavage-irrigation of the peritonium in peritonitis from the appendix in children. A report of 10 cases (author's transl)]. / Place du lavage-irrigation du péritoine dans les péritonites d'origine appendiculaire de l'enfant. A propos de 10 cas.

Confronted with the difficult problems presented in acute appendicular peritonitis, whether generalized or multiple focused, the authors used the "lavage irrigation" method in ten cases. They analysed the local and general conditions that led them to employ this method, in light of the evolution of this technic which they had observed in their experiences whit it. They have attempted to elucidate, using information previously available in the literature, the indications, the steps, and the eventual complications of the "lavage irrigation" of the peritonemum in the child.
