Open method of treatment--laparotomy--was used in 22 children with diffuse purulent peritonitis, aged from 1 to 14 years. This permitted to drain adequately the abdominal cavity after the operation, to abolish the intoxication during 2-3 days in the most observations, to eliminate the enteroparesis. The single repeated abdominal cavity sanation was sufficient in 19 (90.5%) children, in 2 she was applied twice. Laparostoma was closed in 17 (80.9%) patients on the 2-3 th day, in 4--on the 4-7 th day after the operation. One child (4.5%) died.
