Experience gained with the treatment of children undergoing laparostomies, necessitating numerous anesthesias and operative revisions in the early post-operative period, is shared. The open abdominal cavity is the cause of additional loss of liquids, requiring in turn adequate compensation with electrolyte solutions. Early administration of parenteral feeding contributes to prompt postoperative recovery. The active complex management, including antibacterial and immunostimulating therapy, as well as application of hyperbaric oxygenation in the event of severe infection, lead to a favourable outcome.
