Il sondaggio peritoneale nella diagnostica dell’addome acuto : 15 anni di esperienza

Peritoneal lavage is a quick, simple and efficient measure. It is a most important examination that comes directly after resuscitation, clinicl and radiological examination. It is indicated in cases of abdominal trauma, multiple injuries and acute abdominal syndrome. by the correct evaluation of its results, early surgical intervention is granted and a final diagnosis can be established, thus preventing frequently unnecessary or delayed laparotomy. peritoneal lavage therefore represents the most highly recommended procedure in cases of acute abdomen.
