[Mortality in emergency abdominal surgery. 304 cases. A plea for better clinical practice].
Survey of 304 cases of surgical, abdominal emergencies (peritonitis and bowel occlusions). We deplored 42 post-operative deaths (14%). When patients are operated within 12 hours after the beginning of the pain, out of a group of 56 patients, two died (4%). ⋯ On the 304 patients, 56 (18%) were operated before the 12th hour, and 18 only, before the 6th hour (6%). the delay in operating, does not increases mortality only, but increase the duration of hospitalisation; this in itself increase expenses and sufferings. The causes of these delays are analyzed. A wiser use of clinical examination would decrease them.
