The autors present 41 cases of acute abdomen occuring after medico-surgical procedures, diagnostic explorations, or conservative treatments. The clinicat pictures of these patients were suggestive of acute abdomen of the peritonitis or hemorrhagic type. The severity of the cases was more frequently determined by the basic disease, for which the exploration was performed, by the retarded intervention and the septic fluid that flooded the peritoneal cavity. Without attempting to minimize the value of explorative or therapeutic procedures, that may sometimes determine acute abdominal syndromes, the authors stress the necessity to make a careful selection of the cases that will undergo these procedures, as well as the capability and the experience of those that will carry them out.
