Despite recent advances in diagnosis, antimicrobial therapy, and intensive care support, operative treatment remains the foundation of the management of patients with severe secondary peritonitis (SSP). This management is based on three fundamental principles: (1) Elimination of the source of infection; (2) reduction of bacterial contamination of the peritoneal cavity; and (3) prevention of persistent or recurrent intra-abdominal infection. Although recent studies have emphasized the role of open management of the abdomen and planned re-laparotomies to fulfill these principles, controversy surrounds the optimal approach because no randomized studies exist.
