Abstract
Improved surgical techniques, the use of modern antibiotics and better understanding of the microbiologic characteristics of abdominal sepsis led to a satisfying clinical outcome in instances of abdominal trauma. Development of several newer antibiotics may improve the rate of complications. A study of host defense mechanisms may provide additional clues to prevent long term morbidity. Penicillin, chloramphenicol and tetracycline merit additional evaluation under controlled, prospective, randomized, comparative clinical trials.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
