A number of such patients was 504 (37,4%) of 1347 patients who undergone treatment of general peritonitis in the city clinical hospital of emergency medical care of Krasnodar from 2005 to 2014. Results. On the basis of experience in the treatment of 504 patients with general purulent peritonitis of various etiologies the use of programmed repeated sanitation of the abdominal cavity is justified. All patients were divided into two groups – the control group in which relaparotomy "on demand" was performed and the main group in which patients undergone programmed relaparotomy. In the control group which consisted of 189 patients 61 patient (31.7%) died, in the main group which included 315 patients 25 patients (7.9 %) died (p<0.01). Conclusion.
