The increased incidence of intraabdominal infections in laparoscopic procedures: potential causes, postoperative management, and prospective innovations

Authors: A. K. Strickland, R. G. Martindale

Published in: Surgical Endoscopy | Issue 7/2005

Abstract

We conducted a review of the literature to identify some potential causes for the increased incidence of intraabdominal infections seen after laparoscopic procedures. We also discuss the postoperative management of this condition and provide a prospective overview of innovations that may be helpful in such cases in the future.
