[Apoptosis of neutrophils in the patients with the high risk of peritonitis occurrence after operation for acute diseases of the abdominal organs].

The processes of apoptosis of neutrophils of peripheral blood were studied in 43 patients, who were operated on for an acute abdominal diseases on the first and fourth postoperative day. Dynamic changes of apoptotic processes in neutrophils were established postoperatively. Unfavorable course of early postoperative period in the patients owing primarily high and middle risk of postoperative peritonitis occurrence have coincided with inhibition of the apoptosis processes in neutrophils.
