Lavage With Super-Oxidized Solution for Secondary Peritonitis

Secondary peritonitis is a frequent abdominal emergency that is still associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate due to surgical site infections (SSI) and sepsis. Early surgical source control is crucial to avoid sepsis and worse outcomes. The current randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effect of peritoneal lavage with super-oxidized solution (SOS) on SSI and mortality in patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery for secondary peritonitis. The investigators hypothesize that peritoneal lavage with SOS reduces the incidence of SSI and mortality in this patient population.
