Maria” Bucharest). The technique was applied based on the therapeutically protocol previously established beginning with 2000. The OPLS technique was analyzed relatively to: timing of surgery, the localization of the infected necrosis or abscesses, growing germs on the cultures, antibiotics received, executed primarily or at reintervention, the number of debridement, hospitalization, morbidity and mortality. The information was statistically processed using SPSS test version 17 for Windows. Results: The OPLS technique improved the control of the local sepsis, in the retrospective/prospective study in 83.7%. Mortality was 16.3% (16/98), with a global mortality of 26.3% (75/285) and a postoperative mortality of 29.5% (66/224). Conclusions: Considering the fact that the intensive care techniques are approximately the same in the last 15 years, we thought that this improvement in the survival rate may be due to the application of OPLS in cases with indication and optimal timing for surgery.展开更多
