Optimization of diagnosis and treatment of acute enteral insufficiency in peritonitis. Literature review

Acute enteral insufficiency in children is a serious clinical condition that requires in-depth study in the context of modern medical research. The urgency of the problem is due to the high frequency of this condition, as well as its significant impact on the quality of life of patients and the prognosis of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Research in this area contributes to the development of effective methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention, which is crucial for improving outcomes in children with acute enteral insufficiency.

Goal. To systematize existing research and identify the main trends, achievements and gaps in current knowledge about intestinal insufficiency in children. To analyze the literature sources covering the problem of intestinal insufficiency in children to a depth of about twenty years to identify available data on optimizing algorithms for the diagnosis and treatment of this pathological condition in children.

Materials and Methods. A comprehensive search was conducted to select relevant literature sources, including specialized databases such as PubMed and Scopus, various medical journals, and other resources. The search criteria included publications published between 2005 and 2024 written in English and Russian, focusing on key aspects of adult intestinal insufficiency. Peer-reviewed scientific articles, dissertations, monographs, and review articles were considered for inclusion.

Results. Modern medicine has achieved significant success in studying intestinal insufficiency. However, the key aspects of its pathogenesis in children remain incomplete, making it difficult to ensure 100 % effectiveness of applied therapeutic methods.

Conclusion: Although surgery in Russia has great opportunities, diagnosis of intestinal insuffiency remains a difficult and time-consuming task for pediatric surgeons. It is important to continue researching this area in order to better understand the causes and develop more effective treatments.
