Abstract

The term "hostile abdomen" refers to a severe clinical condition characterized by the presence of acute and diffuse inflammation in the abdominal cavity, with life-threatening surgical complications. This clinical entity arises as a result of various etiologies, including severe infections, acute pancreatitis, abdominal trauma, intestinal obstruction, mesenteric ischemia, and postoperative complications. Uncontrolled inflammation in the abdomen leads to a systemic inflammatory response, physiological and biochemical alterations, and compromises the function of multiple organs and systems.
