The use of physical factors in the postoperative period with destructive appendicitis in children: the current state of the problem

Abstract

Acute appendicitis is the most common childhood surgical disease. With the use of laparoscopic appendectomy for destructive appendicitis in children, the number of postoperative complications significantly decreased. However, in recent years there has been no tendency towards their further decline. The use of non-drug exposure, which has both local and systemic anti-inflammatory effects, can lead to further improvement in the treatment results of the most severe forms of the disease. As a result of a literature review, it was found that there is very little information about the use of physical factors in the postoperative period with destructive appendicitis in children. The effectiveness of the physical factors of systemic exposure (intravenous laser irradiation of blood, the use of ozone) was noted, but currently there are no recommendations on the application of local exposure physiotherapy techniques. Thus, the study of the effectiveness of the use of physical factors in the postoperative period with destructive appendicitis in children at the present stage remains relevant.
