Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intra-abdominal infection (IAI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and a common origin of sepsis and septic shock. IAIs result from the inflammatory process originating from infection or perforation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, such as appendicitis, cholecystitis, diverticulitis, peptic ulcer disease, and obstruction of the GI tract or mesenteric vasculature, such as malignant obstruction or mesenteric infarction.
Reducing morbidity or mortality, early diagnosis, and treatment including preoperative care and surgical intervention is mandatory.
This Special Issue is devoted to articles that review diagnostic, therapeutic strategies in IAIs, including clinical and basic research.
