The incidence of intra-abdominal infection increases annually. The current management of intra-abdominal infection includes immediate resuscitation, prompt source control and appropriate usage of antibiotics. For patients with septic shock, fluid resuscitation should begin immediately when hypotension is present. Fluid resuscitation should be combined with vasoactive drugs. Damage control surgery promotes the development of ultrasound or CT guided percutaneous abscess drainage and open abdomen therapy. Rational use of anti-infective drugs could prevent prevalence of multiple antibiotics resistant bacteria and pan-resistant bacteria. The gut rehabilitation measures can improve the recovery of gut function and restore of enteral nutrition, and thus prevents bacterial translocation in intra-abdominal infection patients. Monitoring and modulations of immune function may further improve the successful rate of treatment of intra-abdominal infections. Non-thyroidal illness syndrome may develop in the severe intra-abdominal infection patients and should be promptly corrected.

Surgical site infection(SSI) is one of post-operative complications in gastrointestinal surgery. SSI may increase the morbidity and mortality of surgical patients and increase their hospital stay and expense. The risk factors can come from patients, physicians and hospital environments. Improving patients nutritional status and organ function, appropriate control of blood sugar level and abstinence from smoking can reduce the occurrence of SSI. Compare to current practice in China, the following recommendations have been identified as priorities for implementation: hair removal done immediately before operation; maintenance of normothermia intraoperatively; the abdominal wall should be closed with an absorbable suture and drains should be removed as early as possible. SSI could be diagnosed by symptoms, local signs and lab examinations and confirmed by physician. Source control is the key point in the management of SSI. Ultrasound and CT guided percutaneous abscess drainage is effective in the localized deep space surgical site infection and critically ill patients. Antibiotics should be used following clinical assessment and evidence based on local formulary.
