Purpose: Postoperative peritonitis is a peritoneal infection that complicates an intraperitoneal surgical procedure within one month. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency, describe the clinical and therapeutic aspects of postoperative peritonitis. Patients and methods: This was a prospective study of descriptive type, lasting two years (January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021) carried out in the general surgery department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital of Conakry. It included all patients received and operated on in the department for postoperative peritonitis, regardless of the origin of the initial operation. Results: We collected 32 cases of postoperative peritonitis with an average age of our patients of 33.75 years. Fifty-seven point fourteen percent of our patients were diabetic. Appendectomy was the most performed initial procedure with a rate of 40.62% followed by acute intestinal obstruction (18.75%). Clinical signs were dominated by abdominal pain (100%), abdominal contracture (100%), fever (100%) and painful douglas (84.38%). The average time to management of our patients was 12.53 days. The management was medico-surgical and we performed median laparotomy above and below the umbilical in all our patients. The etiologies were dominated by anastomotic leakage (56.25%), subphrenic abcess (25%), digestive fistulas (18.75%). The surgical gesture consist temporary stoma (n=11) followed by a refection of anastomosis (n=7) and intestinal resection/anastomosis (n=4). Peritoneal washing and drainage were performed in all cases. The average duration of hospitalization was 18 days. We recorded 9 cases of death (28.13%). Conclusion: Post-operative peritonitis is a condition with a high mortality rate. Management must be multidisciplinary to improve the prognosis.
