Abstract

Acute surgical diseases of the abdominal cavity represent a major cause of emergency hospital admissions and in-hospital mortality. Despite the widespread implementation of modern surgical technologies, mortality rates remain high for certain forms of acute abdominal pathology. The aim of this study was to conduct an analytical assessment of mortality associated with acute surgical diseases of the abdominal cavity in the Republic of Uzbekistan, based on regional data and in comparison with international epidemiological trends.

Materials and methods included an analysis of publications by Uzbek authors, international systematic reviews, and data from the World Health Organization and the Global Burden of Disease project. The conditions analyzed were acute appendicitis, acute cholecystitis, acute pancreatitis, intestinal obstruction, and perforated gastroduodenal ulcer.

The results demonstrated that intestinal obstruction, severe acute pancreatitis, and perforated peptic ulcer were the leading causes of mortality, whereas acute appendicitis and acute cholecystitis were more frequently encountered but were associated with lower mortality rates
