The clinical and experimental study of postoperative complications of suppurative peritonitis (the pathologic commissure formation) has been done. The authors believe that the combination of the break of cytodynamic correlation in peritonitis centre and GIT paresis is a basis of pathogenesis of the process. The authors advocate combination of anticomissural preventive stern with cytomodulation and GIT paresis treatment. The abdominal ultrasonography has been used for the diagnosis. The main role in surgical treatment belongs to laparoscopy that made it possible to decrease the amount of relaparotomy cases. There were no lethal complications or cases of recurrency.

A case review of a 15-year old girl, admitted to hospital for acute peritonitis with x-ray signs of GIT perforation. During the surgical procedure, the finding of a massive trichobezoar with gastric perforation and diffuse peritonitis was a surprise. The literature describes this finding as a rare Rapunzel syndrome.

Nowadays tuberculosis--TB is most popular chronic infections disease in the world. The mortality is high, 3 million approximately death every year in the world. TB affects predominantly the lungs (pulmonary--90%) and exra-pulmonary) skin; bones; joints; urinary tract-UT; gastro intestinal tract-GIT; abdominal TB. There is an increase in diagnosed cases of pulmonary TB last years in Bulgaria. There are very rare cases of diagnosed abdominal TB described. We present a case operated from us in Multi Pro File Hospital Cherven Bryag. A 54 years old male patient with peritonitis due to perforated intestinal TB and upper intestinal fistulas. The patient was not aware of suffering from pulmonary TB in the past.

Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the GIT with a low incidence of 2% and the complication rate is even lower with perforation being the rarest. We report an intriguing case of a 15-year-old male, who presented with one-week history of high-grade fever and diarrhoea followed by acute onset of abdominal pain in the periumbilical region which became generalized. On physical examination his abdomen was distended with guarding and rigidity. A provisional diagnosis of peritonitis secondary to enteric perforation was made and exploratory laparotomy was done which revealed a perforated Meckel's diverticulum and advanced peritonitis. A diverticulectomy with double barrel ileostomy were performed. No heterotopic tissue in the diverticulum was noted on histopathology, nor any other abnormal tissue identified. The patient made an uneventful recovery postoperatively and ileostomy reconstruction was done two months later. This case report is rare case of Meckel's diverticulum complications and highlights the importance of considering Meckel's diverticulum as a differential diagnosis in every patient presenting with acute abdomen, which can aid toward better management through laparoscopy.
