Results: Our study involved 147 patients out of 581 admissions, i.e a frequency of 25.30%. the average age of the patients was 16.27 years with extremes of 2 and 70 years, the male gender predominated with 64.63% (n=95) and a sex ratio of 1.83. The main preoperative diagnosis was acute peritonitis in 78.91% f cases (n=120) and peritonitis by ileal perforation was the first etiology with 63.94% (n=94). The majority of our patients had moderate preoperative anemia in 73.47% (n=108) and severe anemia in 21.09% (n=31) of cases. The management of anemia was based on blood transfusion which was performed in 10.20% of cases (n=15) preoperatively and 32.65% of cases (n=48) intraoperatively. In the postoperative period, the treatment of anemia was essentially based on oral iron supplementation. Intra operative incidents and accidents were significantly associated with the severity of anemia preoperatively. Parietal suppuration was the main postoperative complication, ie 70.6% ..
