Intravenous administration of lidocaine perioperatively after laparotomy for peritonitis could be an interesting alternative by reducing the duration of postoperative ileus, the intensity of pain and the patient's hospital stay, as well as the cost of management in our context of lack of financial, technical and human resources, hence the present study.
