They are the first cause of small bowel obstruction. Diagnosis is based on clinical evaluation, water-soluble contrast followthrough and computed tomography scan. For patients presenting no signs of strangulation, peritonitis or severe intestinal impairment there is good evidence to support non-operative management. Open surgery is the preferred method for the surgical treatment of adhesive small bowel obstruction, in case of suspected strangulation or after failed conservative management, but laparoscopy is gaining widespread acceptance especially in selected group of patients. "Good" surgical technique and anti-adhesive barriers are the main current concepts of adhesion prevention. We discuss current knowledge in modern diagnosis and evolving strategies for management and prevention that are leading to stratified care for patients.展开更多

Mechanical barriers and chemical agents exist to disrupt the formation of adhesions following surgery but each associated with medical risk and financial burden. Identifying risk factors for developing SBO in patients post laparotomy would aid in the appropriate use of such agents. We hypothesize that there might be additional risk factors that are associated with a higher likelihood of SBO. Methods: A retrospective analysis from 2008 to 2012 was performed. Cases of SBO following previous laparotomy were compared to those without SBO. Results: 468 medical records were reviewed (57% male). Operations that caused the highest risks for SBO included gynecological, colorectal and hernia operations with prosthetic materials. 66% percent of patients underwent a prior abdominal or pelvic high-risk procedure. The average time from surgery to the development of SBO was 24 months (median 19 months). Patients who developed SBO had a median age of 58.4 years on initial surgery, average previous operative time of 4.3 hours, and an av-erage of two prior operations. For every hour of operative time, the odds of developing SBO increased by 33% (p 3 decreased the odds of SBO (p = 0.05). Conclusions: Longer operative times are associated with post-operative adhesive small bowel obstruction. Patients with an ASA score greater than or equal to 3 appear to have a reduced risk of adhesive small bowel obstruction.展开更多

Although MD is the most commonly diagnosed congenital gastrointestinal anom-aly, it is estimated to affect only 2% of the population worldwide. Most cases are asymptomatic, and diagno-sis is often made following investigation of unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, inflammation or obstruction that prompt clinic presentation. While MD range in size from 1-10 cm, cases of giant MD(≥ 5 cm) are relatively rare and associated with more severe forms of the complications, especially for obstruction. Herein, we report a case of giant MD with secondary small bowel obstruction in an adult male that was suc-cessfully managed by surgical resection and anasto-mosis created with endoscopic stapler device(80 mm, endo-GIA stapler). Patient was discharged on post-operative day 6 without any complications. Histopatho-logic examination indicated Meckel's diverticulitis with-out gastric or pancreatic metaplasia.展开更多

文摘Background:Conservative therapy for Crohn’s disease(CD)-related acute bowel obstruction is essential to avoid emergent surgery.The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of using a long intestinal decompression tube(LT)in treatment of CD with acute intestinal obstruction.Methods:This is a prospective observational study.Comparative analysis was performed in CD patients treated with LT(the LT group)and nasogastric tube(the GT group).The primary outcome was the avoidance of emergent surgery.Additionally,predictive factors for failure of decompression and subsequent surgery were investigated.Results:There were 27 and 42 CD patients treated with LT and GT,respectively,in emergent situations.Twelve(44.4%)patients using LT were managed conservatively without laparotomy,while only nine(21.4%)patients in the GT group were spared from emergent surgery(P<0.05).Both in surgery-free and in surgery patients,the time to alleviation of symptoms was significantly shorter in the LT groups than in the GT groups(both P<0.01).C-reactive protein decrease after intubation and 48-hour drainage volume>500mL were predictors of unavoidable surgery(both P<0.05).The rate of temporary stoma and incidence of incision infection in the LT surgery group were significantly lower than those in the GT group(both P<0.05).No significant differences were observed in the frequency of medical and surgical recurrences between the LT and GT groups(all P>0.05).Conclusions:Endoscopic placement of LT could improve the emergent status in CD patients with acute bowel obstruction.The drainage output and changes in C-reactive protein after intubation could serve as practical predictive indices for subsequent surgery.Compared to traditional GT decompression,LT decompression was associated with fewer short-term complications and did not appear to affect long-term recurrence.
