Filter by:A case of a patient with cystic fibrosis with bowel obstruction due to a proximal intestinal obstruction syndrome (PIOS) is presented.This syndrome can be diagnosed with the DIOS definition, with the only distinction of a more proximal location in the gastrointestinal tract, such as the stomach, the duodenum, or the jejunum.
Study of long-term outcomes of colonic stent as a "bridge to surgery" for malignant large-bowel obstruction.
Background: Intestinal resections are commonly performed in the pediatric population. Perfusion of the bowel is one of the most important factors determining the viability of an intestinal anastomosis. Up to date, no ideal method to assess intestinal perfusion has proven its superiority. Objectives: Primary: The aim of this study is to establish the feasibility and impact of the use of indocyanine green technology on intestinal resection margins during elective and emergency pediatric surgeries. Secondary: The secondary outcomes of interest include collection of adverse events and difficulties encountered with the use of the indocyanine green (ICG) technology. Postoperative surgical complications will also be recorded. Study Design: An open observational clinical study will be performed by using a clinical drug (indocyanine green) and medical device (SPY Fluorescence Imaging) to assess intraoperatively intestinal perfusion in a specific pediatric population.
Pathophysiology of perioperative fluid management in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy.
Postoperative management after small bowel obstruction (SBO) surgery is not consensual and better knowledge of risk factors for postoperative morbidity could help to add evidence of the feasibility of enhanced recovery programs (ERPs). In elective surgery, ERPs have shown a significant benefit for the patient but this is not performed routinely in emergency surgery due to the difficulty to avoid postoperative nasogastric tube. The aim was to identify risk factors for postoperative morbidity and for nasogastric tube (NGT) replacement after SBO surgery.
This study investigates the prevalence of previous abdominal surgery in a cohort of patients operated for bowel obstruction and analyzes the causes of obstruction discovered at surgery.
A cohort study of the cost for patients operated for adhesive small bowel obstruction (SBO) during a five-year period
A cohort study of patients operated for adhesive small bowel obstruction (SBO) during a five-year period
Although the pathophysiology of meconium obstruction of prematurity (MOP) is not clear, it is known that the decrease of the intestinal peristalsis due to decreased intestinal perfusion during antenatal or perinatal period. Recently, the level of citrulline has been used as an index of function and injury of the small intestine State. This study aimed to evaluate citrulline level of cord blood as a marker for early detection and observe changes in intestinal blood flow in MOP patient. And We aimed to confirm the efficacy of the AT/ET ratio (ratio of the pulmonary artery time-to-peak velocity interval to the right ventricular ejection time) of the prenatal pulmonary artery as a noninvasive predictor of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.
It is difficult to predict which patients with acute small bowel obstruction require operative intervention and which ones can be handled conservatively. Similarly, strangulation remains difficult decision. The rationale for this observative study is to collect prospective cohort of patients with small bowel obstruction to create scoring system to predict early 1) small bowel obstruction resistant to conservative therapy, 2) strangulation.
