Adhesive intestinal obstruction is one of the most common and potentially fatal complications after abdominal surgery. Among gynecological operations, leading to the development of adhesive intestinal obstruction, abdominal hysterectomy is the most common cause of emergency intervention. At the same time, in the recent past, mortality was observed from 40% to 60%. Currently ,due to the development of endovideosurgery, it was possible to reduce the postoperative mortality rate however, the mortality rate remains between 10% and 20% in all patients with adhesive small bowel obstruction. The cornerstone in the improvement of treatment results is the timely diagnosis of this complication. We have developed criteria for early computer tomographic diagnosis of adhesive intestinal obstruction in patients after gynecological surgery (patent No. 2669729). These include: free fluid in the lumen of the small intestine more than 200.0 ml, in two or more areas, pneumatized intestinal loops, expansion of the intestinal wall by 2.1 mm or more. The study was conducted in two groups of patients with adhesive peritoneal disease with intestinal obstruction, which included computed tomography (104 patients) and examined according to the traditional method (60 people). The validity of the diagnostic computer tomographic criteria of the study leaves no doubt about the need for their use in the preoperative prediction of access and the volume of surgery.
The most important problem determining the indications for surgical treatment of peritoneal adhesion is associated with the uncertainty of the criteria for early diagnosis of intestinal obstruction. Of all the most common acute surgical diseases of the abdominal cavity, acute intestinal obstruction gives the highest lethality. The main reason for this is untimely diagnosis. In two groups of patients, we performed a study of chronic peritoneal peritoneal disease using X-ray computed tomography (RCT), with obstruction (58 patients) and absence of this pathology (56 patients). Analyzing nonparametric statistics with the calculation of the Pearson criterion, with the Yates correction. We presented the criteria for the RCT study, differential diagnosis of adhesive intestinal obstruction from exacerbation of peritoneal adhesion. The main indicators of this disease: the fluid content in the lumen of the small intestine is more than 200.0 ml, in two or more regions, the inflated intestinal loops, an extension of 2.1 mm and more of the intestinal wall. The validity of the diagnostic criteria for RCT research leaves no doubt about the need for their use in preoperative access prognosis and the scope of surgical intervention.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
