The problem of determining indications for surgical treatment for peritoneal peritoneal disease is relevant in connection with the lack of reliable criteria that allow us to detect intestinal obstruction at early stages. The authors studied the x-ray picture of chronic peritoneal peritoneal disease in two groups of patients, without obstruction (6 patients) and in the group of patients with obstruction (5 patients). X-ray computer tomography diagnostics was carried out using the Aquilion RXL, Toshiba Japan, VitreaAdvanced software was used to build the virtual model. For the comparative analysis, nonparametric statistics were used to calculate the Pearson criterion, with the Yates correction. The authors proposed the criteria of X-ray tomographic examination, which allow differentiating the adhesive intestinal obstruction from exacerbation of peritoneal adhesion. To these signs, the authors refer, pneumatized loops of the intestine, the presence of fluid in the lumen of the small intestine, the accumulation of fluid more than 200.0 ml, in two or more areas, thickening of the intestinal wall more than 2.1 mm. It was shown that the use of the developed complex of symptoms in the diagnosis of the disease positively affects the results of surgical treatment.
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.
Background: Adhesive intestinal obstruction is a common and potentially lethal complication after surgical interventions in the abdomen. Radiologic imaging is the main diagnostic method. Objective: This study aims to analyse the diagnostic value of spiral computed tomography with a novel method (n = 54). Material and Methods: In this multidirectional cohort study, we present the data with non-parallel (historical) control. This study included the analysis of results of patients with a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction (n = 54) who were admitted to the surgical departments of the City Clinical Hospitals (Ufa city) from 2013 to 2019; the patients’ examination methods included computed tomography with conventional enhancement. The proposed novel enhancement method was implemented by ingesting a mixture containing 50 ml of the contrast Unigexol (300 mg) in 1.0 L cold mineral carbonated water, and Computed tomography (CT) was performed during 40 min after ingesting the contrast meal. Further, the patients with suspected obstruction in the colon were administered a pre-prepared contrast enema with a decoction of leaves of smoke-tree (100 g), chamomile flowers (100 g) and calendula flowers (100 g). Additionally, CT was performed. Results: Obstruction was conservatively stopped in 24 (44.4%) patients of the main group. Remaining 30 (55.6%) patients from the main group were operated with minimal surgical access in the early stages. Conclusion: Owing to early diagnosis of intestinal obstruction and application of the phytocomposition during the examination, exerting various effects such as antispasmodic, analgesic, disinfectant, bactericidal, cicatrising, choleretic, tanning and decongestant, unnecessary surgical interventions were prevented.
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.
