“…This author has directly observed how surgeons will suture tissues together in a manner demanding fixed relationships of tissues which might otherwise prolapse or spread apart. Thus sometimes tissues are adherent because it is demanded of them to be so (Wong and King, 2004).…”

“…According to the different principles of bowel sequence and fixation, intestinal plication could be categorized into two major types, i.e., the internal plication and the external plication. Internal intestinal plication was also named intestinal tube splinting, intestinal stenting or sutureless plication [ 2 , 3 ]. Its fundamental principle is to place a sustaining and guiding tube into the intestinal lumen.…”

Background Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is common and usually requires surgical intervention. Intestinal plication is a traditional but critical strategy for SBO in certain scenarios. This study is to compare the short-term and long-term outcome between internal and external plications in the management of SBO. Methods All patients receiving intestinal plication in our hospital were retrospectively collected. Short-term outcome including postoperative complications, reoperation, postoperative ICU stay, starting day of liquid diet and postoperative hospitalization, as well as long-term outcome including recurrence of obstruction, readmission, reoperation and death were compared between groups. Gut function at annual follow-up visits was evaluated as well. Results Nine internal and 11 external candidates were recruited into each group. The major causes of plication were adhesive obstruction, abdominal cocoon, volvulus and intussusception. Lower incidence of postoperative complication (p = 0.043) and shorter postoperative hospitalization (p = 0.049) was observed in internal group. One patient receiving external plication died from anastomosis leakage. During the 5-year follow-up period, the readmission rate was low in both groups (22.2 % vs. 9.1 %), and none of patients required reoperation or deceased. None of patients exhibited gut dysfunction, and all patients restored normal gut function after 4 years. Patients in external group demonstrated accelerated recovery of gut function after surgery. Conclusions This study compares short-term and long-term outcome of patients receiving internal or external intestinal plication. We suggest a conservative attitude toward external plication strategy. Surgical indication for intestinal plication is critical and awaits future investigations.
