Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Emergency
  • Abdominal Surgery

Context:

  • Acute adhesive small intestine obstruction presents a significant risk of intestinal ischemia.
  • Delayed diagnosis and treatment of ischemic obstruction escalate morbidity and mortality rates.

Purpose:

  • To identify criteria for distinguishing patients with intestinal obstruction and regional ischemia due to fibroadhesive peritonitis who require emergency surgery.
  • To analyze patient demographics, causes, and outcomes associated with this condition.

Summary:

  • A review of 63 patients with intestinal obstruction and regional ischemia due to fibroadhesive peritonitis was conducted.
  • Appendicitis was the leading cause (41.2%), with complications often occurring after 3 years of age and frequently as a secondary procedure (87%).

  • High rates of gangrene (100%) and enterostomy construction (100%) were observed, with a general morbidity rate of 80% and four pediatric deaths.

    • Impact:

    • Establishes the critical need for identifying patients requiring non-conservative management in cases of acute adhesive small intestine obstruction.
    • Highlights the severe outcomes, including high morbidity and mortality, associated with delayed intervention for ischemic intestinal obstruction.
