Summary

Malignant tumors perforating the small bowel led to a high postoperative mortality rate (52.6%). Early diagnosis and surgical intervention for small bowel malignancy perforation are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Small bowel malignancy perforation is a rare but serious complication.
  • Retrospective review of 19 patients with malignancy perforation through small bowel tissue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of patients with small bowel malignancy perforation.
  • To identify factors influencing mortality and survival in these patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 19 patients diagnosed with malignancy perforation of the small bowel.
  • Analysis of histopathology, surgical procedures, and postoperative outcomes.
  • Evaluation of survival rates and causes of death.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The study included 19 patients (median age 57 years) with various malignancies, predominantly lymphoma (7 patients).
  • Surgical management included resection with anastomosis (16 patients), wedge resection (2 patients), and loop ileostomy (1 patient).
  • Postoperative mortality was high at 52.6% (10 patients), mainly due to sepsis and organ failure. Seven patients died from primary malignancy within 1.75 years. Two patients with small bowel lymphoma survived with disease at 4.6 and 7 years.

Conclusions:

  • Perforation of the small bowel by malignant tumors is associated with a high postoperative mortality rate.
  • Early detection and prompt surgical treatment are essential for potentially improving outcomes in cases of small bowel malignancy perforation.
