Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

870
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Esophageal Strictures-II: Clinical Features and Management

958
Patients with esophageal strictures often experience a range of symptoms. Initially, they may have difficulty swallowing solid foods, which can progress to include liquids. Additional symptoms may involve chest pain or discomfort, regurgitating food and fluids, heartburn, unintentional weight loss, coughing or choking during meals, and hoarseness.
Healthcare providers should gather a comprehensive medical history and conduct a physical examination for diagnosis. If esophageal stricture is...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Acute small bowel obstruction is a surgical emergency in infants and children.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging in young children, especially without a clear history.
  • Foreign body ingestion is a common cause of gastrointestinal issues in this age group.

Observation:

  • A 17-month-old girl presented with acute small bowel obstruction.
  • Computerized tomography (CT) showed proximal jejunal obstruction with distal dilation and air-fluid levels.
  • Initial imaging excluded malrotation, volvulus, and intussusception, leaving the diagnosis unclear.

Findings:

  • Exploratory laparotomy revealed multiple rubber balls obstructing the small bowel.
  • The foreign bodies were identified as the cause of the obstruction.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the nature of the foreign bodies.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering foreign body ingestion in pediatric small bowel obstruction.
  • Radiologists and clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for unusual foreign bodies.
  • Early surgical intervention is crucial for favorable outcomes in pediatric bowel obstruction.
