A Mouse Model of Intestinal Partial Obstruction

[Early diagnosis of postoperative intestinal obstruction]
Abstract:
Forty-three patients were reoperated in the early postoperative period. In 27 of them the cause of early relaparotomy was postoperative intestinal obstruction. In 20 of these 27 patients the cause of postoperative obstruction were adhesive lesions. Of the 43 reoperated patients 31 showed distinct clinical signs and symptoms of postoperative obstruction. In 12 patients early diagnostic laparoscopy was performed due to unclear symptomatology. This allowed to obtain detailed information and to reduce the period of dynamic observation, to lessen postoperative risk, to avoid unnecessary relaparotomy.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...
