Abstract:
An 81-year-old woman who had undergone laparoscopic distal gastrectomy complained of abdominal pain 21 days after the operation.Blood tests showed a strong inflammatory reaction.Abdominal CT revealed a perforation in the small intestinal diverticula.Partial jejunectomy including the diverticulum was performed.The diverticular perforation was attributed to the presence of undigested food in the diverticulum.The patient had an uneventful postoperative course, and she was discharged on postoperative day 32.
