Abstract:
A 76-year-old man with thoracic aortic aneurysm was admitted to our hospital. Aortic arch replacement was performed uneventfully. He suffered from abdominal pain 17 days after the operation. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a strangulated bowel obstruction, and we performed emergent open abdominal surgery. During the operation, we found an adhesion between the greater omentum and the retroperitoneum. The small intestine was intussuscepted into this site, and strangulated with necrosis of a 35-cm length. We performed a partial resection of the small intestine. We encountered rare strangulated bowel obstruction after open heart surgery due to adhesion of the great omentum in a patient without a history of abdominal surgery.
