Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

455
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:

Appendicitis-II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

511
Diagnosing and managing appendicitis requires a structured and comprehensive approach that spans from initial assessment to postoperative care. Here is an overview of the process:
Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...

Infection

11.9K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

3.6K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

747
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

574
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Summary

Non-operative management (NOM) followed by surgery for small bowel obstruction (SBO) may increase deep surgical site infection (SSI) risk compared to direct surgery. This highlights the need to evaluate factors influencing operative timing and outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical outcomes research
  • Gastrointestinal surgery
  • Infectious disease epidemiology

Background:

  • The Bologna guideline offers three management pathways for small bowel obstruction (SBO).
  • The impact of pathway selection on post-operative infection rates remains under-investigated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between SBO management pathways and post-operative infection incidence.
  • To compare outcomes between non-operative management (NOM) followed by surgery (NOM-T) and direct-to-surgery (DTS) pathways.

Main Methods:

  • A multi-national, prospective, observational audit of 1,737 SBO patients across 21 countries.
  • Patients were categorized into successful NOM, NOM-T, and DTS groups.
  • Statistical comparisons used chi-square or Fisher exact tests (p < 0.05 significance).

Main Results:

  • Operative cohorts (NOM-T vs. DTS) showed similar demographics but more comorbidities in NOM-T.
  • Intestinal ischemia was higher in DTS (33%) versus NOM-T (22.8%).
  • Deep surgical site infections (SSI) were more frequent in NOM-T (5.5%) compared to DTS (2.8%, p=0.035), despite similar overall SSI rates.

Conclusions:

  • An initial trial of non-operative management before surgery for adhesive SBO may elevate the risk of deep SSI.
  • Factors such as delayed time to operating room and hospital/surgeon variables likely contribute to increased deep SSI risk.
  • Further evaluation of these contributing elements is warranted to optimize patient care.
