[Small bowel obstruction: decompression by suction through an enterotomy (author's transl)]

W Seidel

    Langenbecks Archiv Fur Chirurgie
    |November 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Open suction decompression via enterotomy is a fast, suitable method for bowel decompression. Careful technique and antibiotics minimize infection risk, but it should be reserved for infected cavities or when closed methods fail.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Infection Control

    Context:

    • Bowel decompression is crucial in surgical interventions.
    • Enterotomy is a common surgical approach.
    • Wound infection is a significant post-operative risk.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of open suction decompression.
    • To compare open suction with closed decompression methods.
    • To define optimal conditions for employing open suction decompression.

    Summary:

    • Open suction decompression, utilizing a device with large openings inserted through an enterotomy, offers a rapid and effective method.
    • Meticulous surgical technique and antibiotic prophylaxis substantially mitigate the risk of surgical site infections.
    • This technique is recommended for cases with pre-existing peritoneal infection or when closed decompression is not feasible.

    Impact:

    • Provides a valuable, rapid decompression technique for specific surgical scenarios.
    • Highlights strategies for minimizing infectious complications associated with open suction.
    • Informs clinical decision-making regarding the choice between open and closed decompression methods.
