Abstract:

Exploratory laparotomy surgery is a procedure that is often found in patients with adhesive obstruction ileus. In the intraoperative phase, exploratory laparotomy takes a long time and exposure to cold environments and anesthetic drugs often causes hypothermia which has an impact on serious complications. The purpose of this study was to analyze intraoperative hypothermia management interventions in patients undergoing exploratory laparotomy surgery with adhesiolysis and jejunal diverticulectomy.

Abstract:

Enterocutaneous fistula is defined as an abnormal communication between the intestinal lumen and the skin usually associated with abdominal surgeries, trauma, Crohn's disease, hernia mesh erosions and diverticulitis. We report a case of 46-year-old male, obese, referred to general surgery for enterocutaneous fistula in hernia sac. He had undergone exploratory laparotomy for gunshot wound to the abdomen 6 years ago where he underwent subtotal colectomy, splenectomy and terminal ileostomy with amputation of the rectal stump. In the current case report, obesity and surgical technique at laparotom

Abstract:

We present two patients with air found in the right upper quadrant on standard abdominal x-ray. One was diagnosed with pneumobilia and underwent elective surgery for a bilioenteric fistula. The other was diagnosed with portal vein gas and underwent an emergency exploratory laparotomy at which a superior mesenteric artery embolism was found. The differential diagnostic criteria for pneumobilia and portal vein gas are described. If portal venous gas is found on x-ray in patients with abdominal pain, it is recommended that management is aggressive, meaning an emergency exploratory laparotomy, bec
