What Causes Intestinal Strangulation?

Intestinal strangulation (cutting off of the blood supply to the intestine)


usually results from one of three causes.

MECHANICAL INTESTINAL
OBSTRUCTION
Common causes of obtruction at each age group

Neonate -Congenital atresia


-Volvulus neonatum
-Meconeum ileus
-Hirschsprungs disease
-Imperforate anus
-Stranggulated inguinal hernia
Infant
-Intussuception
-Complication of Meckels diverticulum
-Hischsprungs diseases

Young adult

-Adhesions and bands


-Strangulated ing.hernia

Middle age

-Adhesesion and band


-Strangulated Ing.hernia
-Strangulated fem.hernia
-Carcinoma colon
-Volvulus

Elderly

-Adhesion and bands


-Strangulated Ing.hernia
-Strangulated fem.hernia
-Carcinoma colon
-Volvulus
-Impacted faeces

Incidence
May occur at any age
70 percent small bowel,
30 percent large bowel

Physiologic and Pathologic


Derangement
Fluid and electrolyte disturbances
-8 10 L of fluid are secreted
-Sequestration within the dilated loop--

hypovolumic shock --> SIRS MODS


Bacteriology
-Rapid colonisation
Pathology
-High intra luminar pressure- oedematous--
cyanosis intraperitoneal exudation necrosis
perforation--peritonitis -> SIRS -> MODS

Clinical Manifestations
Sign - the classic quartet->pain,vomiting,constipation,abd
dist

Abdominal pain is colicky

-On Auscultation -borborygmi


-metalic sound
Vomiting
- Consists food and gastric chyme- bile faeculent
Absolute constipation
Abdominal distension - ACS
-Inspection distended visible peristalsis and colicky pain
Scars-- Adhesion or Band
Vital Sign---Pulse - SBP RR Temp-- hypovolumic shock ?
Palpation--- palpable mass - DRE

Diagnoctic Studies

Laboratory test--fecal occult blood test


Sigmoidoscopy
X ray examination
Plain X ray --- Erect and lying down -
routinely
Follow-through studies after ingestion of
radiopague meal --- gastrografin
Barium enema X ray

Treatment

NGT
Rehydration
Foley bag Catheter
Antibiotics
Informed concent
Exploratory laporotomy

Exploratory Laparotomy
Inspected and palpated the Caecum
-Distended--- colon obstruction
-Collapsed--- small bowel obstruction
Distended SBO - Prevent Abd.Comp.syndrom
-Retrograde milkingby Jones and Matheson(1968)
-canula inserted + pursetring suture ?
-Enterostomy
Distended LBO- Prevent Abd.Comp.Syndrom
-canula inserted + pursestring suture
-Caecostomy

Emergency Intestinal obstruction due


to Colon Cancer

Right Hemicolectomy
Extended Right Hemicolectomy
Hartmants procedures
Proximal colostomy
By Pass
On-table antegrade irigation of the large

bowel-- one staged colon operation ?

Emergency Intestinal obstruction due


to Sigmoid volvulus

The upper limb of the loop descends

in front of the lower, twisting on its


mesenteric axis from one half to two
turns in counterclock-wise direction
Predisposing condition-long and
freely movable meso sigmoid

Treatment
Consevative
- Barium enema
- LLD + general anestesi -
sigmoidocopy rectal tube lubbricated
- left in place 48 hours
Operative
- Resection Hartmantns operation
- After conservative bowel preparation-
resection end to end
anastomosis

Treatment

Emergency Intestinal obstruction due to


ADHESIONS AND BANDS

Classification :
- Congenital
- Acquired

Aetiology :
1. infection -> fibrin --- fibroblast -fibrous
adhesion
2. tissue ischaemia -vascular collateral
fibrous
matrix-- fibrous adhesion
3. corpus alienum

A. fibrin --- fibroblast -fibrous adhesion

B. tissue ischaemia -vascular collateral fibrous matrix--


fibrous adhesion

Attempts to Prevent Adhesions


To prevent Fibrin deposit --Anti coagulan
Dextran , Trasylol
Remove fibrin exudat Peritoneal lavage
Separate bowel surfaces - peristalsis
Inhibit fiboblast proliferation - Anti
histamin , Steroid

Treatment
Trial of conservative --- Spontaneus
remmision

Exploratory laporotomy
- simple lysis
- resection
- by pass
- plication
