BACKGROUND Typhoid fever remains a major health problem in the developing world. Intestinal perforation is a lethal complication and continues to occur in impoverished areas despite advances in preventive and therapeutic strategies. OBJECTIVES To estimate the case fatality rate (CFR) and length of hospital stay among patients with typhoid intestinal perforation in developing countries. DATA...

Intestinal perforation is an extremely rare complication of hemangioma of the small intestine in the neonatal period. This is a case report of a 27-days-old male infant who presented with signs and symptoms of acute intestinal obstruction. Exploratory laparotomy findings revealed intestinal perforation due to solitary hemangioma in the ileum, which led to obstruction from peritoneal reaction an...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Colonoscopy is widely used for diagnosis, treatment, and control of intestinal disorders. Intestinal perforation, although rare, is the most feared complication. Perforations can be treated by endoscopic clamping. The objective of this report was to alert specialists for the development and treatment of abdominal compartment syndrome during endoscopic clamping of an in...

Background: Intestinal perforation is a surgical emergency often, encountered. Usually, coelotomy performed to manage intestinal perforation. It has been the gold standard approach deal with for past decades in conjunction various procedures. Post laparotomy wound related complications have biggest challenge general surgeons till date, so much as adding up morbidity, severe burst abdomen. Lapar...

Crohn's disease is well known for its multiple intestinal complications. The chronic nature and fibrous inflammation which invariably accompanies this disease explains the relative rarity of free intestinal perforation. The true incidence of free bowel perforation is difficult to assess but 1-2% is the anticipated occurrence during the course of illness. We present a case of Crohn's disease whi...

AIM OF THE STUDY Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading cause of death in European population. It progresses without any symptoms in the early stages or those clinical symptoms are very discrete. The aim of this study was a retrospective analysis of treatment outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer complicated with intestinal perforation. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analys...

PURPOSE An intestinal perforation is a rare condition, but has a high mortality rate, even after immediate surgical intervention. The clinical predictors of postoperative morbidity and mortality are still not well established, so this study attempted to identify risk factors for postoperative morbidity and mortality after surgery for an intestinal perforation. METHODS We retrospectively analy...

A44-year-oldmanpresented to our hospital with a 4-year history of recurrent abdominal pain and diarrhea. It had been suspected at his local hospital that he had Crohn’s disease, so he came to our hospital for a further assessment. Retrograde double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) was performed. A perforation overlying a deep ulcer was seen at the lower part of the ileum during withdrawal of the enter...

Dilatation and curettage (D&C) sometimes causes uterine perforation, which usually does not cause a serious problem. Here, we report uterine perforation caused by D&C, in which the small intestine prolapsed from the uterus, requiring intestinal resection. D&C was performed for missed abortion at 9 weeks. After dilating the cervix, forceps grasped tissue that, upon being pulled, resulted in the ...

The results of operative intervention in 19 neonates with necrotising enterocolitis are reported. There were four deaths (21%) in the series. Intestinal perforation was the indication for surgery in 10 cases (55%), three of which did not survive. Timing of operative intervention can be optimised only by close liaison between experienced physicians and surgeons in order to avoid intestinal perfo...
