The surgical management of acute bowel ischemia in octogenarian patients to avoid Short Bowel Syndrome: a multicenter study
Background. This is a multicenter study performed in two Ita- lian tertiary care centers: General Emergency Surgery Unit at St. Orsola University Teaching Hospital - Bologna and Department of Surgical Sciences at Umberto I University Teaching Hospital - Ro- me. The aim was to compare the results of different approaches among elderly patients with acute bowel ischemia. Methods. Sixty-three patients were divided in two groups: 1) DSgroup- 28 patients treated in Vascular Unit and 2) GEgroup- 35 patients treated in Emergency Surgery Unit. Results.
Modified Paul-Mikulicz jejunostomy in frail geriatric patients undergoing emergency small bowel resection
BACKGROUND: Proximal or extended bowel resections are sometimes necessary during emergency surgery of the small bowel and call for creating a high small bowel stomy as a part of damage control surgery. Secondary restoration of intestinal continuity in the frail geriatric patient, further weakened by subsequent severe malabsorption may be prohibitive. METHODS: Six patients underwent emergency small bowel resection for proximal jejunal disease (83.3% high-grade adhesive SBO and 16.7% jejunal diverticulitis complicated with perforation).
