Inflammatory Bowel Disorders

The lower gastrointestinal tract includes most of the small intestine and all of the large intestine. The patient presenting with an acute abdomen may have a bowel obstruction which could lead to ischaemia and perforation. Thorough assessment and close observation are imperative, because, if surgical intervention is indicated, this needs to be performed promptly. This chapter provides an overview of inflammatory bowel disorders, tumours, hernias, obstructions, the acute abdomen, ischaemic bowel, complications of bowel surgery, and stomas.

Common Causes

Uncomplicated diverticula of the small intestine are asymptomatic, extremely rare in everyday practice and, most often, are detected already with the development of complications such as perforation and abscess formation. Diagnosis of complicated diverticula of the small intestine is difficult due to many other, more common causes of acute abdomen, insufficient use of the capabilities of the methods of radiation diagnosis, the lack of application and correct interpretation of the results of instrumental and special research methods. The article presents a clinical case of perforation of the jejunum diverticulum. The results of effective MDCT diagnosis and successful surgical intervention are presented: laparoscopic resection of the jejunum with the formation of the primary hardware intracorporeal enteroentero-anastomosis side by side.
