Adhesive Intestinal Obstruction

Meckel’s diverticulum (DM) is a formation of the ileum caused by incomplete obliteration of the omphalomesenteric duct in the developing embryo. This is one of the most common anomalies of the digestive tract in children. Most DM develops completely asymptomatically. Clinical symptoms develop in only 16% of cases, and 50–60% of them are children under 10 years, an average of 2.5 years of age. The severity of clinical symptoms in DM is associated with the development of complications: intestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction (intussusception, strangulation intestinal obstruction), diverticulitis with perforation and peritonitis, etc. The article presents a clinical case of adhesive intestinal obstruction in an 8-year-old, which occurred after DM in the anamnesis. As the adhesive intestinal obstruction is an extremely rare complication of DM in children, the presence of patients with acute surgical pathology of the abdominal cavity requires pediatric surgeons to clearly understand the occurrence of such complications in the perspective of the development of intestinal tube defect – DM and the need for the immediate radical treatment tactics in the event of this problem. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interest was declared by the authors. Key words: children, Meckel’s diverticulum, complications, adhesive intestinal obstruction.

Meckel Diverticulum

Meckel's diverticulum, according to various statistics, is found in cases of celiac disease in approximately 0.1-1.0% of patients. PN Yurovskaya observed 14 cases of Meckel diverticulum among 1126 patients who underwent laparotomy. During gluttony, the specified diverticulum comes across not only as an accidental find, but often turns out to be the cause of catastrophes in the abdominal cavity: intestinal obstruction, peritonitis, intestinal bleeding, etc. T.

Methods Of Treatment

The purpose of the research was to establish main causes of development and outcomes of adhesive obstruction.We analyzed the outcomes of treatment of 154 patients with acute intestinal obstruction. The following data were taken into consideration: age, gender, surgeries in past medical history, terms of adhesions manifestations, clinical symptoms, findings of additional examinations, methods of treatment, outcome. It has been established, that the most frequent causes of adhesions were appendectomy (23%), stomach operations (21 %) and gynecological interventions (14 %). After surgeries performed in conditions of regional hospitals, adhesions developed after appendectomy, gynecological operations and interventions on the intestine. In patients operated in city hospitals intestinal obstruction more often occurred after extensive operations on the stomach, appendix, and after gynecological interventions. Urgent surgical interventions more often led to adhesive process in the abdominal cavity (63 %). Mortality made 5.8 %. Causes of death were intestinal fistulas and abdominal sepsis.Thus, acute adhesive intestinal obstruction as an extreme form of abdominal adhesions continues to be an urgent medical issue.

Meckel's Diverticulum

Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine. Common complications related to a Meckel's diverticulum include haemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, and inflammation. Small bowel obstruction due to mesodiverticular band of Meckel's diverticulum is a rare complication. Herein, we report the diagnosis and management of a small bowel obstruction occurring due to mesodiverticular band of a Meckel's diverticulum.

Umbilical Polyp

THE PURPOSE of this paper is to report a recent case of an umbilical polyp and intestinal obstruction during the neonatal period. Umbilical polyps are rare. When present, they may be associated with Meckel's diverticulum because both are remnants of the omphalomesenteric duct. The presence of the visible polyp may give an external clue to otherwise obscure intraabdominal symptoms. A review of the literature earlier than 1916 is well summarized in a book by Thomas Cullen. This unusual volume lists six cases of umbilical polyp accompanied by other pathologic complications of Meckel's diverticulum. This author stressed that in these cases it should be pointed out to either the patient or his parents that possible intra-abdominal duct remnants may, at any time, give rise to symptoms such as intestinal obstruction. Penberthy and Benson reported a 9-year-old male with an umbilical polyp which had been present since birth and was without discharge. This youngster died following operation for intestinal obstruction due to volvulus about the diverticulum and its fibrous connection with the umbilical polyp. These authors pleaded for early elective operations in these cases prior to such complications. Gross gave other reasons for observation, and exploration at a reasonably early age, if a Meckel's diverticulum is suspected. Peritonitis from a ruptured Meckel's diverticulum is peculiarly dangerous; in young children the protecting omentum is inadequate and the migrating nature of the anomaly adds to the danger. Fluid from perforation of a diverticulum is usually of greater volume than that found in appendiceal rupture and abscess.

Surgical Clinic

Of the 896 patients admitted to the surgical clinic of the Mordovian University in 1967-1976. for intestinal obstruction, 507 (56.6%) had adhesive intestinal obstruction or adhesive disease of the abdominal cavity. Adhesive disease of the abdominal cavity can occur at any age, but more often - from 20 to 50 years. The time elapsed from the operation to the onset of symptoms, adhesions (pain attacks), in 52 patients did not exceed 1 month, in 80 it was from 2 to 6 months, in 186 - from 6 months to 1 year, in 142 - from 1 year up to 5 years and in 47 - from 5 to 10 years or more.
