Proven Method

An acute abdomen is an urgent condition requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment. Nowadays, with the new developments and progression in ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT), these methods have become a far better alternative to plain abdominal radiography. US is now an available and proven method used to provide a “final” diagnosis in various conditions. The frequency for CT examination for the diagnosis of acute abdomen has increased. A disadvantage of using CT examination includes high doses of radiation for the patient. Fortunately, this disadvantage is outweighed by the multitude of advantages. The advantages include high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of causes in urgent conditions. The CT protocol of examination is primarily lead by the radiologist.

Group I

Background About 50% of the elderly undergoing emergency abdominal surgery are malnourished. The role of timely surgical nutritional access in this group of patients is unknown. Methods We analyzed the National Inpatient Sample database from 2009 through the first three-quarters of 2015 of patients aged ≥65 years who were malnourished and underwent major abdominal surgery for the acute abdomen within the first 2 days of hospital admission. Results Of 3 246 721 patients analyzed, 4311 patients met inclusion criteria. Of these, only 507 (11.8%) patients had surgical nutritional access (gastrostomy or jejunostomy) (group I), while 3804 patients (88.2%) did not (group II). In the propensity score-matched population, there were 482 patients in each group. The patients in group I had lower odds of mortality and postoperative gastrointestinal complications (paralytic ileus, anastomotic dehiscence, and intestinal fistulae) ( P-value <.01, respectively). Discussion Elderly who receive surgical nutritional access have lower rates of gastrointestinal complications and mortality.

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.
