BRYANT ON INTERNAL INTESTINAL STRANGULATION AND OBSTRUCTION

Results of Experimental Intestinal Strangulation Obstruction in Germfree Rats

Experimental low ileal strangulation obstruction has been produced in germfree and conventional rats. The mean survival time was 240 hours in the germfree rats and 44 hours in the conventional controls. 4 of the 10 germfree rats survived 15 or more days, whereas the 10 conventional animals were all dead within 2(1/2) days. The strangulation obstruction fluid from the germfree animals was steril...

Intestinal Obstruction with Internal Hæmorrhage

A rare case of internal small intestinal strangulation

Although internal abdominal hernias cause acute intestinal obstruction in no more than 6% of cases, the lethality associated with them reaches 50% in case of untimely diagnosed strangulation and gangrene of the intestine. The rarest type of such hernias is a transomental hernia, which occurs in 1-4% of cases. The diagnosis is difficult when such hernias are strangulated; therefore, they require...

Effect of Small Intestine Strangulation Obstruction on Clinical and Histopathological Parameters An Experimental Study in Donkeys

To study clinical and histopathological changes occur within the first 12 hours of strangulating obstruction of the small intestine in equine, twenty five adult donkeys were used in an experimental study. Strangulation obstruction of the small intestine was performed for 3, 6, 9 and 12 hours, respectively. Clinical examination was done before surgery and at 3 hours intervals postoperatively. Af...

Intestinal strangulation and sub-acute bowel obstruction in direct inguinal hernia

Strangulation, secondary to reduced blood flow, is a well-known complication of herniae. Signs of bowel activity do not rule out the possibility of vascular compromise. Raised inflammatory markers and a positive computed tomography scan can lead to a preoperative diagnosis, but the mortality rate remains high.
