Abdominal Drain Causing Early Small Bowel Obstruction After Laparoscopic Colectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a rare drain-related complication leading to small bowel obstruction after laparoscopic colectomy. An 82-year-old man developed small bowel obstruction on the second day after laparoscopic anterior resection. Emergency relaparoscopy found herniation of the small bowel mesentery into the side holes of the silicon intraabdominal drain, which led to a 90-degree acute turn of the small bowel and mechanical obstruction. The herniation was reduced, and the drain was removed laparoscopically.

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive approach with good treatment outcomes and is currently the standard surgery for colorectal cancer in Japan.
