Abstract
in English, French

Duodenal and jejunal resections were performed in a cat with septic peritonitis due to small intestinal perforations by a linear foreign body. Three days later jejunal resection and anastomosis were repeated due to dehiscence of the anastomosis site. This segment of intestine was exteriorized through the body wall and managed with bandages for 5 days before it was surgically replaced into the abdomen. The cat made a full recovery.

Gestion réussie d’une déhiscence d’une anastomose jéjunojéjunale par l’extériorisation extraabdominale et des pansements chez un chat atteint de péritonite septique. Des résections duodénale et jéjunale ont été réalisées chez un chat atteint de péritonite septique en raison de petites perforations intestinales par un corps étranger linéaire. Trois jours plus tard, la résection jéjunale et l’anastomose ont été répétées en raison d’une déhiscence du site de l’anastomose. Ce segment de l’intestin était extériorisé au travers de la paroi du corps et il a été géré à l’aide de pansements pendant 5 jours jusqu’à ce qu’il soit replacé dans l’abdomen par une chirurgie. Le chat s’est complètement rétabli.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).
