Short bowel disease after emergency surgery for massive intestinal infarction. A case report and review of the literature
Abstract
Mesenteric ischemia is an infrequent diagnosis, although it carries substantial morbidity and mortality. In adults, the massive resection of small bowel leaving less than 150 cm of intestine results in malabsorption and diarrhoea and defines the short bowel syndrome (SBS). In this report, we present a case of emergency surgery with a near total enterectomy due to superior mesenteric ischemia with a long time of survival. KEY WORDS: Case report, General surgery, Mesenteric ischemia, Small intestine.
L’ischemia mesenterica è di rara diagnosi, sebbene comporti una sostanziale morbilità e mortalità. Negli adulti la resezione di un tratto di tenue, lasciando meno di 150 cm, determina malassorbimento, diarrea nel complesso della sindeome da intestino corto (SBS). Riferiamo qui il caso di chirurgia d’urgenza che ha comportato la quasi totale enterectomia per ischemia dell’arteria mesenterica superiore, seguita da una lunga sopravvivenza.
