ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility and safety of the artificial pneumoperitoneum and gastrointestinal contrast CT imaging, and imaging diagnostic value on abdominal wall adhesion to intestine after operation. MethodsThirtynine patients with adhesive intestinal obstruction after operation relieved by conservative therapy were included from January 2008 to November 2009. After the artificial pneumoperitoneum established by injection of gas into abdominal cavity and gastrointestinal comparison by oral administration low concentration of meglucamine diatrizoate, CT scan imaging was performed and the radiographic results were compared with surgical findings. ResultsFour patients refused surgery and discharged, so enterolysis was performed in the remaining patients. The surgical findings were consistent with radiographic results. It was showed by laparoscopic operation that intestinal obstruction caused by the fibrous adhesions and the intestine did not adhere to the abdominal wall in eight patients with fibrous adhesion diagnosed by CT. Of eighteen patients with the abdominal wall septally adhered to the intestinal, the surgical findings showed the intestine and the abdominal wall formed “M”type adhesions and omentum adhesions in sixteen patients underwent open operation, and clear fat space was showed in eight patients and close adhesion was found in another eight patients between the intestine and abdominal wall. Of thirteen patients with the abdominal wall tentiformly adhered to the intestinal, the surgical findings showed the intestine and the abdominal wall formed continuous and tentiform adhesions and omentum adhesions to the intestine in eleven patients. After the followup of 6-18 months (mean 9 months), incomplete intestinal obstruction occurred in one patient and was relieved by conservative treatment. One patient with discontinuous discomfort in abdomen after operation did not receive any treatment. The other patients were cured. ConclusionThe artificial pneumoperitoneum and gastrointestinal contrast CT imaging can accurately show the location, area, and structure composition of the postoperative abdominal wall adhesion to intestine, which is safety, simple, and bly repeatable, and a better imaging method for the diagnosing of abdominal wall adhesion to intestine after operation.

Objective To array the small intestine so that the uncontrollable adhesions will turn to controllable abhesions in order to prevent the intestinal obstruction. Methods Literatures were reviewed. The advance of plication of small intestine has passed through three stages: 1st, sewing the intestine just like the array of harpsichord keys; then, using straight needle with coarse threads to make a ‘U’ suture for the mesentery of small intestine so the intestine was arrayed, and 3rd inserting a Millers-Abbott tube into the lumen of small intestine followed by manual arrangement of the intestine. Results Using the Millers-Abbott tube the intestine was fixed in a steady position and arrayed in a half moon circular shape to avoid sharp angle. As a result, the intra-luminal pressure of the intestinal was effectively decreased. Follow up 45 cases showed the cure rate of 91.9%. Conclusion This operation has widely been accepted by the surgeons for its simplicity, high efficacy and reliability. It reduces the recurrence rate of adhesive obstruction.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the application of ultrasonically activated scalpel in laparoscopic intestinal adhesion release.MethodsIntestinal adhesion release with ultrasonically activated scalpel under laparoscope was performed in 29 patients suffered from intestinal adhesive obstruction after gynecological operation. ResultsAll operations were successfully performed, and none of them converted into open surgery. Intestinal disruption occurred durring operation in 2 patients with extensive intestinal denseadhesion which were mended successfully under laparoscope. The operative duration was 30-150 min (mean 45 min). Postoperative complications such as bowel leakage, bleeding, abdominal infection were not experienced. Postoperative hospital stay was 3-7 days (mean 4 days). No case had relapse symptom such as abdominal distention or pain after 1-24 months of followup. ConclusionCompared with electric scalpel, ultrasonically activated scalpel can improve the operative safety, lessen tissue damage, shorten operative time, and reduce the chance of relapse in laparoscopic operation in gynecology.
ObjectiveTo observe effect of interferon-γ in preventing intestinal adhesion following abdominal surgery in rats.MethodsA total of 60 Wistar rats were selected, which were randomly divided into a sham operation (SO) group, model group, dexamethasone (DXMS) group, and interferon-γ group, then the interferon-γ group was randomly divided into a low, medium, and high concentrations subgroups. Except for the SO group, the laparotomies with file friction caecum were performed for all the other groups to establish the intestinal adhesion model. SO group and model group were intraperitoneally injected with saline for 4 mL/kg. The 10 mg/kg dexamethasone was injected into the abdominal cavity of rats in the DXMS group. The 7.5×104, 1.5×105, and 3.0×105 U/kg interferon-γ concentrations were injected into the abdominal cavity of rats in the low, medium, and high concentrations subgroups respectively. The Nair grading of cecum adhesion degree was assessed on the 8th day after the surgery, then the histopathological change was observed by the HE staining under the microscopy and the hydroxyproline content in the cecum tissue was detected.Results① The intestinal adhesion: Compared with the SO group, the intestinal adhesions occurred in all the other groups and the degrees of intestinal adhesions evaluated by the Nair grading were more significantly serious (P<0.05), which in the DXMS group and the medium and high concentrations of interferon-γ subgroups were significantly reduced (P<0.05) as compared with the model group, which in the high concentration of interferon-γ subgroup was significantly reduced (P<0.05) as compared with the DXMS group. ② The microscopic observation of histopathological results: Compared with the DXMS group, the high concentration of interferon-γ could effectively reduce the occurrence of fibrous tissue and inflammatory cell infiltration, the intestinal wall muscular layer structure was complete, a few inflammatory cells scattered in the infiltration. ③ The hydroxyproline content: The contents of hydroxyproline in the cecum tissue of the model group, DXMS group, and interferon-γ subgroups were significantly increased (P<0.05) as compared with the SO group, which of the DXMS group and medium and high concentrations of interferon-γ subgroups were significantly decreased (P<0.05) as compared with the model group, which of the high concentration of interferon-γ subgroup was significantly decreased (P<0.05) as compared with the DXMS group.ConclusionInterferon-γ has a preventive and therapeutic effect on postoperative intestinal adhesion and cecum injuries.
ObjectiveTo investigate the anti-inflammatory mechanism of sodium aescinate in preventing postoperative intestinal adhesion in rats. MethodsThe SD rats were subjected to operation for establishing intestinal adhesion models, then randomly divided into model group, dexamethasone group(dexamethasone, i.v. 5 mg/kg), and sodium aescinate group(sodium aescinate, i.v. 2 mg/kg), 10 rats in each group. Another ten normal rats were selected as sham operation group. One times administration was administered on day 1 before establishing adhesion model, and administration for 3 d after modeling, once a day. On day 7 after operation, all of the rats were killed. The intestinal adhesion was graded and the adhesive tissues were taken for hydroxyproline determination. The levels of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α, interleukin(IL)-1β, and IL-6 in the serum were detected by ELISA. ResultsCompared with the model group, sodium aescinate could obviously improve the severity of postoperative adhesion, markedly decrease hydroxyproline content in the adhesive tissues(P < 0.01), and significantly inhibit the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in the serum(P < 0.01). ConclusionSodium aescinate could effectively prevent the formation of postoperative intestinal adhesion by inhibiting the expressions of inflammatory cytokines and decreasing the inflammatory response.
