This emergency situation may be caused by excessive stress on the wound from coughing, hiccups, vomiting or distention; inadequate or tight sutures; wound infection; diabetes; poor nutrition or hematoma.[livestrong.com]
In addition, these data suggest that a lack of the seat belt sign, abdominalbruising, abdominal wounds, or abdominal tenderness are individually predictive of patients who will not require surgical intervention. Copyright 2017 Elsevier Inc.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pain and wound hyperalgesia were consistently greater on the "unblocked" side for the 3-wk period of observation. Thus, even imperfect intraoperative attenuation of noxious stimuli can lead to persistent reductions in postoperative pain.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The effects of nitrous oxide and helium pneumoperitoneum compared with carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum are uncertain.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In all 21 cases the pneumoperitoneum was established with Veress needle at the Palmer's point and the procedure was carried out after adhesiolysis in 62% of cases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We also offer the latest treatments for complex ventral hernias (a condition in which tissues are pushing through the abdominal wall), such as the preoperative progressive pneumoperitoneum technique for particularly large ventral hernias.[ucsfhealth.org]
With an ageing population, the number of elderly patients, as well as challenges concerning treatment will arise, calling for a coordinated effort both nationally and internationally to enhance treatment in this vulnerable patient group.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The remaining 50% (68 of 138) had treatment limitations, applied pre- or postoperatively, of which 4% were treated in the ICU ward.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
OBJECTIVES: Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the preferred treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in select patients. Many patients listed for OLT have a history of prior upper abdominal surgery (UAS).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
PURPOSE: To analyse technical success, complications, and short- and intermediate-term outcomes after heparin-bonded stent graft implantation for the treatment of major abdominal vessel injury after upper abdominal surgery.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, little is known about the impact of previous abdominal surgery on the clinical characteristics and prognosis of PLA.The clinical data of 392 adult PLA patients who received treatment at our hospital from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2016 were[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of retention sutures on abdominal pressure and postoperative prognosis in abdominal surgery patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We hypothesize that previous abdominal surgery (PAS) for associated congenital intestinal conditions could be used to identify BA earlier, perhaps improving prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Therefore, improving the intestinal microenvironment and intestinal barrier function before surgery is crucial to prevent POICs following highly invasive abdominal surgeries.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A video-assisted thoracoscopy procedure was undertaken, but the extensive pleural effusions, caused in part by the delay in the diagnosis, prevented the exact localization of the duct and its closure.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Prehabilitation, including endurance exercise training and promotion of physical activity, in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery has been postulated as an effective preventive intervention to reduce postoperative complications[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
