• Acute Abdomen

  She had undergone a laparotomy due to an obstructive acute abdomen a year before, and a frozen pelvis was found. Biopsy specimens had been collected and the pathological report revealed endometrioma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Of the patients with a rectosigmoid location, only a few cases have been reported as an acute abdomen [ 6, 7 ]. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

  Around 15% of acute abdomen cases are found to have a bowel obstruction. Once the bowel segment has become occluded, gross dilatation of the proximal limb of bowel occurs, resulting in an increased peristalsis of the bowel. [teachmesurgery.com]

For chronic constipation that does not respond to dietary changes the workup may include a physical exam, history, blood work, rectal exam, colonoscopy, barium enema, rectal manometry and transit time or motility studies. [hemorrhoidcentersamerica.com]

In CRCE, the long-term oncologic outcome can be influenced by an advanced disease and by the higher rate of incomplete preoperative workup. [wjes.biomedcentral.com]

• Bowel Distention

  During the freeze cycle of endoscopic spray cryotherapy, high-flow nitrogen was injected onto the tumor, which caused bowel distention. [acgcasereports.gi.org]

  Bowel distention leads to third-space volume loss, resulting in dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities. Symptoms are less severe in partial bowel obstruction. Diagnosis is confirmed on imaging with contrast-enhanced CT scan and abdominal x-rays. [amboss.com]
