Description
Early diagnosis of strangulation obstruction is very important for surgeons because delayed diagnosis often leads to severe complications. Thirty patients underwent an operation because of small bowel obstruction between April, 1993 and December, 1999. In the present study, we examined the differences in clinical findings between simple obstruction and strangulation obstruction. In addition, we examined the manifestation of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and whether it is useful for early diagnosis of strangulation obstruction, and whether it is correlated with the severity of ischemia due to strangulation. Tenderness was examined in all patients and signs such as abdominal irritation were detected more often in patients with strangulation obstruction than in the patients with simple obstruction. According to SIRS, the large number of the patients with strangulation obstruction showed SIRS before operation and the manifestation of SIRS correlated well with the length of the necrosis in the strangulated small bowel. We recognized the importance of anamnesis and clinical findings in examinations of small bowel obstruction, furthermore, it was suggested that SIRS should be the warning sign for strangulation obstruction.
