Non-traumatic small bowel perforation, Etiological factors, Clinical featuresAbstract
Objective: Non-traumatic small bowel perforation is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. It is important to understand the causes, clinical features, surgical procedures, complications, and outcomes associated with this condition. This study aims to investigate these aspects within a specific hospital setting.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of medical records was conducted to identify cases of non-traumatic small bowel perforation. Data on patient demographics, etiological factors, clinical presentations, surgical procedures, complications, and outcomes were collected and analyzed. Statistical methods were employed to examine the relationships between variables.
Results: Small bowel perforation causes vary based on development status, with typhoid and tuberculosis more common in developing countries, and Crohn's disease and malignancies prevalent in developed countries. Patients present with symptoms like abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever. Diagnosis is challenging, with laparotomy being the primary method, and mortality rates remain high, reaching up to 42%.
Conclusion: Non-traumatic small bowel perforation is a serious condition with potentially life-threatening complications. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive surgical intervention are crucial for improving patient outcomes. Understanding the causes, clinical features, and surgical management of this condition can guide effective treatment strategies and reduce morbidity and mortality rates.
