8. Preoperative Diagnosis of Small Bowel Volvulus in Adults.

Author

Juler, George L., Stemmer, Edward A., and Connolly, John E.

Subjects
VOLVULUS, SMALL intestine diseases, BOWEL obstructions, DISEASE management, ACUTE abdomen
Abstract

The article presents a study on small bowel volvulus in adults. The condition is always associated with small bowel obstruction. There are two types of volvulus: primary volvulus and secondary volvulus. The researchers examined forty cases of small bowel volvulus to determine why they fail to improve the management of the disease. Researchers found that hesitancy and inaccurate diagnosis are the factors that increase the rate of bowel infarction in patients with small bowel volvulus.

9. Characteristics of the Stimulus Necessary to Produce the Dumping Syndrome.

Author

Stemmer, Edward A., Hegeman, Charles O., and Connolly, John E.

Subjects
DUMPING syndrome, POSTGASTRECTOMY syndromes, VASOMOTOR system, GASTROINTESTINAL diseases, METABOLIC disorders
Abstract

An experimental study was performed to determine the characteristics of the stimulus necessary to produce the dumping syndrome. It was apparent that in order for both the vasomotor and gastrointestinal symptoms of the dumping syndrome to become manifest the stimulus must be hypertonic, absorbable and metabolically active. Our study confirmed that the dumping syndrome is a metabolic as well as a mechanical disturbance and established a rationale for the medical treatment of this surgical complication.

10. Asymptomatic Peptic Disease in Patients undergoing Major Elective Operations: A Prospective Endoscopic Study.

Abstract

Postoperative bleeding is usually attributed to stress ulcers; however, occult preoperative lesions could also be responsible. To determine their frequency and nature, we prospectively examined 72 patients endoscopically prior to major elective operations. Entry criteria included a planned stay in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit, >2 days, and a negative history, physical examination, and stool guaiac. Gastric and duodenal mucosae were scored separately, using a 0- to 7-point scale. Scores were graded negative (0), hyperemia (1), gastroduodenitis (2-5), mucosal erosions (6), and ulcers (7). Erosions or ulcers were found in 14% of patients and gastroduodenitis is an additional 10%. We found that none of the 27 risk factors or any combination of factors tested correlated with ulcers, erosions, or gastroduodenitis. Thus, patients with asymptomatic gastroduodenal erosions or ulcerations could not be identified preoperatively, except by endoscopy. Until the significance of these lesions as cause of postoperative bleeding is determined, we recommend routine postoperative gastric pH titration with antacids for patients undergoing major elective operations.
