This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Intestinal obstruction and foreign body removal (backup), Procedure is - make midline abdominal incision - isolate the segment to be entered with moisture sponges - milk bowel contents away from preposed entertomy site - place non-crushing intestinal forceps/assistant's finger across bowel to minimize spilage - make full thickness longitudinal stab incision in to the lumen and enlarge it with forceps - perform enterotomy in the healthy intestinal tissue distal to the foreign body (aboral region) - close enterotomy incision with 3/0 or 4/0 synthetic absorbable suture material in an appositional suture pattern - rinse site with warm saline - use syringe and needle to inject saline into the lumen of the intestine near the suture to ensure there are no openings to facilitate leakage - An omentum or jejunal onlay patch can be used to reinforce the suture line - replace intestine into body wall - perform routine abdominal closure, Intestinal blockage and Foreign body removal made difficult by Complications [MO], Intestinal blockage and Foreign body removal Perform via Enterotomy, Enterotomy involves Procedure, Intestinal blockage and Foreign body removal identified Clinical Signs [MO], Enterotomy involves Appositional suture, Intestinal blockage and Foreign body removal Involves Indications [MO]
