Intraoperative accurate location and its effect on surgical treatment for acute intestinal hemorrhage / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of intraoperative accurate localization of bleeding slte for acute intestinal hemorrhage. Method Twenty-two patients with acute intestinal hemorrhage,admitted from January 1995 to June 2007,were reviewed retrospectively.GrouD A included 5 patients who were treated with intestinal resection following intervention radiological marking.Group B included 5 patmnts who were treated by intestinal resection without intervention radiological marking.Group C included 12 patients who were treated by interventional embolization.The exact diagnostic rate,the recurrence of hemorrhage,the length of intestine removed and the operative time were calculated and analyzed respectively.Results All the cases in group A were correctly diagnosed.The diagnostic rale of group A was higher than that of group B significantly(x2=6.667,P=0.024).The average length of intestine removed in group A was(12±7)cm shorter than that in group B(108±23)cm significantly (t=-8.574,P=0.000).The procedure lasted(119±12)min in group A shorter than the(218±45)min in group B significantly(t=-4.730,P=0.001).There was no case with recurrent hemorrhage in group A,but the recurrence of hemorrhage was up to 60.0%(x2=4.286,P=0.083)in group B and 66.7%in group C(x3=6.296,P=0.020). Conclusions The treatment outcome after intestinal removal following intervention radiological marking is better than those of non-marking groups.The locating method with alloy coil made of Nickel-Platinum is rapid and accurate.C-arm X ray device helps to find the metal marker hence to give an accurate guide for bowel resection.
