Foreign body-induced gastrointestinal perforation or acute abdomen in gynaecological practice: case report and literature review / 中华全科医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Based on retrospective study of one case of foreign body-induced gastrointestinal perforation and systematic review of related literature, we found that foreign body induced-gastrointestinal perforation was characterized by low incidence and none specific clinical or imaging manifestations. Laparoscopy as a minimally invasive procedure could help to get definite diagnosis, while laparotomy seemed to be equally important in disease diagnosis and treatment.
