Overview
Surgery in mesenteric ischemia is done to resect the ischemic bowel in order to prevent the complications.
Surgery
- The goals of surgical therapy are as follows:
- Re-establishment blood supply to the ischemic bowel
- Resection of all non-viable areas of the bowel
- Preservation of the viable bowel
- Intestinal viability is defined as the maximum vital element influencing outcome in patients with AMI.
- Non-viable bowel, if unrecognized, can cause multi-organ failure and lead to the death eventually.
- Laparotomy allows to determine the viability of the bowel.
- After preliminary resuscitation, midline laparotomy should be done observed by means of assessment of all areas of the gut with choices for resection of all surely necrotic areas. In instances of uncertainty, intraoperative Doppler can be beneficial.
