Small Bowel Necrosis

Nutritional support is the key to the successful recovery of any patient. Small bowel necrosis is described in patients being fed with enteral nutrition after surgery. Five patients with small bowel necrosis after surgery will be discussed and an etiology proposed. A retrospective review of patient data was performed. Data was collected on the type of surgical procedures performed, the enteral nutrition given to the patient, basic laboratory data, the length of stay, and discharge status. A total of five patients’ charts were reviewed. Three patients had pancreaticoduodenectomy for a pancreatic mass and two required pyloric exclusion secondary to gunshot wounds. All five patients were fed with a fiber-based enteral nutrition. All patients subsequently had small bowel necrosis requiring reoperation. Four of the five patients had inspissated tube feeding within the necrotic small bowel. Two patients died and three survived with prolonged hospital courses. We propose that the combination of duodenal surgery and fiber-based enteral nutrition contribute to the development of small bowel necrosis postoperatively.

Background. Fetal volvulus is a rare, yet life-threatening condition that requires skilful diagnosis and management. Volvulus occurs when bowel loops become twisted and the twisting of the mesenteric artery leads to congestion, impaired venous return, and bowel necrosis. Case Description. We present a case of fetal ileal volvulus suspected on third trimester ultrasound, complicated by premature labour, small bowel necrosis, and meconium peritonitis. Progressive dilatation and decreased peristalsis of echogenic bowel were noted in the early part of the third trimester. Daily surveillance ultrasound was performed and spontaneous labour occurred at 32 weeks’ gestation. A proactive postnatal approach guided by prenatal sonographic findings allowed prompt treatment and an urgent laparotomy was performed for an ileal volvulus with necrosis and meconium peritonitis. A segment of small bowel volvulus was resected and an end-to-end anastomosis was performed with uneventful recovery. Discussion. Clinically signs of fetal midgut volvulus are not pathognomonic, such as intestinal dilatation, abdominal mass, ascites, peritoneal calcifications, or polyhydramnios; thus, the diagnosis is often challenging. Complications reported in the literature include perforation and haemorrhagic ascites, which may lead to anaemia, hypovolemia, heart failure, and fetal demise. Conclusion. This case highlights the importance of assessing the fetal bowel as a part of routine third trimester ultrasound. The case describes the complexity of diagnosis in the fetus, important considerations along with multidisciplinary team approach to management.
