Intestinal Perforation Repair is a surgical procedure required when there is a hole or tear in the intestine, typically caused by trauma, ulcers, or infections. This condition can lead to peritonitis, a life-threatening infection of the abdominal cavity, requiring prompt surgical intervention.
The procedure involves locating the perforation, cleaning the abdominal cavity, and repairing the hole in the intestine. In some cases, a section of the intestine may need to be removed if it is too damaged.
Postoperative care focuses on managing pain, preventing infection, and supporting proper nutrition, as patients may initially be placed on a liquid diet or given nutrients intravenously.
Intestinal perforation repair is a critical surgery that prevents further complications and restores the digestive tract’s function, significantly improving the patient’s chances of recovery.
