Septic Perforation Peritonitis

Peritonitis is inflammation of the peritoneum, the membrane lining the abdominal cavity. Septic peritonitis occurs when this inflammation is caused by a bacterial infection, often due to a perforation in the digestive tract, such as a ruptured appendix.

Small Bowel Perforation

A small bowel perforation is a hole or tear in the wall of the small intestine. It can be caused by various factors, including trauma, infections, or certain medical conditions, and often requires surgical intervention.

Acute Intestinal Obstruction

Acute intestinal obstruction refers to the sudden blockage of the intestinal lumen, which can occur due to various factors, including adhesions, hernias, tumors, or impacted feces. Treatment may involve surgery to relieve the obstruction.

Acute Mesenteric Ischemia (AMI)

Acute mesenteric ischemia is a condition in which blood flow to the intestines is severely reduced or blocked, often due to a blood clot. It is a medical emergency requiring immediate intervention, which may include surgery to restore blood flow.

Blunt & Penetrating Abdominal Trauma

Abdominal trauma can result from both blunt (non-penetrating) and penetrating injuries, such as from motor vehicle accidents, falls, or gunshot wounds. Evaluation and treatment may include surgery to repair damaged organs and tissues.

GI Bleeding

Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding refers to bleeding in the digestive tract, often caused by conditions like ulcers, diverticulosis, or vascular abnormalities. Treatment depends on the source and severity of the bleeding, which may include endoscopy, embolization, or surgery.
