About Small Bowel Perforation Repair

Small bowel perforation repair is a critical surgical procedure performed by a surgical gastroenterologist to address a hole or tear in the small intestine. This life-threatening condition allows intestinal contents to leak into the abdominal cavity, causing severe infection (peritonitis) and sepsis. The procedure typically involves an abdominal exploration to locate the perforation, followed by either primary suturing (sewing the hole closed) or resection (removing the damaged segment and reconnecting the healthy ends). The approach may be open (laparotomy) or minimally invasive (laparoscopy), depending on the patient's condition and the surgeon's expertise. Timely intervention is crucial to prevent widespread infection, manage contamination, and restore normal digestive function.

Key Highlights

Who is this surgery for?

  • Traumatic injury to the abdomen (e.g., from an accident).
  • Complications of untreated or severe bowel obstructions.
  • Perforation due to inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease.
  • Perforation from advanced intestinal cancers or tumors.
  • Complication of certain medical procedures like endoscopy or prior abdominal surgery.
  • Severe infections or conditions like typhoid fever affecting the bowel wall.
  • Ischemic bowel disease where blood supply is cut off, leading to tissue death and perforation.

How to prepare

  • Emergency stabilization with intravenous (IV) fluids and antibiotics.
  • Imaging tests like a CT scan of the abdomen to confirm the diagnosis and locate the perforation.
  • Insertion of a nasogastric (NG) tube to decompress the stomach.
  • Blood tests to assess infection and overall health status.
  • In non-emergency planned cases, bowel preparation (cleansing) may be advised.
  • Discussion of medical history, allergies, and current medications with the surgical team.
  • Informed consent process explaining the procedure, risks, and alternatives.

  • Leakage from the surgical repair site, requiring further intervention.
  • Damage to nearby organs or structures.
  • Reactions to anesthesia.
  • Development of an enterocutaneous fistula (an abnormal connection between the bowel and skin).
  • Risk of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis).

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial recovery in the hospital with pain management and IV antibiotics.
  • The nasogastric tube remains until bowel function (sounds and passing gas) returns.
  • Gradual advancement from IV fluids to clear liquids, then to a soft diet.
  • Early mobilization (walking) is encouraged to prevent complications.
  • Incision care instructions will be provided upon discharge.
  • Follow-up appointments to monitor healing and remove any staples or sutures.
  • Temporary activity restrictions, especially heavy lifting, for several weeks.
  • Nutritional guidance may be provided to support healing.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 7-14 days
