Mandatory resection of strangulation marks in small bowel obstruction
2014
Background
No evidence is available on how to treat intraoperatively detected band-shaped strangulation marks of the bowel wall originating from an adhesive band or hernia ring. The authors prefer to resect these hazardous strangulation marks to avoid secondary small bowel perforation. This retrospective study investigated the prevalence of intraoperatively unrecognized ulceration and transmural necrosis at the site of the strangulation marks.
