Abstract

Objective

Acute intestinal ischemia (AII) is an uncommon surgical emergency that has been increasing in incidence and remains a highly lethal condition with a difficult diagnosis. We undertook this study to evaluate our experience in treating this condition with a view to expand the cumulative information in the literature.

Materials and methods

Between January 2000 and December 2006, 60 patients with AII caused by thrombotic vascular event underwent surgery at our surgical center. The patients’ medical records including data covering demographic features, comorbid medical conditions, medical risk factors, clinical symptoms, history and physical examination findings, and biochemical and radiologic examinations were reviewed. Operative records, the American Society of Anesthesiology physical status classification (ASA-PS), postoperative complications, duration of hospital stay, and final outcome were also considered.

Results

Of the 60 patients with primary thrombotic vascular event, 20 patients had embolism and 19 patients arterial thrombosis. In 21 patients, mesenteric venous thrombosis was the etiology of AII. The median age was 73 years (range, 43–96). Higher ASA classification, age >70 years, late presentation, and high serum lactate levels were predictors of adverse outcome. The overall death rate was 60% (36/60), which was within the range of that observed in the published series.

Conclusion

AII remains a highly lethal condition. Mortality rates remain as high as they did decades ago due in part to advanced presentation and advanced age with multiple associated conditions and risk factors, all of which are independent predictors of adverse outcome.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

CME: 2 Punkte

Prof. Dr. med. Gregor Antoniadis Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

CME: 2 Punkte

Dr. med. Benjamin Meyknecht, PD Dr. med. Oliver Pieske Das Webinar S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“ beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
