bowel injury

How is Bowel Injury Managed?

Management of bowel injury depends on the type and extent of the injury:
- Small, superficial injuries: May be managed with simple suturing.
- Larger or full-thickness injuries: May require resection and anastomosis or the creation of a temporary stoma.
Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are crucial to prevent complications such as sepsis or peritonitis. Postoperative care often includes antibiotics and close monitoring for signs of infection or other complications.
