A device and technique for gastrointestinal lavage in the horse.
Beroza GA.
A device and technique for intra-operative gastro-intestinal lavage was developed to remove ingesta from the stomach, large intestine and caecum of horses. The Gastro-Intestinal Lavage System (GILS) is composed of a nozzle connected to both water under pressure and suction. Water jets across an intake portal in the nozzle, breaks up food and debris within the nozzle and is evacuated under negative pressure into the aspirating tube which is connected to a collection drum. The GILS nozzle was introduced at the pelvic flexure through a sterile enterotomy cuff and plastic sleeve. Water was first added through the GILS nozzle to mix intestinal ingesta to form a slurry and then the effluent was evacuated into the storage container by engaging the vacuum. Comparisons of this technique were made with the standard garden hose lavage technique. The GILS enables removal of 8.1 kg of large intestinal ingesta in less than 20 mins. Cleansing of the large bowel with the GILS was rapid, complete and a contamination free procedure which should prove applicable and beneficial for surgical treatment of small colonic, caecal, rectal and gastric impactions as well as sand colic and colonic torsions.

BACKGROUND: Staged resection of the sigmoid colon has been the traditional strategy for treating patients who require nonelective surgery to manage complications of diverticular disease. Resection and primary anastomosis has not generally been recommended when the clinical setting is compromised by contiguous inflammation or inadequate mechanical cleansing of the colon because of concerns regarding the potential risk of anastomotic dehiscence. Although many reports have confirmed that intraoperative colonic lavage (ICL) is a safe method for relieving fecal loading of the colon to facilitate primary intestinal anastomosis in patients with mechanical obstruction of the distal colon, there is very limited experience with the use of this technique in treating acute inflammatory disorders of the colon. In this report, we present our results with ICL in the nonelective treatment of patients with complications of diverticulitis. METHODS: Records of all patients undergoing urgent operations at the Lahey Clinic to treat complications of diverticular disease from July 1987 to January 1996 were reviewed. RESULTS: Of 62 patients who required nonelective operations, 33 underwent ICL in an attempt to perform primary anastomosis. In five patients, the operation included creation of a colostomy. The indication for surgery was obstruction in 13 patients (39 percent), persistent abscess or phlegmon in 13 (39 percent), perforation in 6 patients (18 percent), and hemorrhage in 1 patient (3 percent). According to Hinchey's classification system, 18 patients had Stage I disease, 10 had Stage II, and 5 patients had Stage III disease. There were no patients with Stage IV disease. The single anastomotic complication in the series was responsi

Bullets and their role in sepsis after colon wounds.

The objective of this study was to determine the relation between the presence of a bullet (gunshot) after injury to the colon and the incidence of sepsis in its track and the soft tissue where it is retained. A retrospective review was carried out of the charts of consecutive patients admitted for abdominal gunshot wounds with proved colon injury during laparotomy where the bullet was either retained in the soft tissue or exited the body. The review covered a period of 4 years beginning January 1, 1990. Three groups were identified for analysis: (1) patients from whom the bullet was surgically removed, with additional cleansing and debridement of the area (n = 21); (2) patients who did not undergo surgical removal of the bullet (n = 81); and (3) patients in whom the bullet exited spontaneously and in whom only debridement of the skin was carried out (n = 83). Similar risk factors were noted among the groups (age, ATI score, colostomy rate), except for a higher incidence of shock in group 3 (p = 0.003). The incidence of sepsis in soft tissue was least in group 1. It was five and seven times greater in groups 2 and 3, respectively. After an abdominal gunshot with colon injury, the missile should be removed if feasible and the local tissue debrided. If the bullet has exited spontaneously, its internal track must be debrided and lavaged extensively.
