  • Title: [Small bowel obstruction secondary to incomplete torsion of proximal ileum following laparoscopic hysterectomy. Case report].
    Author: López Rangel JA, Audifred Salomón J, Ortiz Reyes H, Cervantes Mondragón PJ.

    Abstract:
    A minimally invasive approach for gynecologic procedures has become popular in recent years. Despite the advantages of this kind of surgery over open technique, laparoscopic hysterectomy is not free of complications. A case of small bowel obstruction secondary to incomplete torsion of proximal ileum ten days after an uneventful total laparoscopic hysterectomy is reported. Partial small bowel obstruction (PSBO) is a rare complication after gynecologic laparoscopy; its post-operatory incidence is 0.036% within a month after. A clean, adequate surgical technique, with minimal manipulation of internal organs, reduces the risk of adhesive process and PSBO.
