O uso do pneumoperitônio progressivo no pré-operatório das hérnias volumosas da parede abdominal

Abstract: RESUMO -Contexto -A correção das hérnias volumosas e dos grandes defeitos da parede abdominal constitui grande desafio da prática cirúrgica, em virtude das dificuldades técnicas e do alto índice de complicações respiratórias e cardiovasculares. Objetivos -Apresentar experiência com a indução do pneumoperitônio progressivo no pré-operatório do tratamento cirúrgico das hérnias volumosas da parede abdominal. INTRODUÇÃOA correção das hérnias volumosas e dos grandes defeitos da parede abdominal constitui grande de… Show more

“…For more than 60 years, 8 PPP was applied to progressively increase the capacity of the abdominal cavity, improve diaphragmatic function, 7 perform pneumatic lysis of intestinal adhesion, locate other hernias and reduce turgidity and volume of hollow organs. 1,2,[9][10][11][12][13] In the reported case, the pneumoperitoneum facilitated adhesiolysis, reduction of the hernia content and closure of the defect.…”

“…14 Many complications can be prevented with simple measures such as inducing the PPP in the surgical ward, using a needle with a protection device, administering prophylactic heparin, and monitoring the patient's vital signs and intra-abdominal pressure closely. 1,11,14 Other possible complication is the pneumomediastinum, in which air can dissipate through the diaphragm. Hamer and Duthie 15 described a series of ten patients treated with PPP, among which one of them developed pneumomediastinum, being this the only report of such outcome.…”
