Postoperative abdominal bleeding

Abstract: Postoperative bleeding following abdominal surgery is relatively rare and mainly depends on the type of surgery. Although bleeding is usually controlled by simple local treatment of symptoms, specific treatment including surgery or interventional radiology is sometimes necessary. This article reviews the clinical features that must be recognized depending on the type of surgery and especially focuses on the role of the radiologist in the management of this complication.

“…Most major postoperative bleeding is due to surgical complications, which are presumably not influenced by fluids selection. 23 Furthermore, perioperative coagulopathy is mostly dilutional, irrespective of the fluid given. 24 Finally, patients with major blood loss are almost always given colloids, which themselves cause coagulopathy.…”

“…Gastric juice and bile intestinal contents can be seen in abdominal drainage and this confirms the diagnosis combined with digestive tract iodine angiography [18,19]. Abdominal hemorrhage was defined when the progressive decrease of hemoglobin was more than 20 g/L in line with abdominal CT or color Doppler ultrasound [20]. Pulmonary infection was diagnosed when the body temperature > 37.5°C, white blood cell count >10 × 10 10 /L, and percentage of neutrophils >90% combined with chest X-ray or CT [21].…”

“…Both CT and ultrasonography were determined as effective imaging methods in the diagnosis of hematoma (7). Although USG is inadequate in the diagnosis of the hematoma resulting from bleeding in solid organs, it is an effective method to diagnose hematoma caused by intra-abdominal bleeding (8). USG appears to be a frequently preferred method for the diagnosis of postoperative hematoma as it is an accessible, non-invasive and accurate diagnostic tool.…”
