“…The term “intestinal pseudo-obstruction” was first proposed by Dudley in 1958[ 11 ], with “ACPO” not appearing for another twenty years[ 4 ]. Use of “Ogilvie’s syndrome” has been discouraged due to ambiguity regarding its meaning[ 12 ], though considerable heterogeneity in terminology still exists in recent literature[ 3 , 13 , 14 ].…”

“…Vanek et al[ 2 ] reported 400 cases of ACPO, with approximately 50% resulting from acute medical illness and 50% from post-surgical patients. Incidence rates have been described in spinal or orthopaedic surgery (1%-2%)[ 13 , 20 ], cardiac bypass (up to 5%)[ 21 ], and following burn injuries (0.3%)[ 22 ]. An abundance of other conditions associated with ACPO were found to have been reported in the literature, the most common of which are summarised (Table 2 ).…”

AIMTo critically review the literature addressing the definition, epidemiology, aetiology and pathophysiology of acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO).METHODSA systematic search was performed to identify articles investigating the aetiology and pathophysiology of ACPO. A narrative synthesis of the evidence was undertaken.RESULTSNo consistent approach to the definition or reporting of ACPO has been developed, which has led to overlapping investigation with other conditions. A vast array of risk factors has been identified, supporting a multifactorial aetiology. The pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear, but are likely related to altered autonomic regulation of colonic motility, in the setting of other predisposing factors.CONCLUSIONFuture research should aim to establish a clear and consistent definition of ACPO, and elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to altered colonic function. An improved understanding of the aetiology of ACPO may facilitate the development of targeted strategies for its prevention and treatment.

“…In the field of orthopedics, Ogilvie's syndrome has been diagnosed after elective total hip arthroplasty (THA), hip fracture, elective knee arthroplasty, and spinal surgery [5,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. In the cases of THA, surgery was complicated by OS in 0.29 to 1.6% of cases [12,14,16,18,20].…”

Ogilvie’s syndrome refers to a massive dilation of the colon without mechanical obstruction. Although this syndrome is well-known in the clinical literature and may sometimes be encountered as a complication of abdominal, pelvic, or hip surgery, it has only been reported sporadically in the forensic literature. We present the case of a forensic autopsy carried out on a patient whose death was related to cecal necrosis with acute peritonitis due to Ogilvie’s syndrome following hip surgery. This diagnosis was based on clinical data, post-mortem imagery, autopsy findings, histological analysis, post-mortem chemistry, and microbiological analysis. A review of the literature and possible physiopathology of this disease are performed, while focusing on medico-legal perspectives.

Objective Worldwide, older people are suffering from lumbar degenerative disease at an annual rate of 266 million. Although spine surgeries restore mobility, reduce pain and resolve neurological damage, these procedures can place older persons at high‐risk for medical complications due to multiple comorbid conditions that are often present in this population. However, the prevalence of complications occurring in older people prior to discharge is unknown. Postoperative medical complications lead to increased healthcare costs as well as pain and potential harm for the patient. Hence, this scoping review aimed to provide an overview of the current knowledge state regarding in‐hospital medical postoperative complications in older people (≥65 years) after elective spine surgery. Method A scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O’Malley's framework. Four databases (PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus and CINAHL) were systematically searched. Inclusion criteria were medical complication(s) after elective spine surgery prior to discharge, age ≥65 years and English language. Co‐occurrence analysis was used to examine how often each complication was examined in the literature and how often the complications co‐occur. Results Twenty‐six studies met inclusion criteria. The most frequently examined postoperative medical complications after spine surgery are delirium and urinary tract infection, followed by gastrointestinal and pulmonary embolus. Despite the list of in‐hospital medical complications, definitions or criteria for measurement of any identified complication were sparse and inconsistent. There is a lack of definition or instruments to comprehensively assess medical complications incurred by older people following spine surgery, including characteristics, classification methodology and temporality. To date, no research has been conducted on how older people experience or perceive a medical complication after elective spine surgery. Conclusion The findings highlight the importance to develop comprehensive instruments to assess co‐occurrence of postoperative medical complications and design interventions to mitigate the negative impacts of medical complications incurred by older people after spine surgery.
