Acute Intestinal Obstruction Surgery on Middle-aged Woman
The cecum is a pouch within the peritoneum that is considered to be the beginning of the large intestine. It is typically located on the right side of the body (the same side of the body as the appendix, to which it is joined). The word cecum (/ˈsiːkəm/, plural ceca /ˈsiːkə/) stems from the Latin caecus meaning blind. In this case an ulcer/tumor growth inside the pouch caused the intestinal obstruction. |

I'm only about half way through but I hope to hell I'm not hearing the patient in the background groaning as this is going on...... |

I heard the same thing!! Why is she groaning and making noises? One would hope she would be fully under anesthesia

She sounds like she’s vomiting while sedated

This condition being treated here is called intussuception. It's not a tumor or growth---rather, it's basically the bowel telescopes into itself. It hurts bad and it can kill the patient if it's not discovered and repaired in time. |

Re: Acute Intestinal Obstruction Surgery on Middle-aged Woman
So are they removing part of the bowel? Do you think she is only getting localized anesthesia? It looked like they finally cut her open to relieve some of the pressure, Isn't that an absolute no-no with bowel surgery? Im asking bc it seems like you know something about something....
