Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: The incidence of acute mesenteric ischemia is more common and most of the time require surgical management. This study is conducted in order to know the prevalence, their surgical management, post–operative complications, morbidity and mortality they cause to the patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A total of 11 patients diagnosed with acute mesenteric ischemia who underwent surgery are included in the study from january 2018 to December 2018 in a single unit in department of general surgery in government Stanley medical college and hospital. Their clinical scenario and appropriate management were analysed. RESULTS: All patients in study who underwent surgery, had bowel gangrene and they underwent bowel resection, followed by ostomy. All patients (100%) underwent some sort of post operative complications and their morbidity is very high and mean duration of hospital stay is prolonged approximately one month (nearly 100%, except those who died in post op period). The mortality rate is about 37% (n=4 out of 11) which is significant. CONCLUSION: Acute mesenteric ischemia carry significant amount of morbidity and mortality to patients and should be treated efficiently to prevent many complications.
