[Gastrointestinal complications of acute pancreatitis (author's transl)]. 1978

M Neher, and F Kümmerle

Gastrointestinal complications, such as ileus, bleeding, stenosis and fistula formation, were retrospectively analysed on 180 patients with acute pancreatitis. Paralytic ileus occurred in only a quarter of patients with acute oedematous pancreatitis and only one had bleeding from a gastric ulcer. Complications occurred in the early but also postacute stage in patients with the haemorrhagic-necrotizing form. Even with early and delayed operation and adequate treatment of most complications, renewed gastrointestinal complications were not uncommon and required re-operations.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007412	Intestinal Fistula	An abnormal anatomical passage between the INTESTINE, and another segment of the intestine or other organs. External intestinal fistula is connected to the SKIN (enterocutaneous fistula). Internal intestinal fistula can be connected to a number of organs, such as STOMACH (gastrocolic fistula), the BILIARY TRACT (cholecystoduodenal fistula), or the URINARY BLADDER of the URINARY TRACT (colovesical fistula). Risk factors include inflammatory processes, cancer, radiation treatment, and surgical misadventures (MEDICAL ERRORS).

D007415	Intestinal Obstruction	Any impairment, arrest, or reversal of the normal flow of INTESTINAL CONTENTS toward the ANAL CANAL.	Intestinal Obstructions,Obstruction, Intestinal
D007418	Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction	A type of ILEUS, a functional not mechanical obstruction of the INTESTINES. This syndrome is caused by a large number of disorders involving the smooth muscles (MUSCLE, SMOOTH) or the NERVOUS SYSTEM.

D010195	Pancreatitis	INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.
