[Two cases of perforation of the cecum following caesarean section (author's transl)]. 1980

G Wesch, and G Ehrlich, and L W Storz, and W Wiest

Two cases of perforation of the cecum following caesarean section are reviewed. Peritonitis, septic shock, and post-operative ileus are the most important causes of this life threatening complication. In addition, the operative technique is very important. The clinical signs are at first non-specific but the further course increases the likelyhood of the differential diagnosis of perforation of the Cecum. In the management, an early repeat laparotomy is important. The perforation is oversewn. Because of the possible renal and pulmonary complications post-operative intensive care is indicated.
