 | Percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy for a patient with an intractable small bowel injury after... |  Figure 6: Abdominal radiograph taken 28 days after gastrojejunostomy tube insertion. Contrast medium administered via the tube reached the transverse colon. No obstruction or leakage was found. Intestinal distention was improved at this time.Bottom Line: Surgical treatment for patients with severe adhesions sometimes results in further intestinal injury.After this operation, she developed peritonitis as a result of a small bowel perforation thought to be due to an injury sustained during the operation, with... | Hara M, Takayama S, Takeyama H - J Med Case Reports (2011) |
