IntroductionIntroduction In 2008/2009 1.3 million bowel procedures were
performed in the UK The colon is the structure most commonly
operated on The median length of stay for upper GI
procedures is 5 days The median length of stay for lower GI
procedures is 3 days Most emergency surgery results from pathology
of the duodenum (76%) and appendix (97%)http://www.hesonline.nhs.uk

Bowel AnatomyBowel Anatomy
Small IntestineSmall Intestine 3-7m long, 2.5-3 cm in diameter, 200m² surface
area Comprises of three structures: Duodenum,
Jejunum, Ileum Food passes into the small bowel from the
stomach via the phylorus Food is propelled through the small bowel by
wave-like muscular contractions - peristalsis Vast majority of digestion and absorption takes
place in the small bowel

Large IntestineLarge Intestine 1.5m in length Receives faecal mater as liquid from the small
intestine Comprised of caecum, ascending colon,
transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum
Responsible for reclaiming water, absorbing vitamins, combining indigestible matter with mucus and bacteria to make faeces

Case Study – Mrs PCase Study – Mrs P 07.04.10 - 57 yr old lady admitted to hospital with
diarrhoea, vomiting and abdominal pain
PMH – Total abdominal hysterectomy, appendectomy, multiple operations for adhesions, small bowel resection
Multiple investigations – USS, AXR, FBCIdentified multiple adhesions of the small
bowel, bladder and pelvis

Case Study – Mrs PCase Study – Mrs P Laparotomy – Adhesiolysis, small bowel
resection
Post-op complications – Anastomosis leak/breakdown, fluid collection in peritoneal cavity and gross faecal contamination
Returned to theatre – end ileostomy and mucus fistula

Case Study – Mrs PCase Study – Mrs P 4 months later – Excision of non-viable terminal
ileum, blind-loop caecum and ascending colon. Creation of hand-sewn anastomosis between ilium and mid transverse colon
Post-op complications – faecal contents passed out through wound (enterocutaneous fistula)
Pt now recovering well and has been eating and drinking for the first time in months

Evidence-Based PracticeEvidence-Based Practice
Pasquina et al (2006) – No evidence to support prophylactic respiratory physiotherapy post-op
Mackay et al (2005) – Investigated addition of DBE’s to early mobilization program – No significant difference between groups
Dureuil et al (1987) - Impairment of vital capacity and diaphragmatic index 1 week post-surgery upper abdominal surgery

ConclusionConclusion
Awareness of bowel anatomy very important!!
Many conditions require bowel surgeryBowel surgery is not always curative and
often people have multiple surgeriesEBP - Lots of support for early
mobilization however currently paucity of evidence supporting prophylactic chest PT
