Iatrogenic bowel injury (early vs delayed)

Abstract

Iatrogenic bowel injury is a challenging issue that will be encountered by most general and colon and rectal surgeons. The timing of diagnosis of iatrogenic bowel injury (early vs delayed) will affect the management options and patient outcomes. In this chapter, we will review the risk factors for iatrogenic bowel injury and various causes of iatrogenic bowel injury. The diagnosis of bowel injury, workup and management will also be addressed.
