Comprehensive Surgical Approach To Acute Abdomen With Combined Pathologies: A Case Report From Paraguay
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Acute abdomen requires urgent intervention for potentially life-threatening conditions. We report the case of a 59-year-old male with acute abdominal pain and bloody stools treated at the Regional Hospital of Pilar, Paraguay. Exploratory laparotomy revealed intestinal ischemia with necrosis, congestive appendicitis, inguinal hernia, colocolic intussusception, and diverticulosis. A comprehensive surgical approach resulted in favorable postoperative recovery. This case highlights the critical role of timely diagnosis and multidisciplinary management in optimizing outcomes for complex acute abdomen presentations.
