When a part of the colon is removed and there is no gas after the operation, it may be a physiological phenomenon caused by the still relatively short period of time after the operation, or it may be caused by intestinal adhesions, or it may be caused by peritonitis. Different causes, different treatment methods.
1. Physiological factors: after colon resection, if the time is still relatively short, the intestinal function has not yet recovered, there will be a temporary intestinal paralysis, which may lead to postoperative gas, usually within 3 days after the operation, gas is a normal phenomenon. If there is no gas after 72 hours after surgery, you need to ask your doctor to deal with it.
2. Intestinal adhesion: after colon resection, if there is intestinal adhesion, which affects the movement of the intestines, it may also lead to the symptoms of non-exhaustion after the operation, and you need to consider whether there is intestinal obstruction. In this case, it is necessary to consider whether the intestinal obstruction has occurred. At this time, it is possible to need gastrointestinal decompression, surgery and other methods of treatment.
3. Peritonitis: after colon resection, if peritonitis occurs, it can also lead to intestinal paralysis, which in turn will lead to the symptoms of postoperative non-exhaustion, this situation may require intravenous ceftriaxone sodium, levofloxacin and other antibiotics, and if an anastomotic fistula occurs, it may require reoperation.
After excluding physiological factors, if the symptoms of post-colectomy non-exsuffocation continue to be unrelieved, one should consult a physician and follow the doctor’s instructions.
