Further examination revealed a rent, or tear, leading to a moderate accumulation of fluid within the abdomen, indicative of a potential bowel perforation. To address this issue, the affected segment of the bowel loop was resected, ensuring a 10-centimeter margin both proximally and distally to ensure removal of compromised tissue (Figure 2). Following the resection, the remaining healthy ends of the bowel were carefully joined together using a hand-sewn anastomosis technique, creating a new connection between the two segments of bowel aiming to restore bowel continuity and minimizing the risk of postoperative complications such as leakage or strictures (Figure 3).
