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).
