Doctors from the Khabarovsk Regional Hospital saved a patient with a severe stomach ulcer.
A sixty-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital with a suspected stroke. After a computed tomography scan, it turned out that the man's cerebral circulation was normal. However, a CT scan revealed gas and fluid in his abdominal organs that should not normally be there.
The diagnosis is a perforated gastric ulcer complicated by peritonitis. With such an ulcer, holes are formed in the wall of the organ through which the contents enter the abdominal cavity. The doctors decided to operate on the patient urgently.
The surgeons sutured the ulcer and removed all the excess fluid. After a complex operation, the man was in intensive care. On the third day, a thrombus developed in his leg. Unfortunately, the limb had to be amputated at hip level.
After that, the patient's condition stabilized, and the abdominal wall wounds healed completely. After treatment, the man was released to the Vyazemsky district hospital for further rehabilitation.
