Any help on this is great! Thank you in advance
The doc says this:
I had a choice of either taking a piece of colon to leave the bowel intact or taking a piece of small bowel and leaving the colong intact, and I chose the small intestine to sacrifice. For this reason, scissors were used to cut the bowel free creating an enterotomy which was closed with a GIA stapler with side-to-side anastomosis closed with a T-A. The entire staple line was oversewn with silk and other adhesions were nowhere as dense and thick as the chronic scar changes in the pelvis adjacent to the colon. These other fine adhesions were easily lysed freeing the entire small bowel. The site of the obstruction was quite obvious as the bowel was very decompressed distal to the sigmoid colon and small intestine contact area. Retention sutures of #2 nylon were placed and the fascia was closed with Monocryl.
I'm really not sure which direction to go on this one. I feel like it's a little vague, but maybe one of you coding whiz's out there can help me! Thank you!
