[A prospective study for evaluating postoperative risk and long-term prognosis of mesenteric infarct].
In a prospective study on the patient material of the Surgical Clinic of the Johannes-Gutenberg-University Mainz the prognostically relevant factors in acute mesenteric vascular occlusion were investigated. From September 1, 1985 until August, 31, 1989 46 patients (24 men, 22 women) with an average age of 67.2 years were treated for an acute mesenteric vascular occlusion. Postoperatively 56.5% of the patients died. The postoperative lethality was correlated statistically significant to the period of anamnesis, the aetiology of the occlusion, the patient's age, the preoperative ASA score, and the length of the ischemically damaged bowel. The postoperative blood lactat level correlated with the outcome. Only two patients survived a second operation with a further bowel resection. One of these patients had a normal blood lactat level. The two year survival rate of the postoperative surviving patient's totalled at 70%. These results confirm the known prognostically relevant factors as well as the value of the blood lactat level in the postoperative period. They show as well, that an early second look operation depending on the intraoperative findings of the primarily operation and prior to an increase of the blood lactat level and prior to a deterioration in the patients condition is justified.
