title: [Bedside laparoscopy (BSL) for postoperative follow-up of mesenteric infarct and diffuse peritonitis].
abstract: Bedside laparoscopy (BSL) for postoperative follow-up in mesenterial infarction of the intensive care patient undergoing respiration treatment represents an important tool for avoiding second-look operations and/or for precisely securing the indication for a relaparotomy. Up until now, nine patients with mesenterial infarction have undergone a BSL, allowing five of then to avoid a second-look operation in this way. Of these nine patients, three died due to a diffuse peritonitis with anastomotic dehiscence, a pulmonary embolism, and a perforation of the stomach after PEG tube deplacement, respectively. Thus BSL represents a low-complication and simply performed method for postoperative follow-up, especially in mesenterial infarction, but also in cases of diffuse peritonitis.
