Enterotomy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Template:Short description Enterotomy is the surgical incision into an intestine. It may be purposeful or a complication of an abdominal surgery, such as exploratory laparotomies or hernia repair.[citation needed]
An enterotomy can be done to remove an obstruction or foreign body from the intestine.[1]
If an accidental enterotomy is not noticed during surgery, it can take days to become apparent. Surgical repair is required.[2]
