FEATURES OF MANAGEMENT TACTICS FOR A PATIENT WITH MULTIPLE UTERINE FIBROIDS AND INTESTINAL DIVERTICULOSIS

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to study the features of management tactics for a patient with multiple uterine fibroids and intestinal diverticulosis. When analyzing this clinical case, it was revealed that surgical intervention was indicated in this case. A complication, intraoperative injury to the ileum, occurred due to severe inflammation and adhesions of the abdominal cavity caused by diverticulosis of the large intestine. The presence of pronounced inflammatory changes in the ileum with the formation of diverticular disease, followed by the development of a massive adhesive process in the intestine, was not diagnosed before surgery. Late diagnosis may be due to the patient having a mild, asymptomatic clinical picture of the disease and the absence of pronounced clinical manifestations. The patient's nagging pain in the lower abdomen could be due to either the large size of uterine fibroids or be a manifestation of the clinical picture of diverticular disease. The ileal injury was detected in a timely manner, during a planned operation, and repaired in a timely manner. The management tactics in the postoperative period were correct; all diagnostic and therapeutic appointments were carried out in full, which allowed the woman to be discharged on the 14th day of the postoperative period in satisfactory condition. The patient was given recommendations in connection with the diagnosis of diverticular disease, aimed at preventing its progression and development of complications. It is necessary, if a patient has diverticulosis, even with minor manifestations and an asymptomatic course, to assume the possibility of developing pelvic adhesive disease and to prevent the development of possible complications.
