A simple technique for intraoperative decompression of obstructed bowel.

Ann R Coll Surg Engl 2013; 95: 437–447 BACKGROUND The gross dilatation encountered frequently during emergency surgery for bowel obstruction, especially when colonic, can present a hindrance to safe mobilisation and progression. We describe an established technique to effectively decompress gaseous distension. Although employed by many surgeons, this has not to our knowledge been reported in the English literature, warranting formal reiteration.
