Article Synopsis
- Abdominal cocoon is a rare condition that can lead to serious complications like intestinal rupture and fistulas, as seen in a 51-year-old man who experienced abdominal injuries from a traffic accident.
- The surgery revealed that his small intestine was encased in dense fibrous tissue, leading to complications that required intensive postoperative care, including ventilator support and drainage management.
- Despite the challenges of a delayed intestinal fistula occurring 10 days after surgery, comprehensive nursing strategies and treatments led to the successful healing of the incision, allowing the patient to eventually recover and reverse the stoma after 5 months.
