Abdominal pain from the surgeon's point of view

Publication at Second Faculty of Medicine |

Abstract

The surgeon must view any abdominal pain as a possible sudden abdominal event (NPB). For the sake of completeness, it is necessary to mention the group of innate NPBs, but they are somewhat out of line with today's topic.

It will be exceptional in later life. In addition to acute pain, the surgeon also assesses chronic or rather recurrent pain.

In addition to congenital events, abdominal events are divided into inflammatory, ileal and gastrointestinal bleeding. Accident NPBs are especially worthwhile.

Fever and leukocytosis are important symptoms in acute pain. When increasing them, we think of NPB inflammatory, in childhood most often appendicitis.
