Stoma occlusion caused by abdominal cocoon after abdominal abscess surgery: A case report

Figure 1 Computed tomography image of the abdominal cavity after an abdominal cocoon leading to stoma occlusion. A and B: There was fluid accumulation and dilation caused by gas accumulation and obstruction in the intestinal lumen. There was multiple air-liquid levels in different planes.

Figure 2 Stoma occlusion and adhesion of the intestine caused by abdominal cocoons. A: Arrows indicate covered pus; B: The arrow indicates the blind end of the proximal small bowel occlusion.

Figure 3 Fibrous membranes on the surface of the intestinal canal observed during abdominal cocoon surgery. A: All organs in the abdominal cavity were covered with dense fibrous tissue of varying thickness (up to 2.0 cm), with thicker pelvic and lateral abdominal walls; B: After the cocoon-like membrane-like material was removed, the underlying intestinal tissue boundaries were clearer, and the adhesion between the intestinal tubes was not dense.
