hollow viscus perforation (What are the hollow viscus organs?
Hollow organs are visceral organs that are hollow tubes or pouches (such as the intestine or the stomach, respectively) or that include a cavity (such as the heart) and which subserve a vital function.: Perforated hollow viscus is characterized by loss of gastrointestinal wall integrity with subsequent leakage of enteric contents. Direct trauma or tissue ischemia and necrosis lead to full-thickness disruption of the gastrointestinal wall and perforation. Andy) |
