The utility of a CT grading scale in deciding on surgical intervention for patients with suspected small bowel obstruction
Background
A grading system was developed for computerized tomography (CT) scans evaluating patients with suspected small bowel obstruction (SBO). We hypothesized that patients with a higher grade of suspected SBO on CT scan would be more likely to require surgical intervention.
Methods
Retrospective chart review of patients who presented to the Emergency Room (ER) who had a CT of the abdomen and pelvis for suspected SBO. Patients were divided into 5 groups: Grade 1 (SBO unlikely), Grade 2 (probable partial or early SBO), Grade 3 (probable high grade SBO), Grade 4 (SBO with changes concerning for ischemia) and Not Graded.
Results
The CT scans of 655 patients were graded. Of the 22 patients with a grade 1 SBO, only 1 went for surgery (4.5 %). For grade 2 patients, 23 out of 299 had an operation (7.7 %), for grade 3 it was 84 out of 299 (28.1 %) and for grade 4 SBO, 25 out of 35 patients (71.4 %) had surgery. The p value is <0.00001. The three most common intraoperative findings were SBO obstruction from adhesions alone (48 % of cases), followed by incarcerated hernias (12 %) and ischemic bowel (9 %). Only 8 cases out of 133 operations (6 % of total) had no findings at time of surgery other than dilated bowel.
Conclusions
The CT grading scale for SBO developed at our institution shows excellent correlation between grade and going for surgery, with few negative results, and can be a useful tool among other factors for general surgeons when deciding whether or not to operate on a patient with suspected SBO.
