Vomiting has been associated with major complications, such as pulmonary aspiration of gastric content, and might endanger surgical outcomes after certain procedures, for example after maxillofacial surgery with wired jaws. Nausea and vomiting can delay discharge, and about 1% of patients scheduled for day surgery require unanticipated ...
Postcholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) describes the presence of abdominal symptoms after a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal). Symptoms occur in about 5 to 40 percent of patients who undergo cholecystectomy, [1] and can be transient, persistent or lifelong. [2] [3] The chronic condition is diagnosed in approximately 10% of postcholecystectomy ...
The fundoplication can also come undone over time in about 5–10% of cases, leading to recurrence of symptoms. If the symptoms warrant a repeat surgery, the surgeon may use Marlex or another form of artificial mesh to strengthen the connection. [15] Postoperative ileus, which is common after abdominal surgery, is possible.
Nonbilious vomiting, nausea, and abrupt onset stomach pain in the right upper quadrant are common symptoms in patients with acute afferent loop syndrome. Abdominal distension and postprandial epigastric discomfort lasting anywhere from a few minutes to an hour are common symptoms experienced by patients with chronic afferent loop syndrome.
A single dose of the corticosteroid drug dexamethasone may be given during surgery to prevent post-operative vomiting. [48] A dose of dexamethasone during surgery prevents vomiting in one out of every five children. A dose of dexamethasone may help children return to a normal diet more quickly and have less post-operative pain. [48]
Some vomiting may be expected during the first days after surgery as the gastrointestinal tract settles. Rarely, the myotomy procedure performed is incomplete and projectile vomiting continues, requiring repeat surgery. Pyloric stenosis generally has no long term side-effects or impact on the child's future. [citation needed]
OPSI may initially present with mild viral symptoms such as fever or coughing, however later in infection symptoms may include shakes, shivers, chills, diarrhea, vomiting, malaise, myalgia, headache and abdominal pain. [2] [4]
The trials counted the number of subjects who had no vomiting and did not use additional medications for nausea or vomiting in the first day (24 hours) after the surgery. [51] The results then compared amisulpride to placebo. [51] The other two trials (Trials 3 and 4) enrolled subjects who were experiencing nausea and vomiting after surgery. [51]
