Small Bowel Resection Complications
Small Bowel Resection Complications
As with any procedure, it's possible for complications to happen, although this is uncommon. Possible complications associated with small bowel resection include:
- Bleeding in your intestines
- Frequent diarrhea
- Incision breaking open (dehiscence)
- Intestine pushing through the incision into your belly (incisional hernia)
- Pus collecting in the small bowel (this may require drainage)
- Scar tissue that forms an intestinal blockage (stricture)
- Short bowel syndrome
With expertise in every aspect of inflammatory bowel disease care, we deliver comprehensive care before, during and after your procedure to help you avoid complications.
