Bowel and Bile Duct Injuries

Any time someone sustains an internal or external injury to their abdomen, they may also experience a bowel injury. These injuries can be painful and cause serious digestion complications including bloating, fever, and infection, as well as high levels of toxins and waste exposed in their body.

Most people will seek medical attention immediately for penetrating wounds or the pain that is commonly associated with blunt force trauma. If your doctor fails to properly diagnose or treat a bowel injury, you may face complications with bowel movements and stools as well as risk fluid or toxins building up in your system. It is imperative that your doctor check for any complications you may have if you have been injured in your abdomen so as not to overlook the possibility of a bowel injury.

Bile Duct Injuries

Most bile duct injuries occur from complications with laparoscopic cholecystectomy, or gallbladder surgery. In this operation, the gallbladder is removed through incisions in the abdomen that are usually made between the ribs and the hip. In the event that these incisions are made incorrectly or that there is a misdiagnosis of the case at hand, you may experience serious and painful bile duct injuries.
