inspiteofthefactthatJulesPéanofParishad performeda successful
splenectomy on a girl with a massive splenic cyst in 1867. Two
unsuccessful attempts to save life in splenic rupture were reported in
1892bySir Arbuthnot Lane of Guy’sHospital, London, and three more
fatal cases were recorded by Friedrich Trendelenburg in Leipzig the
followingyear.Thewordingofthesecasereportsstronglysuggeststhat

Intestinalobstruction
Not surprisingly, early attempts to deal with large bowel obstruction
(usuallydue to aleft-sidedcolonic cancer) comprisedperformance of a
colostomy.The firstattempt to dothis wasmadeby PilloreofRouen in
1776.Heactuallycarriedoutacecostomyonawinemerchantwithgross
abdominal distension due to a rectosigmoid growth. The operation
produced great relief, but the patient died on the 28th day because of
necrosis of a loop of jejunum, brought about by the large amounts of
mercurygiveninthepre-operativeattemptstoovercometheobstruction.
Itremained forPierreFine ofGeneva, in1797,to performa successful
transverse colostomy. The patient, a lady of 63 with an obstructing
sigmoidgrowth,died14weekslaterwithascites.
Not until the introduction of anesthesia and antisepsis could routine
resection of bowel cancers be performed, the first success in this era
being reported by Vincent Czerny in Heidelberg in 1879. It was soon
realizedthatresectionoftheobstructedcolonwasverylikelytoresultin
afatalanastomoticleak.Exteriorizationofthegrowth,withformationofa
double-barrelledcolostomyanditssubsequentclosurewasintroducedby

FrankThomasPaulofLiverpoolin1895,andbyJohannesvonMikuliczRadecki of Breslau a little later. This procedure, the Paul-Mikulicz
operation,was shownby thelatter toreduce mortalityinhis owncases
from 43% with primary resection to 12.5% with the exteriorization
method.
With its vivid clinical features of intestinal obstruction in a baby,
passage of redcurrant jelly stools, a palpable abdominal mass and
sometimes a prolapsing mass to be felt per rectum or even seen to
protrudethroughtheanalverge,itisnotsurprisingthatintussusceptionin
children was one of the earliest specific pathologies of the acute
abdomen to be recognized. Treatment was expectant, with the use of
enemas or rectal bougies, in attempts to reduce the mass. Surgeons
were encouraged to dothis by very occasional reports of success and
still rarer accounts of recovery following the passage of the sloughed
gangrenousbowelperrectum.Thefirstoperativesuccesswasreported
bySirJonathanHutchinson,oftheLondonHospital,in1871.Hispatient,
agirl aged 2,hadher intussusceptionreducedthrough a shortmid-line
incision, the operation requiring just a few minutes. Hutchinson’s
meticulousreporttabulated 131previously recordedcases,whichmake
sadreadingindeed.
Therewasadownsidetothisnewabdominalsurgery.Itwasnot long
after this new era commenced that the first reports appeared of small
bowel obstruction due to postoperative adhesions. Thomas Bryant of
Guy’s Hospital recorded the first example in 1872 — a fatal case
following an ovariotomy. A second fatality, 4 years after removal of an
ovarianmass,wasreportedin1883byWilliamBattleofLondon.Today,
postoperative adhesions and bands account forsome three-quartersof
allcasesofsmallbowelobstructionsintheWesternWorld.
Perforatedpepticulcer
Untreated, a perforated peptic ulcer nearly always results in fatal
peritonitis. Unsuccessful attempts at repair were made by MikuliczRadeckiin1884andbyCzernyin1885andsubsequentlybyanumberof
other surgeons. This depressing series came to an end under most
difficultcircumstances.In1892,LudwigHeusnerofWuppertal,Germany,

repairedaperforatedgastric ulcer high up on the lesser curve in a 41year-old businessman with a 16-hour history; the operation was
performedinthe middle of the night by candlelight! The convalescence

yearslater,ThomasMorse,inNorwich,publishedthesuccessfulrepairof

Rupturedectopicpregnancy
Until1883arupturedectopicpregnancywasadeathsentence.Thisis
surprisingbecause theearlypioneers ofabdominalsurgery, goingback
to pre-anesthetic era, were, in the main, concerned with removal of
ovarian masses. Indeed, the first elective abdominal operation for a
knownpathologywastheremovalofamassiveovariancystbyEphraim
McDowell in Danville, Kentucky, in 1809. Yet, for some inexplicable
reason,thesurgeonwouldstand helplesslybythebedsideandwatcha
young woman, in the most useful time of her existence, exsanguinate
fromherrupturedtube.Thefirstsurgeontoperformsuccessfulsurgeryin
this condition was Robert Lawson Tait, of Birmingham, whom we have
alreadymentionedperformingasuccessfulappendicectomyin1880.Tait
was asked to see a girl with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy by Dr.
Hallwright, a general practitioner. Hallwright suggested that Tait should
removetherupturedtube.Taitrecordedthefollowing:

Eighteenmonthslater,Taitoperatedonaclearlydyingpatient,thefirst
occasion in which such an operation was performed. The patient, in
those pre-transfusion days, died of exsanguination. Finally, in March

1888, Tait performed a successful salpingectomy on such a case, who

Eventoday,theacuteabdomenpresentsadiagnosticandtherapeutic

ancillary aids of radiology and other imaging, biochemical and
haematologicalstudiestohelpthediagnosisandbloodtransfusion,fluid

assistwiththerapy.

Simplystated,theterm‘acuteabdomen’referstoabdominalpain
of short duration that requires a decision regarding whether an
urgent intervention is necessary. This clinical problem is the most
common cause for you to be called upon to provide a surgical
consultation in the emergency room, and serves as a convenient
gateway for a discussion of the approach to abdominal surgical
emergencies.

Theproblem
Most major textbookscontain a long list of possible causes of acute
abdominalpain. These ‘biglists’usuallygo from perforatedpeptic ulcer
downtosuchesotericcausesasporphyriaandblackwidowspiderbites.
The lists are popular with medical students and residents in internal
medicine,butareuselessforpracticalguyslikeyou.
The experienced surgeon called upon to consult a patient with acute
abdominal pain in theemergency room(ER) in the middle ofthe night
simply doesn’t workthis way. Heor she doesn’tconsider the 50 or so
‘mostlikely’causesofacuteabdominal pain from the list, attemptingto
rule them out one by one. Instead, the intelligent surgeon tries to
identify a clinical pattern, and to decide upon a course of action
from a limited menu of management options. Below we will
demonstratehowthemultipleetiologiesforacuteabdominalpainactually
converge into a small number of easily recognizable clinical patterns.
Once recognized, each of these patterns dictates a specific course of
action.
