Abstract

Complications after abdominal surgery are often seen in emergency departments. Many postoperative complications (e.g., infections, abscesses, hematomas, and active bleeding) are common to all types of surgery; others are specific to different types of surgery. Computed tomography (CT) is the technique normally used to diagnose postoperative complications.

This article reviews the changes that occur after some of the most common abdominal interventions that can be mistaken for pathological processes, the findings that can be considered normal after surgical intervention, and the most common early complications. It also describes the optimal protocols for CT studies depending on the different types of complications that are suspected.

Keywords:
Postoperative complications
Computed tomography
Abdominal cavity

Resumen

La complicación tras la cirugía abdominal es un hecho frecuente en los servicios de urgencias. Muchas complicaciones son comunes a todos los tipos de cirugía, incluyendo infecciones, abscesos, hematomas, sangrado activo, mientras que otras son específicas del tipo de cirugía realizada. La tomografía computarizada (TC) es la técnica de estudio normalmente empleada para su diagnóstico.

En este trabajo revisaremos los cambios que se producen en algunas de las intervenciones abdominales más frecuentemente realizadas y que pueden confundirse con procesos patológicos, los hallazgos que pueden considerarse normales tras la intervención quirúrgica y las complicaciones tempranas más frecuentes. También describiremos el protocolo óptimo de realización de la TC según el tipo de complicación que se sospeche.
