Application of a novel small intestine decompression method in patients with intestinal obstruction: A retrospective cohort study

Figure 2 Small intestine incision decompression method. A: The small intestine was pulled out of the incision using silk thread. The gauze was placed underneath, and the intestinal tract was cut open; B: The intestinal tube was squeezed segment by segment in the direction of intestinal peristalsis with the index and middle fingers, and the intestinal contents were discharged into the container; C: The intestinal contents were collected in a storage bag and transferred into a measurable container, after which the degree of pressure reduction was calculated.
