The term “bowel ischemia” encompasses a wide range of diseases, ranging from self-limiting conditions, usually responding to conservative treatment, to surgical emergencies, associated with high mortality rates. In acute setting, according to anatomy, different pathogenesis, and clinical evolution, we can classify them in two main categories: acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) and colon ischemia (CI), also named ischemic colitis (IC). Bowel ischemia may also be secondary to other pathologies, such as strangulated hernia and intestinal occlusion, but, in these cases, it should be regarded as a complication of the related disease and falls outside the scope of the present chapter.

Abstract

The term “bowel ischemia” encompasses a wide range of diseases, ranging from self-limiting conditions, usually responding to conservative treatment, to surgical emergencies, associated with high mortality rates. In acute setting, according to anatomy, different pathogenesis, and clinical evolution, we can classify them in two main categories: acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) and colon ischemia (CI), also named ischemic colitis (IC). Bowel ischemia may also be secondary to other pathologies, such as strangulated hernia and intestinal occlusion, but, in these cases, it should be regarded as a complication of the related disease and falls outside the scope of the present chapter.
