Small bowel ischaemia (operated) with incarcerated umbilical hernia
AI-generated summary
Malcolm Colin Vincent, a 57-year-old resident of supported accommodation, presented to hospital with acute abdominal pain and was found to have incarcerated umbilical hernia with small bowel ischaemia requiring emergency surgery. He died from multiple organ failure despite resection of four metres of ischaemic bowel. The coroner found no clinical issues with his hospital care. The case highlights the importance of early recognition of acute abdominal pain in vulnerable residents of care facilities and prompt emergency presentation. Timely surgical intervention occurred, but the extent of ischaemic damage was ultimately irreversible. For clinicians, this emphasises that acute abdominal pain in supported-living residents requires immediate medical evaluation regardless of their baseline functional status.
