Needs cleanup

From the history this page has been extensively vandalised, and not always fixed correctly. Rich Farmbrough, 02:27, 26 September 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Ruptured bowel?

@Doc James: It seems kind of odd to list this term as an exact synonym of "gastrointestinal perforation". I mean, I realize that the bowel (i.e., "the lower part of the GI tract" past the stomach) is part of the GI tract, but the GI tract is a broader term that encompasses more anatomy than just the bowel. I think that synonym should either be deleted or clarification added so as to indicate that it's synonymous with a perforation in the lower GI tract.

Uses bowel for all parts of the GI track not just the intestines. Have put the source beside the term in quetsion Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:42, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. That seems really strange to me. Do/Would you or any of your colleagues ever refer to the mouth as the bowel? Not saying it's wrong; it just seems very bizarre to me to see that word being used to refer to the upper GI tract. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 05:55, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm a fourth year medical student in the US. I plan to expand and improve upon this article over the next four weeks as part of a WikiProject Medicine course. My plans are to:

Edit the article for organization, content, and clarity with reduction of medical jargon
Review references and add or update citations in the following sections: Signs and symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment
Expand the Signs and Symptoms section and add a Complications subsection
Update the Causes section to include four main mechanisms of injury with examples. Include risk factors in this section.
Expand the Diagnosis section to further describe imaging findings and include differential diagnoses
Add Outcomes section

Noted the chronic opioid use section removed - no dialog.

The chronic use of opioids is common - it was cited and was removed without meaningful explanation - please replace this - talked with the editor - no response. BeingObjective (talk) 14:19, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, I had missed your recent edit when I made my changes. Added back! Jpola3399 (talk) 14:28, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks - really appreciated. BeingObjective (talk) 14:31, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mechanisms of injury

This needs to be reverted - as written, this article includes disease states as trauma - the prior version was far better. BeingObjective (talk) 14:25, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
