Diverticular disease of intestine - what does this mean
What happens during the disease - diverticular disease of intestine
Когда в рационе мало растительной клетчатки, в кишечнике нарушается пассаж каловых масс и возникают запоры. Давление в просвете кишки повышается и выдавливает слабые участки стенки наружу в виде дивертикулов.
У образовавшихся дивертикулов нет мышечного слоя, они не могут сокращаться. Поэтому попавшие каловые массы и остатки пищи задерживаются внутри дивертикула.
Со временем каловые массы твердеют и превращаются в каловый камень — копролит, или фекалит. Этот камень давит на стенку дивертикула, тем самым нарушая её кровоснабжение. В итоге развивается воспаление — острый дивертикулит.
Развитие воспаления иногда связано с особенностями кишечной флоры. Нередко у пациентов с дивертикулярной болезнью наблюдается рост протеолитических бактерий.
При продолжающемся воспалении в стенке дивертикула возникает микроперфорация. Через это отверстие бактерии распространяются и поражают ткани, окружающие кишку — развивается так называемый острый околокишечный инфильтрат. При этом другие органы (тонкая кишка, придатки матки, мочевой пузырь) фактически "приклеиваются" к инфильтрату, образуя плотную трудноразделимую массу.
При серьёзном повреждении стенки дивертикула развивается макроперфорация. Она способствует образованию более тяжёлых осложнений — абсцесса и перитонита.
Кишечное кровотечение при дивертикулёзе вызывают скопившиеся каловые камни. Копролиты сдавливают стенку дивертикула, запуская процесс её разрушения и повреждая мелкие сосуды, расположенные рядом.
