Bowel surgery in pneumoperitoneum. Surgeons performing an endoscopy during exploratory laparotomy to examine the bowel of a patient with pneumoperitoneum - an abnormal accumulation of air or other gas in the peritoneal cavity. Laparotomy is a surgical procedure involving a large incision through the abdominal wall to gain access into the abdominal cavity. Here, they are also performing an endoscopy to look for a perforation in the stomach or duodenum that might be the cause of the patient's pneumoperitoneum.
