Bowel surgery in pneumoperitoneum. Surgeons performing an 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 examining the small intestine to find the site of a perforation that they think is the cause of the pneumoperitoneum.
