Overview
Strongyloidiasis is usually managed with medical therapy, but surgery is indicated when medical management fails or complications arise.[1]
Surgery
Indications
Some of the indications for the surgical management of strongyloidiasis include:
- Complete intestinal obstruction with inadequate decompression
- Lack of response within 24-48 hrs of medical management of obstruction
- Complications such as volvulus, intussusception, or intestinal perforation
- Acute appendicitis
- Worms trapped in ducts
- Liver invasion by worms
Management of intestinal obstruction
Intestinal obstruction due to strongyloidiasis should be managed conservatively by:
- Nasogastric decompression
- Fluid and electrolyte repletion
- Antihelminthic therapy once bowel motility is restored. Piperazine causes flaccid paralysis of the worms, which can help relieve the obstruction through rapid expulsion of the worms
- Complete obstruction with inadequate decompression, lack of response within an interval of 24-48 hrs, volvulus, intussusception, or perforation should be managed surgically
