676. A lady underwent debulking surgery for ovarian carcinoma. Soon after the surgery she presents
with signs of intestinal obstruction. What is the single most appropriate inv?
a. Pelvic CT
b. CA 125
c. Laparotomy
d. Laparoscopy
e. Abdominal US
Answer: C
Obstruction can be found and corrected at the same time. Other investigations for intestinal obstruction: Abdominal Xray, CT scan (n.b here it specifically says pelvic CT which would not be a good choice as we need to examine the whole abdomen), Gastrograffin enema
