Even those that stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

I've worked with a lot of Doctors in my film career and worked a few seasons of ER and Chicago Hope, Grey's Anatomy so I have some medical knowledge. All the info I've gotten is from my BIL, haven't spoken directly with any of her Doctors.

My 66 y.o. Sister went in for a Colonoscopy yesterday morning. Apparently they perforated her bowel during the procedure and didn't notice until the insufflator was leaking air into her chest cavity causing breathing problems while under anesthesia (Tension Pneumothorax maybe?).

Anyway she's now in ICU, intubated and mildly sedated. My BIL is a nervous wreck, not getting many answers from her Docs. I told him they know they effed up and are trying to make sure she is completely stable on the last step before moving onto the next step.

The air has almost completely drained in the chest cavity helping to regain normal lung volume and function.

What is the procedure to repair a bowel tear? Cautery? Is there a medical version of Flex Seal that repairs leaks and tears? TIA if you have any input or have ever experienced this.
