ABSTRACT

Fallopian tubal prolapse into the vaginal vault is a relatively rare postoperative complication after hysterectomy with adnexal preservation. The exact incidence is not known due to failure to diagnose and under-reporting. We hereby report a case who presented with unexplained vaginal bleeding post-hysterectomy, which was subsequently diagnosed and managed successfully.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY: Experimental studies devoted to the study of the mechanisms of the pathogenesis of acute peritonitis and the development of new methods of medical and surgical treatment are becoming increasingly relevant. Today, experimental medicine knows many different ways to modeling septic peritonitis and eliminate it, but the role of the local immune system is underestimated, whereas it takes a direct part in inflammation. The objective of our work to study morphological features of results of experimental modeling of septic peritonitis in white rats. The study included 15 sexually mature white male rats weighing 276.75±6.56 grams. A simulation of septic peritonitis was performed by perforating the upper part of the cecum with four punctures with a G16 injection needle. As a result of the experiment, after examination of the peritoneal cavity, all 15 animals were diagnosed with omentum tamponade of perforated damage to the caecum. In 11 cases, the perforated wall of the caecum was covered by the greater omentum (73.34 %), and in the other 4 animals, tamponade was performed by one of the epididymal omentum (26.66 %). The initial stage of tamponade with the greater or epididymal omentums of a perforated caecum begins on the first day of the experiment and consists of tight interstitial consolidation between them, as well as in the invasion of blood vessels from the omentum side to the focus of infection, which ensure the delivery of the appropriate immunocompetent cells. As a result of this process, intensive lymphoid infiltrates are formed in this area, as well as the growth of adipose tissue, which isolates the inflammatory focus from the peritoneal cavity with a thick layer.


Las investigaciones experimentales dedicadas al estudio de los mecanismos de patogénesis de la peritonitis aguda y el desarrollo de nuevos métodos de tratamiento médico y quirúrgico son cada vez más relevantes. Hoy en día, la medicina experimental conoce muchas formas diferentes de modelar la peritonitis séptica y eliminarla, pero se subestima el papel del sistema inmunológico local, mientras que él participa directamente en la inflamación. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo fue estudiar las características morfológicas de los resultados del modelado experimental de peritonitis séptica en ratas blancas. El estudio incluyó 15 ratas macho blancas, sexualmente maduras que pesaban 276,75 ± 6,56 gramos. Se realizó una simulación de peritonitis séptica perforando la parte superior del ciego con cuatro punciones con una aguja de inyección G16. Como resultado del experimento, después del examen de la cavidad peritoneal, a los 15 animales se les diagnosticó taponamiento del omento o lesión perforada del ciego. En 11 casos, la pared perforada del ciego fue recubierta por el omento mayor (73,34 %), y en los otros 4 animales el taponamiento se realizó por uno de los epidídimos (26,66 %). La etapa inicial del taponamiento con omento mayor o epidídimo de un ciego perforado comienza el primer día del experimento y consiste en una estrecha consolidación intersticial entre ellos, así como en la invasión de los vasos sanguíneos desde el lado del omento hasta el foco de infección, que aseguran la entrega de las células inmunocompetentes apropiadas. Como resultado de este proceso, se forman intensos infiltrados linfoides en esta zona, así como el crecimiento de tejido adiposo, que aísla el foco inflamatorio de la cavidad peritoneal con una gruesa capa.

ABSTRACT

Introduction. Perforated peptic ulcer remains one of the critical abdominal conditions that requires early surgical intervention. Leakage after omental patch repair represents one of the devastating complications that increase morbidity and mortality. Our study aimed to assess risk factors and early predictors for incidence of leakage. Methods. Retrospective analysis of data of the patients who underwent omental patch repair for perforated peptic ulcer in the period between January 2019 and January 2022 in Mansoura University Hospital, Egypt. Pre, intra and postoperative variables were collected and statistically analyzed. Incriminated risk factors for leakage incidence were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis. Results. This study included 123 patients who met inclusion criteria. Leakage was detected in seven (5.7%) patients. Although associated comorbidities (p=0.01), postoperative intensive care unit admission (p=0.03), and postoperative hypotension (p=0.02) were significant risk factors in univariate analysis, septic shock (p=0.001), delayed intervention (p=0.04), preoperative hypoalbuminemia (p=0.017), and perforation size >5mm (p= 0.04) were found as independent risk factors for leakage upon multivariate analysis. Conclusion. Delayed presentation in septic shock, preoperative hypoalbuminemia, prolonged perforation, operation interval, and large perforation size > 5mm were detected as independent risk factors for leakage. Postoperative tachypnea and tachycardia with increased levels of C-reactive protein and total leucocytic count are alarming signs for incidence of leakage


Introducción. La úlcera péptica perforada es una de las afecciones abdominales críticas que requiere una intervención quirúrgica temprana. La fuga después de la reparación con parche de epiplón representa una de las complicaciones más devastadoras, que aumentan la morbilidad y la mortalidad. Nuestro estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar los factores de riesgo y los predictores tempranos de fugas. Métodos. Análisis retrospectivo de los datos de los pacientes sometidos a reparación con parche de epiplón por úlcera péptica perforada, en el período comprendido entre enero de 2019 y enero de 2022, en el Hospital Universitario de Mansoura, Egipto. Se recogieron y analizaron estadísticamente variables pre, intra y postoperatorias. Los factores de riesgo asociados a la incidencia de fugas se analizaron mediante análisis univariado y multivariado. Resultados. Este estudio incluyó 123 pacientes que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Se detectó fuga en siete (5,7 %) pacientes. Aunque las comorbilidades asociadas (p=0,01), el ingreso postoperatorio a la unidad de cuidados intensivos (p=0,03) y la hipotensión postoperatoria (p=0,02) fueron factores de riesgo en el análisis univariado, el shock séptico (p=0,001), el retraso en la intervención (p=0,04), la hipoalbuminemia preoperatoria (p=0,017) y el tamaño de la perforación mayor de 5 mm (p=0,04) se encontraron como factores de riesgo de fuga independientes en el análisis multivariado. Conclusión. Se detectaron como factores de riesgo independientes de fuga la presentación tardía en shock séptico, la hipoalbuminemia preoperatoria, la perforación prolongada, el intervalo operatorio y el tamaño de la perforación mayor de 5 mm. La taquipnea posoperatoria y la taquicardia con niveles elevados de proteína C reactiva y recuento leucocitario total son signos de alarma sobre la presencia de fuga.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of omental wrapping technique for pancreaticojejunal anastomosis in preventing complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy. MethodsThis study was conducted according to the PRISMA guideline. English and Chinese databases including CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for clinical studies on omental wrapping technique for pancreaticojejunal anastomosis in preventing complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy published up to November 2022, and Stata 16 and Review Manager 5.4 were used to perform the meta-analysis. ResultsA total of 15 studies with 1 830 patients were included in this study. The meta-analysis showed that the omental wrapping group had a significantly lower overall incidence rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) than the non-omental wrapping group (odds ratio [OR]=0.30, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.22‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.41, P<0.001), and the subgroup analysis showed that the omental wrapping group had a significantly lower incidence rate of grade B/C POPF than the non-omental wrapping group (OR=0.29, 95%CI: 0.21‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.39, P<0.001). Compared with the non-omental wrapping group, the omental wrapping group had significantly lower incidence rates of postoperative bile leakage (OR=0.30, 95%CI: 0.16‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.56, P<0.001), postoperative hemorrhage (OR=0.35, 95%CI: 0.24‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.53, P<0.001), delayed gastric emptying (OR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.31‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.64, P<0.001), abdominal infection (OR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.40‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.75, P<0.001), reoperation (OR=0.31, 95%CI: 0.18‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.54, P<0.001), and death within 30 days after surgery (OR=0.42, 95%CI: 0.22‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.80, P=0.009), a significantly earlier time to diet (mean difference [MD]=-0.98, 95%CI: -1.84 to -0.11, P=0.03), and a significantly shorter length of postoperative hospital stay (MD=-2.44, 95%CI: -4.10 to -0.77, P=0.004). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the time of operation (MD=-13.68, 95%CI: -28.31 to -0.95, P=0.07) and intraoperative blood loss (MD=-17.26, 95%CI: -57.55 to -23.03, P=0.40). ConclusionOmental wrapping can reduce the incidence rates of postoperative complications such as pancreatic fistula, bile leakage, postoperative hemorrhage, abdominal infection, and delayed gastric emptying, improve the prognosis of patients, and shorten the length of hospital stay, without increasing surgical difficulty or time of operation.

ABSTRACT

La torsión del epiplón mayor es una patología poco frecuente con una clínica inespecífica, por lo que históricamente su diagnóstico es realizado en el quirófano ya que simula patologías como la apendicitis o colecistitis. Los métodos auxiliares de diagnóstico como las ecografías o las tomografías son de mucha utilidad para la sospecha de esta patología, aunque no cuenta con signos patognomónicos de la enfermedad, las imágenes asociadas a la clínica del paciente pueden llevar a un diagnóstico preciso. Presentamos el caso de un paciente joven de sexo masculino, que acudió al servicio de urgencias por cuadro de dolor abdominal tipo cólico de moderada intensidad en fosa iliaca derecha, acompañado de sensación febril, sin alteración de la analítica sanguínea, sin hallazgo de valor en la ecografía abdominal, que ante la persistencia del dolor y la fiebre se realizó una tomografía contrastada en la que se observó un empastamiento del epiplón sometiéndose a una laparoscopía exploradora con el hallazgo de una torsión del epiplón mayor.


Torsion of the greater omentum is a rare pathology with non-specific symptoms, so historically its diagnosis is made in the operating room since it simulates pathologies such as appendicitis or cholecystitis. Auxiliary diagnostic methods such as ultrasound or tomography are of very useful for the suspicion of this pathology, although it does not have pathognomonic signs of the disease, the images associated with the patient's symptoms can lead to a precise diagnosis. We present the case of a young male patient who came to the emergency department due to moderately intense colic-like abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa, accompanied by a feverish sensation, without alterations in blood tests, without any finding of value in the abdominal ultrasound, due to the persistence of pain and fever, a contrast-enhanced tomography was performed in which a filling of the omentum was observed, undergoing an exploratory laparoscopy with the discovery of a torsion of the greater omentum.

ABSTRACT

Obesity which is neuroendocrine disorder seems to be common predisposing factor for almost all non-communicable diseases. This neuroendocrine disturbance causes multiple systemic disorders and finally Ayurhasa (reduction in longevity of life) by various means. Ayurveda mentioned eight pathophysiological conditions considered as Nindya (worse conditions). Atisthool (excessive weight) is one of these conditions due to improper Aahara (dietary habits), Vihar (sedentary life style) and changed sleep pattern. Apachita meda (improperly metabolized fat) deposited in Udara (abdomen). Medodharakala according to Ayurveda and abdominal linings bear several similar characteristics related to fat and Medodhatu deposition. Deterioration of functioning of Medodhara kala leads to deposition of Apachita meda leading to Sthoulya. In obesity, abdominal wall, space between organs stores much amount of adipose tissue (site of Meda deposition). So this article reveals with parallel study of Medodhara kala and abdominal adipose tissue to find out similarity.

ABSTRACT

El abdomen agudo comprende un amplio grupo de enfermedades con alta incidencia en la práctica quirúrgica habitual. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino, de 23 años, con cuadro abdominal agudo, cuyo diagnóstico preoperatorio fue compatible con una apendicitis aguda; al efectuar la laparotomía exploratoria se constató torsión primaria y segmentaria del omento mayor. Esta es una afección de difícil diagnóstico preoperatorio, generalmente diagnosticada durante el acto quirúrgico porque fácilmente se confunde con otras enfermedades del abdomen agudo quirúrgico. Lo indicado en estos pacientes es la remoción del segmento involucrado por lo que se realizó omentectomía parcial y apendicectomía complementaria; el paciente presentó una evolución clínica favorable.


Acute abdomen comprises a wide group of diseases with a high incidence in routine surgical practice. We present a 23-year-old male patient with acute abdominal symptoms, whose preoperative diagnosis was compatible with acute appendicitis; primary and segmental torsion of the greater omentum was found when performing the exploratory laparotomy. This condition is difficult to diagnose preoperatively; it is generally evident during surgery because it is confused with other diseases of the acute surgical abdomen. The removal of the involved segment is indicated in these patients that is why partial omentectomy and complementary appendectomy were performed; the patient had a favourable clinical evolution.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: El dolor abdominal se constituye como uno de los motivos de consulta más frecuentes en los servicios de urgencias, su adecuado abordaje diagnóstico determina el tratamiento a elegir por parte del médico a cargo del caso; este a su vez puede optar por un manejo médico o quirúrgico, todo esto si se considera la causa subyacente de la sintomatología que presenta el paciente. Caso clínico: En el presente artículo se presenta el caso de un paciente del sexo masculino en la quinta década de la vida, con antecedente quirúrgico de apendicetomía; el cual consulta por cuadro clínico de dolor abdominal intenso de localización en la fosa iliaca derecha. En el examen físico fue llamativa la presencia de signos de irritación peritoneal, por lo cual se solicitaron estudios serológicos que se encontraron dentro de los parámetros normales, además una tomografía computada de abdomen que reveló trabeculación de grasa pericecal. El paciente persistió sintomático, por lo que fue llevado a exploración vía abierta de la cavidad abdominal, con hallazgo intraoperatorio de apendagitis aguda. Conclusión: A pesar de ser una causa infrecuente de abdomen agudo quirúrgico, la apendagitis aguda siempre debe ser un diagnóstico a considerar por parte de los médicos de urgencias y los cirujanos. El disponer de estudios de imagen que permitan una adecuada caracterización del cuadro clínico va a ser fundamental para el manejo de los pacientes, más, si se tiene en cuenta toda la variedad de entidades que se presentan en la cavidad abdominal.


Abstract Introduction: Abdominal pain is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in the emergency services, its adequate diagnostic approach determines the treatment to be chosen by the doctor in charge of the case; This in turn can opt for medical or surgical management, all this if the underlying cause of the symptoms presented by the patient is considered. Clinical case: This article presents the case of a male patient in the fifth decade of life, with a surgical history of appendectomy, which he consults due to a clinical picture of intense abdominal pain located in the right iliac fossa. In the physical examination, the presence of signs of peritoneal irritation was striking, for which serological studies were requested, which were found to be within normal parameters, in addition to a computed tomography of the abdomen that revealed trabeculation of pericecal fat. The patient persisted with symptoms, so he was taken for open abdominal cavity exploration, with an intraoperative finding of acute appendagitis. Conclusion: Despite being an infrequent cause of acute surgical abdomen, acute appendagitis should always be a diagnosis to be considered by emergency physicians and surgeons. The availability of imaging studies that allow an adequate characterization of the clinical picture is going to be essential for the management of patients, especially if the whole variety of entities that occur in the abdominal cavity are taken into account.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of pedicled omentum packing of pelvic floor after laparoscopic Miles precedure in the prevention of short-term postoperative complications.Methods:Seventy-two patients undergoing laparoscopic combined abdominal perineal resection for rectal cancer at He'nan Tumor Hospital from Jan 2014 to Aug 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The observation group underwent pelvic floor reconstruction with pedicled omentum, while in control group the pelvic floor was leaving unconstructed.Results:There was no intestinal obstruction in the observation group. There were 5 cases of intestinal obstruction in the control group. Three were recovered by conservative treatment, 2 cases underwent laparotomy and 1 case underwent anastomosis between small intestine and small intestine. The incidence of intestinal obstruction between 2 groups was statistically different (0 vs. 14%, χ2=5.083, P=0.024 ). The operation time, hospital stay between the two groups were statistically different [(195±13) min vs. (159±9) min, t=10.047, P=0.000; (11.9±0.9) d vs. (14.9±2.1) d, t=-5.996, P=0.000 ). Between the two groups, there were no significant differences in the incidence of presacral infection , pulmonary infection, venous thrombosis and intraoperative blood loss (all P>0.05) . Conclusion:Pedicled greater omentum used in pelvic floor reconstruction after laparoscopic Miles procedure reduces the incidence of short-term postoperative complications, especially of intestinal obstruction.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: las quemaduras son traumas ocasionados, generalmente por exposición térmica, radioactiva, eléctrica o química. Presentación del caso: paciente masculino de 17 años que sufre accidentalmente quemadura eléctrica de alto voltaje. En la mano derecha, por su evolución desfavorable y lesiones hipodérmicas con compromiso vascular fue necesaria la amputación de la mano. A nivel del pie derecho se eliminó el tejido necrótico quedando la falange distal del grueso artejo expuesta. Al lograr un tejido de granulación útil se realiza homoinjerto de epiplón. Discusión: el epiplón es un donador natural de factores de crecimiento. El injerto de epiplón mostró su utilidad para proteger pequeñas partes óseas expuestas, favoreciendo el mejoramiento del tejido de granulación, el control de la infección local y la cicatrización. Conclusiones: la utilización del homoinjerto de epiplón es una alternativa viable para cubrir zonas cruentas pequeñas con hueso expuesto, favoreciendo el tejido de granulación y la cicatrización.


Introduction: burns are trauma caused, usually by thermal, radioactive, electrical, or chemical exposure. Presentation of the case: a 17-year-old male patient accidentally suffers a high voltage electrical burn. In the right hand, due to its unfavorable evolution and hypodermic lesions with vascular compromise, the amputation of the hand was necessary. At the level of the right foot, the necrotic tissue was removed, leaving the distal phalanx of the thick exposed thick finger. Once a useful granulation tissue is achieved, omentum homograft is performed. Discussion: the omentum is a natural donor of growth factors. The omentum graft showed its usefulness to protect small exposed bone parts, favoring the improvement of the granulation tissue, the control of local infection and healing. Conclusions: the use of omental homograft is a viable alternative to cover small bloody areas with exposed bone, favoring granulation tissue and healing.

ABSTRACT

Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma (DDLPS) is a rare subtype of liposarcoma with a high preponderance of local recurrence and distant metastasis. The frequent site of DDLPS is the retroperitoneum, followed by the limbs and trunk. The primary omental DDLPS is very rare and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Here we report a rare case of primary giant DDLPS of omentum with intraperitoneal metastasis in a 61year old woman. The present case report adds to our knowledge, that a case of intraperitoneal DDLPS can mimic ovarian cancer clinically and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pelvic mass in postmenopausal women.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Los quistes mesentéricos son tumores poco frecuentes y usualmente benignos, que se diagnostican principalmente en la edad pediátrica, de manera incidental.Caso clínico. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de cuatro años de edad, con dificultad para acceso a servicio de salud por localización de su vivienda, quien cursa con un cuadro clínico de dos años de evolución de distensión abdominal progresiva, interpretada y manejada como ascitis. Se realizó una tomografía de abdomen en la que se documentó una lesión quística gigante, por lo que fue llevada a resección por laparotomía, con confirmación histopatológica de un quiste mesentérico. Discusión. Los quistes mesentéricos pueden tener cualquier localización en el mesenterio del tracto gastrointestinal. Su principal etiología es la proliferación anormal y benigna de tejido linfático mesentérico. Las manifestaciones clínicas van desde la ausencia de síntomas hasta el abdomen agudo. Dentro de los síntomas abdominales no agudos se encuentran masa abdominal indolora, dolor abdominal, distensión abdominal y signos clínicos que simulan ascitis. La resección completa del quiste mesentérico es considerada el tratamiento de elección; el abordaje laparoscópico o abierto dependerá de las características clínicas de cada paciente y la experiencia del cirujano tratante. Conclusión. Es importante que los cirujanos conozcan las principales características y el manejo de esta entidad, que una vez presente, puede simular un síndrome ascítico.


Introduction. Mesenteric cysts are rare and usually benign tumors, which are diagnosed incidentally, mainly in children.Clinical case. We present the case of a 4-year-old patient, with difficulty accessing health services due to the location of her home, who has a 2-year history of progressive abdominal distension, interpreted and managed as ascites. An abdominal tomography was performed in which a giant cystic lesion was documented. She underwent resection by laparotomy, with histopathological confirmation of a mesenteric cyst. Discussion. Mesenteric cysts can have any location in the mesentery of the gastrointestinal tract. Its main etiology is the abnormal and benign proliferation of mesenteric lymphatic tissue. Clinical manifestations range from the absence of symptoms to an acute abdomen. Non-acute abdominal symptoms include a painless abdominal mass, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, and clinical signs that mimic ascites. Complete resection of the mesenteric cyst is considered the treatment of choice; laparoscopic or open approach will depend on the clinical characteristics of each patient and the experience of the treating surgeon. Conclusion. It is important for surgeons to know the main characteristics and management of this entity, which once present, can mimic an ascites syndrome

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La úlcera duodenal perforada es una entidad de etiología no clara que rara vez ocurre en la población pediátrica. Generalmente se diagnostica de manera intraoperatoria y el tratamiento ideal incluye el uso del parche de epiplón o de ser necesario, la resección quirúrgica. Caso clínico. Se presenta un paciente de 12 años con abdomen agudo y diagnóstico tomográfico prequirúrgico de úlcera duodenal perforada, tratado por vía laparoscópica con drenaje de peritonitis y parche de Graham. La evolución y el seguimiento posterior fueron adecuados. Discusión. La úlcera duodenal perforada es una entidad multifactorial, en la que se ha implicado el Helicobacter pylori. El diagnóstico preoperatorio es un reto y el tratamiento debe ser quirúrgico. Conclusiones. Cuando se logra establecer el diagnóstico preoperatorio, se puede realizar un abordaje laparoscópico y el uso del parche de Graham cuando las úlceras son menores de dos centímetros.


Introduction. Perforated duodenal ulcer is an entity of unclear etiology that rarely occurs in the pediatric population. It is usually diagnosed intraoperatively and the ideal treatment includes the use of the omentum patch or, if necessary, surgical resection. Clinical case. A 12-year-old patient with acute abdomen and preoperative tomographic diagnosis of perforated duodenal ulcer, treated laparoscopically with peritonitis drainage and Graham patch is presented. The evolution and subsequent follow-up were adequate. Discussion. Perforated duodenal ulcer is a multifactorial entity, in which Helicobacter pylori has been implicated. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging and treatment must be surgical. Conclusions. When the preoperative diagnosis is established, a laparoscopic approach and the use of the Graham patch can be performed when the ulcers are less than two centimeters.

ABSTRACT

Resumen El infarto omental es una causa infrecuente de abdomen agudo y de etiología no muy conocida, su presentación clínica inespecífica puede simular otras patologías más comunes, lo que hace su diagnóstico un reto clínico. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 33 años que asiste a urgencias con clínica de dolor abdominal agudo, atípico, con hallazgos ecográficos sugestivos de apendicitis aguda, sin embargo, por la clínica inusual se realizó tomografía axial computarizada (TAC) de abdomen, con reporte sugestivo de diverticulitis. Ante la no concordancia clínica ni imagenológica, la paciente fue llevada a laparoscopia diagnóstica, como hallazgo intraoperatorio se evidenció isquemia del epiplón como único hallazgo, por lo cual se realizó omentectomía parcial. Siendo este un caso de importancia clínica debido a que el infarto omental debe considerarse entre los diagnósticos diferenciales de dolor abdominal agudo, en especial cuando la presentación es atípica y se han excluido las patologías más frecuentes. MÉD.UIS.2022;35(1): 43-8.


Abstract Omental infarction is an uncommon cause of acute abdomen and its etiology is not well known. Its nonspecific clinical presentation can simulate bibr more common pathologies which makes its diagnosis a clinical challenge. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman who attends the emergency room with symptoms of acute, atypical abdominal pain, ultrasound findings were suggestive of acute appendicitis, however, due to unusual symptoms, a computerized axial tomography (CT) of the abdomen was performed, with a suggestive report of diverticulitis. Given the clinical and imagenologycal findings mismatch, the patient underwent to diagnostic laparoscopy where omentum ischemia was evidenced as the only finding, partial omentectomy was performed. This is a case of clinical importance because the omental infarction should be considered among the differential diagnoses of acute abdominal pain, especially when the presentation is atypical and the most frequent pathologies have been excluded.

ABSTRACT

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a very rare diagnosis with about 200 cases reported in literature. DSRCT is a recently described histopathological entity by Gerald and Rosai in 1989. Abdominopelvic cavity especially peritoneum is the most common site. We report a case of a huge omental DSRCT with lymph node metastasis which was initially misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumor on radiology. A 26-year-old male presented with complaints of upper abdominal swelling associated with constant dull pain. On examination there was a large 15 × 12 cm intraabdominal mass in the epigastric and umbilical region. Imaging studies were suggestive of neoplastic mesenchymal etiology. Image-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was suggestive of mesenchymal neoplastic etiology. On laparotomy, there was a huge 20 × 15 cm mass arising from omentum with multiple omental and mesenteric seedlings and mesenteric, peripancreatic and perigastric lymphadenopathy. The patient underwent debulking surgery with uneventful post-operative recovery. Histopathological examination with immunohistochemistry revealed a diagnosis of DSRCT of omentum and small bowel mesentery with lymph node metastasis. Patient then received adjuvant chemotherapy with multiple chemotherapeutic drugs as per P6 protocol and has stable disease at 1 year follow up.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT - BACKGROUND: Although many methods have been defined for colonic anastomosis, anastomotic leak still remains important for sepsis control and successful healing. AIM: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of conventional suture, polyglactin 910 mesh, and omental flap coverage on healing and anastomotic leak in experimental colonic anastomosis in rats. METHOD: This study was conducted on 18 Wistar rats and the animals were divided into three groups as follows: Group 1: primary suture group; Group 2: primary suture plus polyglactin 910 mesh group; and Group 3: primary suture plus omental flap coverage group. Groups were compared in terms of anastomotic bursting pressure, inflammation, fibroblastic activity, neovascularization, and collagen amount. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference in anastomotic bursting pressure between Groups 1 and 2 and between Groups 1 and 3 (p=0.004, p<0.05). There was a significant difference in fibroblastic activity between Groups 1 and 3 (p=0.011, p<0.05) and between Groups 2 and 3 (p=0.030, p<0.05). There was a significant difference in neovascularization and collagen between Groups 1 and 2 and between Groups 1 and 3 (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: This experimental study found that polyglactin 910 mesh and omental flap coverage for colocolic anastomoses improved the physical strength and healing of the anastomosis compared to conventional hand-stitched anastomoses. The polyglactin may be a safe alternative to 910 mesh in cases where the omental flap coverage cannot be used in the colonic anastomosis.


RESUMO - RACIONAL: Embora muitos métodos tenham sido definidos para anastomose colônica, a fistula anastomótica ainda permanece importante para o controle da sepse e a cura bem-sucedida. OBJETIVO: comparar os efeitos da sutura convencional, tela de poliglactina 910 e cobertura de retalho omental na cicatrização e extravasamento anastomótico em anastomose colônica experimental em ratos. MÉTODO: estudo realizado em 18 ratos Wistar, sendo os animais divididos em 3 grupos. Grupo 1: Grupo de sutura primária; Grupo 2: sutura primária com malha de poliglactina 910; Grupo 3: Grupo sutura primária com cobertura de retalho omental. Os grupos foram comparados em termos de pressão de ruptura anastomótica, inflamação, atividade fibroblástica, neovascularização e quantidade de colágeno. RESULTADOS: houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na pressão de ruptura da anastomose entre os Grupos 1 e 2 e os Grupos 1 e 3 (p=0,004, p<0.05). Houve uma diferença significativa na atividade fibroblástica entre os Grupos 1 e 3 (p=0,011, p<0.05) e os Grupos 2 e 3 (p=0,030, p<0.05). Houve uma diferença significativa na neovascularização e colágeno entre os Grupos 1 e 2 e entre os Grupos 1 e 3 (p<0,05, p<0.05). CONCLUSÃO: o estudo experimental demonstrou que a tela de poliglactina 910 e a cobertura do retalho omental para anastomoses colocólicas melhoraram a resistência física e a cicatrização da anastomose em comparação com as anastomoses suturadas manualmente convencionais. A poliglactina pode ser uma alternativa segura à tela 910 nos casos em que a cobertura do retalho omental não pode ser utilizada na anastomose colônica.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: El linfangioma mesentérico es un tumor quístico congénito, benigno y raro de los vasos linfáticos, que se presenta en menos del 5% de los casos a nivel abdominal. Se presentan con mayor frecuencia durante la infancia. Esta patología se debe considerar como diagnóstico diferencial de abdomen agudo y masas abdominales pediátricas. CASO CLÍNICO: Niño de 6 años de edad, presentó cuadro de dolor abdominal y peritonismo. Presentó febrícula, signo de rebote positivo, además leucocitosis y neutrofilia. Ecografía evidenció abundante líquido libre en abdomen y pelvis. EVOLUCIÓN: Se realizó laparotomía exploratoria, con hallazgo de masa quística dependiente de epiplón mayor, la misma que se resecó. La histopatología fue negativa para malignidad y compatible con linfangioma quístico, la inmunohistoquímica con marcador D2-40 positi-vo. El paciente evolucionó favorablemente sin complicaciones quirúrgicas y sin evidencia de recurrencia hasta el año de seguimiento. CONCLUSION: El linfangioma quístico mesentérico puede debutar con sintomatología de abdomen agudo, puede también tener una evolución crónica. La resección completa es el tratamiento de elección, actualmente se realizan procedimientos mínimamente invasivos, con resultados favorables. La ecografía es útil para realizar un seguimiento a largo plazo.(AU)


BACKGROUND: Mesenteric lymphangioma is a rare, benign congenital cystic tumor of the lym-phatic vessels, which occurs in less than 5% pf the cases at the abdomen. They appear most often during childhood. This tumor should be considered as a differential diagnosis of acute abdomen and other abdominal masses. CASE REPORT: A 6-year-old boy presented with abdominal pain and peritonism. He presented a low-grade fever, a positive rebound sign, as well as leukocytosis and neutrophilia. Ultrasono-graphy showed abundant free fluid in abdomen and pelvis. EVOLUTION: Exploratory laparotomy was performed, finding a cystic mass dependent on the greater omentum, this mass was resected. Histopathology was negative for malignancy and compatible with cystic lymphangioma, immunohistochemistry was positive for D2-40 marker. The patient evolved favorably without surgical complications and without evidence of recurrence up to one year of follow-up. CONCLUSION: Mesenteric cystic lymphangioma can present with symptoms of acute abdomen, it can also have a chronic evolution. Complete resection is the treatment of choice, currently minimally invasive procedures are performed with favorable results. Ultrasound is useful for long-term follow-up.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Perforated peptic ulcer is a common acute abdominal disease and requires emergency surgical treatment. Laparoscopic repair PPU was started early but progressed slowly. Compared with the popularization of minimally invasive concept of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic repair is still under the situation of disputation, low overall application rate and extremely unbalanced development in different regions and organizations. With the embodiment of minimally invasive advantages of laparoscopy and the technology progress, as well as the updating of surgeons′ ideas and the emergence of higher quality RCT studies, the proportion of PPU in laparoscopic treatment is gradually increasing. In order to make full use of the minimally invasive value and differential diagnostic value of laparoscopy, the laparoscopy-first approach can be adopted as a routine for appropriate PPU patients. The key to case selection and the physicians experience and proficiency. Laparoscopy should be actively adopted but should not be easily expanded. If necessary, the patients should be converted to open operation. If not the advantages of laparoscopy will be drowned.

ABSTRACT

It is a rare mesenchymal tumour of intermediate biologic potential (according to World Health Organization), with unknown aetiology. It is benign tumour with malignant potential. It frequently recurs and rarely metastasizes. Abdominopelvic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours have the recurrence rate of 85% so meticulous follow up is necessary. Complete surgical excision is the main stay treatment.
