ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: El síndrome de Wilkie es una causa poco frecuente de obstrucción del tracto digestivo superior, se caracteriza por una disminución del ángulo aorto-mesentérico que resulta en compresión de la tercera porción del duodeno que produce síntomas obstructivos altos. Caso Clínico: Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 64 años, con historia de dolor abdominal, pirosis, saciedad precoz e intolerancia a la vía oral, en quien los estudios iniciales mostraron esofagitis, pero en quien los síntomas no mejoraron con el tratamiento clásico para enfermedad ácido péptica y en quien estudios imagenológicos adicionales sugerían el síndrome de Wilkie como causa de los síntomas. Discusión y Conclusión: Se trata de una patología que debe conocerse y considerar en paciente con historia de pérdida de peso, marcada intolerancia a la vía oral y falta de respuesta al manejo.


Introduction: Wilkie syndrome is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal tract obstruction, it is characterized by a decrease in the aorto-mesenteric angle that results in a compression of the third portion of the duodenum causing high obstructive symptoms. Case Report: We present the case of a 64-year-old woman, with a history of abdominal pain, heartburn, early satiety, and intolerance to the oral route, in whom initial studies showed esophagitis, but in whom symptoms did not improve with the classic treatment for peptic acid disease, additional imaging studies suggested Wilkie syndrome. Discussion and Conclusión: It is a pathology that must be known and suspected in patients with a history of weight loss, marked intolerance to oral intake, and lack of treatment response.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: La resección duodenal distal (RDD) es una técnica quirúrgica compleja e infrecuente usada para el tratamiento de patologías duodenales o extraduodenales, que no comprometen la papila duodenal mayor, siendo su indicación más frecuente la patología neoplásica. Objetivo: Dar a conocer nuestra experiencia con esta técnica quirúrgica. Materiales y Método: Serie de pacientes sometidos a RDD entre 2009-2020 en el Hospital Clínico UC. Resultados: Total 12 pacientes, mediana de edad 56 años. Diagnóstico preoperatorio: tumores primarios duodenales (4), tumores con compromiso duodenal por contigüidad (5) y patologías de urgencia (3). El abordaje fue abierto en 9 pacientes y laparoscópico en 3 (1 caso convertido). En 9 pacientes se resecó D3-D4, en 1 paciente incluyó parte de D2 y en 2, sólo D4. La anastomosis duodenoyeyunal fue manual en 10 casos, todas con ascenso transmesocólico del asa yeyunal. Hubo 33% (n: 4) de morbilidad, todos Clavien Dindo II y 8% de mortalidad (n: 1). No hubo filtración de la anastomosis duodenoyeyunal. En el seguimiento ninguno presentó complicaciones y 4 pacientes fallecieron por progresión oncológica. Conclusión: La principal indicación quirúrgica fue patología neoplásica y en nuestra serie no hubo morbilidad mayor ni filtración anastomótica.


Introduction: Distal duodenal resection is a complex and infrequent surgical technique used for the treatment of duodenal or extraduodenal pathologies that do not compromise the greater duodenal papilla, the most frequent indication being the neoplastic cause. Aim: To publicize our experience with this surgical technique. Materials and Method: Series of patients undergoing a distal duodenal resection between 2009-2020 at the UC Clinical Hospital. Results: Total 12 patients, median age 56 years. Preoperative diagnosis: primary duodenal tumors (4), tumors with duodenal involvement due to contiguity (5), and emergency pathologies (3). The approach was open in 9 patients and laparoscopic in 3 (1 converted). D3-D4 was resected in 10 patients, 1 included part of D2 and 2 only D4. The duodenojejunal anastomosis was manual in 10 cases, all with transmesocolic ascending of the jejunal loop. There were 33% (n: 4) morbidity, all Clavien Dindo II, and 8% mortality (n: 1). There was no leakage of the duodenojejunal anastomosis. During followup, none presented complications and 4 patients died of oncological progression. Conclusion: The main surgical indication was neoplastic pathology and in our series, there was no major morbidity or anastomotic leak.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: El divertículo duodenal se presenta con una frecuencia del 1 al 23% según series radiológicas y de autopsias. La localización más frecuente es la segunda porción duodenal cercana a la cabeza pancreática, por lo cual puede ser confundido con neoplasias pancreáticas quísticas. Material y Método: Presentamos un paciente con diagnóstico de sospecha radiológica, mediante ecoendoscopia y punción aspiración con aguja fina (PAAF), de neoplasia mucinosa de páncreas que fue intervenido, encontrándose un endurecimiento de la cabeza pancreática y un divertículo duodenal yuxtavateriano, realizándose extirpación en bloque ante la sospecha de malignidad. Resultado: El posoperatorio del paciente fue favorable y el resultado anatomopatológico del tejido pancreático informó de tejido pancreático sin anomalías y divertículo duodenal. Discusión: El diagnóstico diferencial preoperatorio del divertículo duodenal con la neoplasia mucinosa quística de páncreas es muy complejo, ya que la punción del líquido del interior del divertículo puede ser similar al de un proceso neoplásico mucinoso pancreático. Ante la sospecha diagnóstica y la presencia de clínica está indicado realizar laparotomía exploradora, para obtener un diagnóstico de certeza.


Objective: The duodenal diverticulum presents with a frequency of 1 to 23% according to radiological series and autopsies. The most frequent localization is the second duodenal portion near the pancreatic head so it may be confused with cystic pancreatic neoplasms. Material and Method: We present a patient with diagnosis of radiological suspicion by means of echoendoscopy and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of a mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas that was intervened, being a hardening of the pancreatic head and a duodenal juxtavaterian diverticulum, being performed a block removal on suspicion of malignancy. Result: The patient's postoperative period was favorable and the anatomopathological result of the pancreatic tissue was of pancreatic tissue without anomalies and duodenal diverticulum. Discussion: The preoperative differential diagnosis of duodenal diverticulum with mucinous cystic neoplasia of the pancreas is very complex, since the puncture of the fluid inside the diverticulum may be similar to that of a neoplastic process of the pancreatic mucin. Before the suspected diagnosis and the presence of clinic is indicated to perform exploratory laparotomy, to obtain a diagnosis of certainty.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT A 59 year-old patient was admitted with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The clinical exam showed mild hypotension and blood samples revealed acute anemia (hemoglobin = 7.5 g/dl). Emergency computed tomography showed an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm and extravasation of the arterial contrast material toward the digestive tract. The patient was transported to the operating room for emergency laparotomy, which showed an aortoduodenal fistula. After proximal and distal aortic vascular control, the two anatomical structures were dissected with duodenorrhaphy, patch repair of the aortic tear and omentum interposition. The postoperative recovery was uneventful, with discharge after 12 days.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/AIMS: It is sometimes difficult to incise the distal papillary roof (PR) completely in patients with choledocholiths and choledochoduodenal fistula (CDF). The Iso-Tome(R) (MTW-Endoskopie W. Haag KG), which is helpful in preventing electrical leakage, has good orientation capabilities and can be easily placed at the orifice of the CDF or ampulla of Vater (AV). We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) with the Iso-Tome(R) for cutting the distal PR. METHODS: Between May 2003 and July 2012, 35 patients were analyzed retrospectively. The distal PR was cut downward and/or upward using the Iso-tome(R) until the pink intrapapillary mucosa was fully exposed. Downward incisions were performed from the opening of the CDF to the orifice of the AV; upward incisions were performed in reverse. RESULTS: Spontaneous or artificial CDF occurred in four and 31 patients, respectively. The technical and therapeutic success rates were 94.3% (33/35) and 94.3% (33/35), respectively. There was no case of electrical damage to the pink intrapapillary mucosa. Adverse events occurred in 2.9% (1/35; 1, mild bleeding) of patients. CONCLUSIONS: The new technique of ES with the Iso-tome(R) is feasible and useful for effectively incising the distal PR in patients with CDF and choledocholiths.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: duodenal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies, usually originate in the 2nd -3rd portion of the duodenum. The prenatal echography diagnosis shows a cyst in the right hypochondrium, and we should perform a differential diagnosis with other pathologies. Prenatal diagnosis will allow a correct and precocious postnatal management. Elective excision is the treatment of election preventing the development of complications. Clinical case: We present a rare case of duplication of the first portion of the duodenum that required precocious excision because obstruction to gastric emptying.


Introducción: Los quistes de duplicidad duodenal son anomalías congênitas raras, que generalmente se originan en la 2ª-3ª porción duodenal. Ante el hallazgo en la ecografía prenatal de un quiste en hipocondrio derecho se debe realizar un diagnóstico diferencial con otras patologías. El diagnóstico prenatal, permitirá un correcto y precoz manejo postnatal. La exéresis electiva es el tratamiento de elección evitando la aparición de complicaciones posteriores. Caso clínico: Presentamos un caso excepcional de duplicidad de la primera porción duodenal, que precisó de exêresis precoz por causar obstrucción al vaciamiento gástrico.

ABSTRACT

Buck&round: Duodenal tuberculosis accounts for <2% of abdominal tuberculosis and usually manifests with recurrent vomiting. Existing guidelines suggest surgery as the mainstay for both obtaining a definitive diagnosis as well as for therapy. Aims: The aim of this prospective study was to describe the clinical presentation and usefulness of endoscopic techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of duodenal tuberculosis. Methods: Data of patients diagnosed to have duodenal tuberculosis over a three-year-period were analysed for age, presenting symptoms and outcome of therapy. Diagnosis was based on histological evidence of granulomatous inflammation along with unequivocal improvement in vomiting and other symptoms over six-eight weeks following a combination of anti-tubercular drug therapy and endoscopic balloon dilatation. Results: Ten patients with recurrent vomiting (median age 27 years) were diagnosed to have duodenal tuberculosis. Significant narrowing was seen at endoscopy in nine patients with post bulbar area being the commonest site in five patients. Histological diagnosis of granulomatous duodenitis was possible in nine (90%) patients. Balloon dilatation achieved resumption of normal diet at a median duration of seven days (range 2-40). Symptomatic improvement was substantiated by a median increase in BMI of 5 kg/m2 over the baseline value. Surgical intervention was not required in any patient. Conclusions : Recurrent vomiting due to gastric outlet obstruction is the commonest presentation of duodenal tuberculosis. Endoscopically, a histological diagnosis of granulomatous inflammation can be achieved in most of the patients. Endoscopic balloon dilatation coupled with anti-tubercular drug therapy is safe and effective treatment for this uncommon disease.

ABSTRACT

Internal hernias cause 1 percent of intestinal obstructions with aproximately 50 percent of these hernias been paraduodenal hernias. Paraduodenal hernias are the product of a malrotation of the midgut during embryogenesis or a non-fusion of the peritoneal folds. These type of internal hernia are more cornmon in males and on the left side of the abdomen. The usual presentation age is in the 4th decade of life. The clinical presentation of these patients is non specific and varies, ranging from mild dyspepsia to intestinal perforation and septic shock. The radiographic studies of these patients show a dumping of the intestinal loops on the upper quadrant of the abdomen with an image of abdominal compartamentalization. The surgical management of these patients should follow three simple principles. The intestines should be reduced, their perfusion and viability must be verified and the hernia sack entrance should be repaired with interrupted non absorbable sutures.


Las hernias internas causan el 1 por ciento de las obstrucciones intestinales. De estas, aproximadamente la mitad son causadas por hernias paraduodenales. Las hernias paraduodenales son producto de una embriogénesis defectuosa, donde el intestino no rota o los pliegues mesentéricos no se fusionan adecuadamente. Estas hernias son más comunes en el género masculino, del lado izquierdo y por lo general se diagnostican en la cuarta década de la vida. La presentación clínica es inespecífica con manifestaciones que varían desde la dispepsia hasta la perforación intestinal y el choque séptico. Los estudios de imagen muestran el agrupamiento de las asas intestinales en el abdomen superior dando una imagen de compartamentalización de la cavidad abdominal. Para el manejo quirúrgico de estos pacientes se debe reducir el intestino herniado, verificar que este sea viable y posea una adecuada perfusión y reparar el orificio hemiario con material no absorbible.

ABSTRACT

Juxta-ampullary diverticulum is an acquisitive disorder generally observed in patients over the age of forty years. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between this abnormality and the incidence of post-ERCP complications. This was a case-control cross-sectional study that compared post- ERCP complications between patients with juxta-ampullary diverticula and those with no juxta-ampullary diverticula. We classified diverticula based on anatomic locations with respect to the ampulla. A total of 718 patients referred to our endoscopic ward during one year for ERCP. From these cases, 685 patients underwent ERCP. A total of 47 [6.9%] patients had juxta-ampullary diverticuli, which consisted of type A [25.5%], type B [46.8%], type C [12.8%] and type D [14.9%]. The frequency of CBD stones and cholangitis in the case group was significantly more than die control group [p<0.00l]. The mean age of patients in the case group was ten years older than patients in die control group [68.04dbl5.02 vs. 58.25 +/- 17.48], which was significant [p<0.00l]. There is an association between juxta-ampullary diverticula and the frequency of CBD stones and post-ERCP complications

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Nowadays the utility of laparoscopic pancreatic surgery is accepted for a wide variety of indications. However pancreaticoduodenectomy has been considered beyond the possibilities of laparoscopy by the majority of surgeons. The objective of this report is to show our surgical technique and initial experience with totally laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. Material and Methods: Between November of 2007 and June of 2008, a laparoscopic technique was offered to patients with indication of pancreaticoduodenectomy for different pathologies. We describe the surgical technique, perioperative care, intraoperative complications, need for conversion to open technique, mortality, and early postoperative complications. Results: A total of three patients were subjected to laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. The surgical indication was an ampullar adenocarcinoma in a 52 years old woman, a pseudopapilar tumor of the pancreatic head in a 17 years oíd woman, and a duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumor in a 63 years oíd man. There was no need for conversion to open technique. There was no mortality. The operative time ranged from 300 to 360 min. The first patient presented an upper gastrointestinal bleeding, from pancreatic anastomoses requiring surgical hemostasis. The last patient developed a self-limited biliary fistula, managed successfully with drains. The hospital stay varied from 8 to 25 days. Discussion: Totally laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is a feasible procedure, replicating the same steps of open surgery in a reasonable operative time, and with surgical results comparable with open technique.


Introducción: Actualmente la utilidad de la laparoscopía en la cirugía pancreática es ampliamente aceptada en diversas áreas; sin embargo, la pancreatoduodenectomía había sido considerada un procedimiento fuera de las posibilidades de laparoscopía por la mayoría de los cirujanos. El objetivo de este trabajo es dar a conocer la técnica quirúrgica y nuestra experiencia inicial con la pancreatoduodenectomía totalmente laparoscópica. Material y Métodos: Desde noviembre del 2007 hasta junio del 2008, se ofreció la vía de abordaje laparoscópica a pacientes con indicación de pancreatoduodenectomía curativa por diversas patologías. Se describe la técnica quirúrgica utilizada, el manejo perioperatorio, complicaciones intraoperatorias, necesidad de conversión a técnica abierta, mortalidad y complicaciones precoces. Resultados: Total = 3 pacientes. La indicación de cirugía fue por un adenoma ampular en una mujer de 52 años, un tumor pseudopapilar de cabeza de páncreas en una mujer de 17 años y un tumor estromal gastrointestinal duodenal en un hombre de 63 años. No se requirió de conversión a técnica abierta en ningún caso. No hubo mortalidad postoperatoria. Los tiempos operatorios variaron entre 300-360 min. La primera paciente presentó una hemorragia digestiva alta por sangrado del muñón pancreático, requiriendo reoperación. El último paciente presentó una fístula biliar autolimitada, manejada con drenajes. La estadía hospitalaria varió entre 8 y 25 días. Discusión: La pancreatoduodenectomía totalmente laparoscópica es técnicamente factible de realizar, replicando los mismos pasos de la técnica abierta, en un tiempo operatorio razonable, y obteniendo resultados quirúrgicos comparables a la técnica abierta.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a major procedure with significant mortality and morbidity. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a safe procedure for a variety of periampullary conditions at Sawanpracharak Hospital. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate complications, morbidity, and mortality. The effects of clinical and variables related to patient mortality. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Retrospective medical records review of 52 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at Sawanpracharak Hospital between February 2000 and November 2006 was conducted. Of these, 12 patients who died after pancreaticoduodenectomy were studied. RESULTS: Of 52 cases, 29 males and 23 females, the median age was 64 years (age range, 32-82 years). Median operative time was 3.70 hours (range, 2.0-9.5 hours). Pathological examination demonstrated 38.46% ampullary cancer 26.92% pancreatic cancer, 1.92% duodenal cancer, 11.54% periampullary cancer, 3.85% gastric cancer, 1.92% gastrointestinal stromal tumor, 5.77% chronic pancreatitis, 1.92% cystadenoma of pancreas, 1.92 chronic gastric ulcer, 1.92% leiomyoma of duodenum, and 3.85% no pathologic report. Fifty percent of patients underwent pylorus preservation pancreaticoduodenectomy. Postoperative complications occurred in 40.38% of patients, including intraabdominal abscess (19.05%), pancreatic fistula (14.29%), bowel fistula (9.52%), internal bleeding (9.52,%), sepsis (9.52%), superior mesenteric occlusion (4.76%), bile fistula (4.76%), cholangitis (4.76%), acute renal failure (14.29%), pneumonia (4.76%), acute myocardial infarction (4.76%), and additional surgery was required in 13.46% of patients. Overall perioperative mortality was 23.08% with only one patient with benign disease (chronic pancreatitis) died postoperatively. Underlying medical disease conditions did not influence postoperative morbidity or mortality. Natures of surgical complications were indicated as causes of significant higher mortality. The median follow-up for patients was 3.37 months (range, 0.5-65.7 months, mean 8.71 +/- 13.66 months). CONCLUSION: Pancreaticoduodenectomy still causes considerable morbidity and mortality. With careful patient selection, preoperative assessment of respectability, surgical technique, critical care anesthesia, and postoperative care, pancreaticoduodenectomy can be performed safely and improve the results to an acceptable level.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Duodenal diverticulum is a little-known pathology. The duodenum represents second place in frequency for the presence of diverticula in the digestive tract after the colon. Duodenal diverticulum as a cause of hemorrhage of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract has been described as an infrequent complication, although it must be considered in patients with digestive hemorrhage without evident cause at the esophagogastric level. Localization of diverticula in the third or fourth portions of the duodenum is rare and the diverticula are asymptomatic in 90% of cases. Diagnosis is made by endoscopy, contrast X-rays of the upper GI tract, selective arteriography and as a transoperative finding. The objective of this study was to identify and analyze the clinical presentation of duodenal diverticulum to familiarize surgeons and gastroenterologists when there is suspicion of the diagnosis. CLINICAL CASE: We report the case of an 85-year-old female presenting with massive upper GI tract hemorrhage and chronic abdominal pain due to a duodenal diverticulum located in the third portion of the duodenum. Diagnosis was made with upper GI barium series because visualization of the diverticulum was not possible by endoscopy. Other therapeutic options are described in the literature. A successful simple diverticulectomy, manually opened with a two-plane transversal incision, was performed on the patient. After >12 months of follow-up, the patient is completely asymptomatic. DISCUSSION: Clinical diagnosis presents difficulty because a classic presentation does not exist. Symptoms are generally vague, <10% of the duodenal diverticulum are frankly symptomatic, and <1 to 2% will require surgical resolution. CONCLUSIONS: Hemorrhage of the upper GI tract and chronic abdominal pain secondary to duodenal diverticulum present with recurrence and may be associated with the presence of duodenal diverticulum when other sources of bleeding are not found.

ABSTRACT

Mirror image transposition of abdominal and thoracic viscera is termed situs inversus. Duodenal obstruction in situs inversus is rare. A preduodenal portal vein, though not uncommon in situs inversus, rarely causes duodenal obstruction. Where obstruction by a preduodenal portal vein is diagnosed, a duodeno-duodenostomy is the recommended treatment. A duodenal diaphragm and other more common causes of duodenal obstruction should also be excluded in these patients.

ABSTRACT

Las glándulas de Brunner son estructuras túbulo-acinares ubicadas en la submucosa del duodeno. Secretan factores de crecimiento epidérmicos y un fluido alcalino que protege el epitelio duodenal de los jugos gástricos. Su crecimiento excesivo normalmente no da síntomas o éstos son mínimos, sin embargo, en ocasiones puede llegar a ser causa de hemorragia digestiva e incluso de obstrucción intestinal. El diagnóstico de esta patología es por lo general un hallazgo durante procedimientos endoscópicos , aunque la imagenología puede ser de gran ayuda. Pese a que no se han reportado casos de transformación maligna, la literatura describe que su tratamiento puede ser la observación en casos de lesiones pequeñas que no producen síntomas y en quienes la biopsia es categórica del diagnóstico. Dichas lesiones pueden ser tributarias de tratamiento endoscópico, reservando la cirugía clásica para tumores muy grandes, en casos de duda diagnóstica, cuando existen complicaciones o por fracaso de la técnica endoscópica. El resultado de las intervenciones es generalmente excelente sin existir hasta el momento estudios que señalen una recurrencia de las lesiones.
