ABSTRACT

To evaluate the success rate of hydrostatic reduction of intussusception and incidence of complications in late presenting cases. Prospective study. Study was carried out in Armed Forces Institute of Radiology and Imaging Rawalpindi and different Combine Military Hospitals during last 5 years. All the children up to 2 years age with diagnosis of ileo-colic intussusception and 3 days or less history of onset of symptoms were included in the study. Patients with signs of perforation, suspicion of lead point or long intussusceptum protruding through rectum were excluded. After plain film evaluation, thin barium was instilled through Foleys catheter under fluoroscopic guidance. Rule of 3 was followed and reduction was considered successful when contrast refluxed into terminal ileal segment. Follow up plain x-ray and ultrasound was done after 48 hours to rule out recurrence. Hydrostatic reduction was successful in 18 out of 21 patients collected during last five years. Reduction was incomplete in one case while perforation was observed in 2 cases. These complications were observed in the largest group [52%] of patients reporting on 3rd day of onset of symptoms. A significant number [38%] of patients reached the hospital within 48 hours. Only 2 [10%] patients presented in first 24 hrs but uneventful reduction was possible in later two groups. Careful hydrostatic reduction in cases of ileo-colic intussusception reporting within 72 hrs will reduce hospital stay and patient morbidity in most of the cases

ABSTRACT

El pólipo fibroide inflamatorio es un tumor benigno poco frecuente del tubo digestivo, descripto por Vanek en 1949. Son lesiones de etiología desconocida, originadas en la submucosa. Están formadas por células mononucleares y mesenquimatosas con citoplasma fusocelular, con una importante proporción de eosinófilos. Sus síntomas son variables, dependiendo de su localización, y son una r ara causa de intususcepción intestinal en adultos. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 82 años, que sufrió una rara intususcepción de intestino delgado, originada en un pólipo fibroide inflamatorio.


Inflammatory fibroid polyps are non-frequent benign lesions, described by Vanek in 1949, originated in the sub mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. They have an uncertain origin and they are formed of fibroblastic and mesenchymal proliferations with an important eosinophilic proportion. Depending on where are they localized, could present different type of symptoms. The inflammatory fibroid polyps are one of the rare benign conditions causing intestinal intussusception in adults.We present the case of a 82 years old woman, who presented an intestinal intussusception due to an inflammatory fibroid polyp localized in the small bowel.

ABSTRACT

Intestinal intussusception is infrequent in adults. Unlike what happens in kids, it shows a demonstrable etiology in most cases: polyps, lipomas, hamartomas, malignancies, etc. Among diagnostic methods, CT scan is the study that yields the best results for the diagnosis, giving forth pathognomonic signs and favoring therapeutic decision-making. Two cases of intestinal intussusception in adults secondary to benign pathology are analyzed, stressing mainly the tomographic findings and some considerations about therapeutic decision-making based on tomographic results.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La invaginación intestinal es una patología de causa idiopática en el 95 por ciento de los casos, encontrándose en el 5 por ciento restante algún factor desencadenante que la justifique. Las recurrencias se presentan en un 7 a 12 por ciento de los casos y se asocian a múltiples causas. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar el caso de un paciente con invaginación intestinal recurrente y analizar la causa de la recurrencia. Caso clínico: Paciente de 1 año y 4 meses de edad, sexo masculino, con antecedente de primer episodio de Invaginación intestinal operado a los 4 meses de edad. Presenta segundo episodio de invaginación a los 9 meses de edad, la cual se trató con desinvaginación neumática y a los 16 meses de edad presentó su tercer episodio, manejandose con desinvaginación hidrostática. Ocho horas post procedimiento el paciente presentó nueva invaginación; se realizó reducción manual quirúrgica. Se encontró una invaginación ileocólica con un remanente apendicular intracecal actuando como cabeza invaginante. Se reseco remanente y se envió a biopsia. Conclusiones: La invaginación intestinal recurrente se asocia a factores anatómicos desencadenantes, por lo cual al presentar recurrencias se debe tener en consideración una posible causa orgánica, ante lo cual se recomienda el tratamiento quirúrgico.


Introduction: Intussusception is an idiopathic pathology that accounts for 95 percent of cases found; the remaining 5 percent is caused by some triggering events. Recurrences occur in 7 to 12 percent of cases and are associated with multiple causes. The aim of this research is to present the case of a patient with recurrent intussusception and analyze the cause of the recurrence. Case report: The patient was a 16 month-old male infant with a history of first episode of intussusception surgery at 4 months old. His second intussusception episode took place at 9 months of age, which was treated with pneumatic reduction process; at 16 months of age he presented his third episode, which was treated with hydrostatic reduction process. 8 hours post procedure, the patient had a new intussusception condition and surgical manual reduction was performed. Ileocolic intussusception was found with an appendiceal intrathecal remnant acting as the invaginating head. Remnant was removed and sent for biopsy. Conclusions: Recurrent intussusception is associated with triggering anatomical factors; therefore, in the case of recurrences, a possible organic cause should be considered and surgical treatment is recommended.

ABSTRACT

Adult intussusception is an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction. It usually presents with longstanding, intermittent and non-specific symptoms with subsequent delay in diagnosis and management. Diagnosis is often made at emergency laparotomy and an underlying lesion is found in most cases. With more frequent use of computed tomography in the evaluation of patients with abdominal pain, the condition can now be diagnosed more reliably at an earlier stage and this is of importance as 50% of adult intussusceptions are due to malignancy. We report a case of a 55-year-old lady who presented to the emergency department with ileocolic intussusception which was diagnosed on CT scan and necessitated an emergency right hemicolectomy. The leading point was a small cecal cancer reflecting the importance of early intervention and resection in cases of adult intussusception. This case also highlights the fact that early cecal cancer may first present and declare itself as intussusceptions

ABSTRACT

Determinar la eficacia de la técnica para cura del rectocele por vía transanal usando la máquina PPH®. Estudio realizado en la Unidad de Coloprotología del Hospital Universitario de Caracas. Estudio prospectivo, descriptivo, realizado entre mayo de 2007 y abril de 2009, cuya población estuvo conformada por 62 mujeres con diagnóstico de rectocele, que presentaban sintomatología importante de síndrome de defecación obstruida (SDO), a las cuales se realizó de estreñimiento tiempo de tránsito colónico (TTC), ciego móvil y defecografía. Fueron intervenidas 20 pacientes haciendo uso de la técnica vía transanal con máquina autosuturadora de 33 mm (PPH). El rectocele grado II ocupó el 77% de los casos. El principal motivo de consulta fue la sensación de evacuación incompleta 74% seguida de la digitalización con 41% ambos síntomas del síndrome de defecación obstruida. Entre las patologías asociadas se encuentran principalmente: hemorroides (59,3%), cistocele (46%), intususcepción o prolapso mucoso (49%). Todos los pacientes intervenidos fueron corregidos por técnica vía transanal haciendo uso de la máquina de PPH 33 mm, de los cuales a 40% se le realizó adicionalmente cura del tiempo posterior, 20% cecopexia y a 5% fistulotomía. El 59% de las pacientes presentó mejoría de los síntomas de defecación obstruida antes de los siete días del postoperatorio, y el resto entre 7 y 15 días. El 45% presentó dolor que cedió con AINES, 25% tuvo urgencia defecatoria y una paciente (5%) presentó estenosis anal resuelta posteriormente. Se demostró que la técnica para cura de rectocele por vía transanal con máquina PPH, tiene una tasa de éxito con resultados satisfactorios de un 95%, con complicaciones menores.


To determinate the efficient of the transanal approach technique to cure rectocele using the PPH machine. Study performed in the Coloproctology Unit at the Hospital Universitario of Caracas. A prospective, descriptive, study carried out on 62 women with rectocele and symptoms of outiet obstruction syndrome (OOS), betwen may 2007 and april 2009. Colonic transit time (CTT), move cecum and defecografy was to each patient. Of these 62 patients, 20 were operated on using the transanal approach technique with the PPH machine and we determited the efficient of that. Of these 62 patients studied, rectocele grade II occupied 77%, the mean symptom was incomplete evacuated sensation (74%), following of digitalization (41%) both symptoms of OOS. We found other pathologies associated like hemorrhoids (59,3%), cistocele (46%), intususcepción or mucosal prolapse (49%). In all the patients operated we used the transanal approach with PPH machine 33 mm; of these patients, 40% we did posterior time cure. 20% cecopexy and 5% fistulotomy. A 59% improved the symptoms of OOS before 7 days and 41% between 7 and 15 days. A 45% of the patients had pain that relieved with AINES, 25% defecatory urgency and one patient stricture that was cure after. We demostrated that the transanal approach technique for rectocele using the PPH machine had low percentage of complications and good results.

ABSTRACT

La invaginación se define como la penetración de una porción del intestino, en otro generalmente distal, puesto que la misma sigue los movimientos peristálticos enterales. Es una causa frecuente de obstrucción intestinal. En lactantes y preescolares. La mayor parte de las intususcepciones son ileocólicas, seguidas por la ileoileal y colococólica. Se pueden identificar un punto guía específico en aproximadamente el 5 por ciento de los pacientes, más comúnmente en las invaginaciones ileoileales. Un divertículo de Meckel es el punto guía más común y en orden de frecuencia los pólipos, las duplicaciones intestinales, los linfomas, la hemorragia submucosa secundaria a púrpura de Henoch y los hemangiomas. Es más común durante el primer año de vida. La mayor incidencia ocurre en lactantes entre 5 y 10 meses de edad, con una relación 4:1, hombres: mujeres. La incidencia varía de 1,5-4 por 1000 nacimientos vivos. El diagnóstico puede realizarse por el cuadro clínico, examen físico, coadyuvado con los signos radiológicos y ecosonográficos. El tratamiento puede ser de tipo médico o quirúrgico. Presentamos el caso de un paciente preescolar femenino de 4 años de edad quien ingresa con cuadro clínico de obstrucción intestinal siendo llevada a mesa operatoria teniendo como hallazgos intususcepción con punto guía un linfoma intestinal no Hodgkin.

ABSTRACT

La intususcepción o invaginación colorrectal es una patología de baja frecuencia. Se manifiesta por dificultad y obstrucción en la defecación, acompañado de eliminación de sangre y mucus por el recto. Se diagnostica mediante el examen digital y endoscópico del recto. Se presenta un paciente de 70 años operado de una patología de origen biliar, que en el postoperatorio inmediato debuta con síntomas del área coloproctológica. El tacto rectal y la rectoscopía revelan la presencia de un tumor sigmoideo que provoca la intususcepción de éste en la ampolla rectal. Se opera realizándose una resección anterior de recto y anastomosis colorrectal con sutura mecánica.

ABSTRACT

La invaginación intestinal es la penetración de una porción intestinal en otra adyacente. Es poco frecuente en adultos y en un 80-90 por ciento de los casos es de origen tumoral. Clínicamente se manifiesta como una obstrucción. A propósito de cuatro casos, los autores destacan las características más relevantes de ésta entidad, la utilidad de la tomografía computada (TC) y el ultrasonido (US) para su diagnóstico y posterior confirmación quirúrgico-patológica. En TC existen tres patrones diferentes que reflejan su severidad y duración: el signo de Target, masa en forma de salchicha y masa reniforme. Los patrones ecográficos son el pseudorriñón, rosquilla y luna creciente, siendo éste último, el único signo ecográfico distintivo de ésta enfermedad. La presencia de flujo Doppler sugiere que la intususcepción podría ser reducida. La presencia de fluído peritoneal significa isquemia e irreductibilidad. Tanto la TC como el US demuestran ser métodos sensibles y específicos en el diagnóstico, definición de la etiología y evaluación de las complicaciones

ABSTRACT

Eleven patients of Henoch-Schonlein purpura presented with surgical conditions between 1988-1994. Of these, three patients, two presenting with gastrointestinal haemorrhage and one with an acute scrotum, were managed conservatively whereas eight patients required laparotomy. The latter group included 5 intussusceptions and one intestinal perforation. The remaining 2 patients had haemorrhagic, but viable, bowel. Continuous evaluation by a surgeon is invaluable in prompt management of these uncommon but potentially lethal complications

ABSTRACT

Between the period from 1974 to 1991, the number of cases of intestinal intussusception presented to the Pediatric Surgical Unit of Alexandria University, amounted to 915. The analysis of sex incidence gave a male to female ratio of 1: 0.55. The seasonal incidence showed a peak in spring. The analysis of the management whether conservative by hydrostatic barium or ultrasound saline reduction, or by surgery yielded the success rates, morbidity and mortality shown in the text. The advent of noninvasive ultrasound guided saline hydrostatic reduction changed the outcome and management plan of intussusception as well as the prognosis
