Clinical features of intestinal polyps and risk factors for secondary intussusception in children: an analysis of 2 669 cases / 中国当代儿科杂志

OBJECTIVES@#To study the clinical features of intestinal polyps and the risk factors for secondary intussusception in children.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was performed for the medical data of 2 669 children with intestinal polyps. According to the presence or absence of secondary intussusception, they were divided into two groups: intussusception (n=346) and non-intussusception (n=2 323). Related medical data were compared between the two groups. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for secondary intussusception.@*RESULTS@#Among the children with intestinal polyps, 62.42% were preschool children, and the male/female ratio was 2.08∶1; 92.66% had hematochezia as disease onset, and 94.34% had left colonic polyps and rectal polyps. There were 346 cases of secondary intussusception, with an incidence rate of 12.96% (346/2 669). Large polyps (OR=1.644, P<0.001), multiple polyps (≥2) (OR=6.034, P<0.001), and lobulated polyps (OR=93.801, P<0.001) were the risk factors for secondary intussusception.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Intestinal polyps in children often occur in preschool age, mostly in boys, and most of the children have hematochezia as disease onset, with the predilection sites of the left colon and the rectum. Larger polyps, multiple polyps, and lobulated polyps may increase the risk of secondary intussusception, and endoscopic intervention is needed as early as possible to improve prognosis.

Pancreatitis aguda debido a intususcepción gastroduodenal / Acute pancreatitis due to gastroduodenal intussusception

Introducción: Los pólipos gástricos adenomatosos son poco frecuentes y generalmente se encuentran en el examen endoscópico de rutina. La intususcepción gastroduodenal es una complicación poco frecuente de los pólipos gástricos y ha sido raramente descrita como una causa de pancreatitis aguda. Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de un varón de 68 años el cual ingresa de urgencia con dolor abdominal, náuseas y vómitos catalogados en un inicio como pancreatitis aguda de etiología biliar; incidentalmente se descubre un pólipo gástrico pediculado intususceptado a duodeno como causa de la pancreatitis aguda. Se realizó tratamiento endoscópico de urgencia y tratamiento definitivo con cirugía abierta.

Introduction: Adenomatous gastric polyps are uncommon and are usually found in the routine endoscopic examination. Gastroduodenal intussusception is a rare complication of those gastric polyps and has rarely been described as a cause of acute pancreatitis. Case report: We present the case of a 68 year old man who admitted to emergency with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting initially classified as acute biliary pancreatitis etiology; a pedunculated gastric polyp intussuscepted into duodenum as a cause of acute pancreatitis was incidentally discovered, emergency endoscopic treatment and definitive treatment with open surgery was performed.

Prolapso rectal en Honduras: informe de caso y revisión de literatura / Rectal prolapse in Honduras: case presentation and Review of Literature

Antecedentes. El prolapso rectal es la invaginación de capas del recto a través del canal anal y su protrusión fuera de éste, entidad comúnmente vista en pacientes de cualquier edad, más frecuente en menores con igual distribución en ambos sexos y adultos mayores.Objetivo. Presentar caso de prolapso rectal en menor de edad, discutir manejo quirúrgico realizado y revisar el tema. Caso clínico. Paciente de 4 años de edad que al examen físico se confirmó prolapso recurrente rectal, con factores predisponentes de desnutrición, anemia severa, disentería y huevos de Trichuris trichiura en un examen de heces. Se decidió llevar la paciente a quirófano para realizarle reducción manual y cerclaje anal, considerando que este procedimiento era de menor riesgo para la paciente y práctico de realizar. Conclusión. Se asume que la desnutrición aguda y crónica, la anemia severa y una infección intestinal por Trichuris trichiura, sin descartar otros agentes etiológicos, propiciaron el prolapso rectal. El manejo quirúrgico fue exitoso y la paciente continuó mejorando los parámetros nutricionales.

TRREMS procedure (transanal repair of rectocele and rectal mucosectomy with one circular stapler): a prospective multicenter trial / Procedimento TRREMS (reparo transanal de retocele e mucosectomia retal com um grampeador circular): estudo multicêntrico prospectivo

CONTEXT: Since anorectocele is usually associated with mucosa prolapse and/or rectal intussusceptions, it was developed a stapled surgical technique using one circular stapler. OBJECTIVE: To report the results of Transanal Repair of Rectocele and Rectal Mucosectomy with one Circular Stapler (TRREMS procedure) in the treatment of anorectocele with mucosa prolapse in a prospective multicenter trial. METHODS: It was conducted by 14 surgeons and included 75 female patients, mean aged 49.6 years, with symptoms of obstructed defecation due to grade 2 (26.7 percent) and grade 3 (73.3 percent) anorectocele associated with mucosa prolapse and/or rectal intussusception (52.0 percent) and an average validated Wexner constipation score of 16. All patients were evaluated by a proctological examination, cinedefecography, anal manometry and colonic transit time. The TRREMS procedure consists of the manual removal of the rectocele wall with circumferential rectal mucosectomy performed with a circular stapler. The mean follow-up time was 21 months. RESULTS: All patients presented obstructed defecation and they persisted with symptoms despite conservative treatment. The mean operative time was 42 minutes. In 13 (17.3 percent) patients, bleeding from the stapled line required hemostatic suture. Stapling was incomplete in 2 (2.6 percent). Forty-nine patients (65.3 percent) required 1 hospitalization day, the remainder (34.7 percent) 2 days. Postoperatively, 3 (4.0 percent) patients complained of persistent rectal pain and 7 (9.3 percent) developed stricture on the stapled suture subsequently treated by stricturectomy under anesthesia (n = 1), endoscopic stricturectomy with hot biopsy forceps (n = 3) and digital dilatation (n = 3). Postoperative cinedefecography showed residual grade I anorectoceles in 8 (10.6 percent). The mean Wexner constipation score decreased significantly from 16 to 4 (0-4: n = 68) (6: n = 6) (7: n = 1) (P<0.0001). CONCLUSION: Current trial results suggest that TRREMS procedure is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of anorectocele associated with mucosa prolapse. The stapling technique is low-cost as requires the use of a single circular stapler.

CONTEXTO: Como a anoretocele está sempre associada a prolapso mucoso e/ou intussuscepção retal, foi desenvolvida uma técnica cirúrgica grampeada, utilizando somente um grampeador mecânico. OBJETIVO: Demonstrar os resultados do estudo multicêntrico que realizou o tratamento cirúrgico de pacientes com anorretocele associado a prolapso mucoso, utilizando o reparo transanal da retocele e mucosectomia com grampeador circular mecânico. MÉTODO: Foram incluídos 75 pacientes, média de idade 49,6 anos, com sintomas de evacuação obstruída, apresentando escore médio de constipação de Wexner de 16 e diagnóstico de anorretocele grau II (26.7 por cento), grau III (73,3 por cento) associado a prolapso mucoso e intussuscepção (52 por cento). Todos foram avaliados com exame proctológico, defecografia, manometria anorretal e tempo de trânsito colônico. O procedimento cirúrgico foi realizado por 14 cirurgiões e consiste na remoção manual da parede do reto no local da retocele e mucosectomia circunferencial com um grampeador circular mecânico. O seguimento médio foi de 21 meses. RESULTADOS: Os pacientes apresentavam sintomas de evacuação obstruída, mesmo após tratamento clinico. O tempo operatório médio foi de 42 minutos. Houve sangramento transanal na linha de sutura em 13 (17,3 por cento) pacientes, sutura grampeada incompleta em 2 (2,6 por cento) e dor retal persistente em 3 (4,0 por cento). O tempo médio de internação hospitalar foi de 1 dia em 49 (65,3 por cento) e 2 dias em 34,7 por cento. Ocorreu redução na linha de sutura em 7 (9,3 por cento), sendo necessário estricturotomia cirúrgica sob anestesia (n = 1), utilizando "hot biopsy" (n = 3) e dilatação anal (3). Defecografia no pós-operatório demonstrou anorretocele residual grau I em 8 (10.6 por cento). O escore de constipação de Wexner reduziu 16 para 4 (0-4: n = 68) (6: n = 6) (7: n = 1) (P<0.0001). CONCLUSÃO: O resultado do estudo multicêntrico demonstrou que a técnica cirúrgica apresentada é segura e efetiva para tratamento da anorretocele associada a prolapso mucoso. Apresenta baixo custo pois utiliza um grampeador circular mecânico.

A Case of Jeujunogastric Intussusception Presented with Hematemesis after Distal Gastrectomy / 대한소화기학회지

Adult intussusception represents 5% of all cases of intussusception and accounts for only 1-5% intestinal obstructions. Intussusception is a rare complication after gastric surgery with an incidence estimated at 0.1%. Early diagnosis of the acute onset intussusception is critical because mortality rates increase abruptly with delay in surgical treatment. We present here a case of jejunogastric intussusception diagnosed by gastroscopy in a patient with a history of distal gastrectomy due to early gastric cancer who had experienced hematemesis.

CT Findings of Colonic Complications Associated with Colon Cancer

A broad spectrum of colonic complications can occur in patients with colon cancer. Clinically, some of these complications can obscure the presence of underlying malignancies in the colon and these complications may require emergency surgical management. The complications of the colon that can be associated with colon cancer include obstruction, perforation, abscess formation, acute appendicitis, ischemic colitis and intussusception. Although the majority of these complications only rarely occur, familiarity with the various manifestations of colon cancer complications will facilitate making an accurate diagnosis and administering prompt management in these situations. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to review the CT appearance of the colonic complications associated with colon cancer.

Acute intussusception in children seen at El Obeid Hospital, Western Sudan

To study the pattern, clinical presentations and management outcomes of childhood intussusception seen at El Obeid Hospital, Western Sudan. This is a retrospective descriptive study. The medical records of children who presented with intussusception during 2004 to 2007 at the University Surgical Unit, in El Obeid Teaching Hospital were reviewed. The data were analyzed for gender, age, clinical presentations and treatment outcomes. There were 24 children, males were 14. Infants constituted 71% of the study group. Patients came from rural areas, mainly during the dry season. They had their symptoms for more than 36 hours, were seen and initially treated elsewhere and only 41% presented with classical clinical features. All patients were operated and found to have ileocolic intussusceptions, with no pathologic lead point. 54.2% of cases had resection and anastomosis for bowel ischaemia, while in 45.8% manual reduction was done. The post-operative mortality was 16.7%. Conclusions: Childhood intussusception was common in male infants from rural areas in the dry season. Late presentation to the surgeon necessitated major operative procedures for bowel ischaemia with considerable morbidity and mortality

Adult idiopathic ileosigmoid intussusception prolapsing per rectum.

Ileosigmoid intussusception can lead to ischemia and necrosis of either the ileum or sigmoid colon. Ileosigmoid intussusception as a mass prolapsing per rectum in an adult has not been previously reported. We report a 50-year-old man with such a presentation. He recovered uneventfully after subtotal colectomy.

Torsión del apéndice cecal asociada a invaginación intestinal / Torsion of the vermiform appendix associated with intussusception

La torsión del apéndice vermiforme es muy rara; en la literatura sólo han sido referidos 25 casos. El aquí informado es el primero asociado a invaginación intestinal. Se trató de una niña de dos meses de edad quien súbitamente dio muestras de dolor. En la exploración quirúrgica se encontró invaginación ileocecal apretada, que fue corregida. Cuatro días después fue necesario reoperar, encontrando torsión y perforación del apéndice cecal; se practicó apendicectomía. Por datos de obstrucción y peritonitis se requirió nueva exploración quirúrgica en la que se encontró dehiscencia del muñón y perforación cecal. Una vez corregidas estas complicaciones, la paciente evolucionó satisfactoriamente y fue dada de alta en buenas condiciones.

BACKGROUND: Vermiform appendix torsion is a rare condition, with only 25 cases recorded in the international literature. Our patient is the first case associated with intussusception. CASE REPORT: A 2-month-old female infant suddenly developed severe abdominal pain due to ileoceal intussusception. During surgical exploration, a tight intussusception was reduced. Three days later, a new laparotomy was required and we found torsion and perforation of the vermiform appendix. The patient underwent appendectomy, but there was dehiscence of the appendiceal stump and cecal perforation requiring a new surgical exploration. The patient had an uneventful recovery.

Auto-amputação de intussuscepção intestinal em adulto / Self-amputation of intestinal intussusception in adult

Intussuscepção intestinal é muito mais comum em crianças. Ocorre em 5por cento dos casos em adultos. Nesta faixa etária geralmente é associada a neoplasmas (malignos e benignos), doenças inflamatórias, divertículo de Meckel, etc. Dor abdominal, acompanhada de sintomatologia de sub ou oclusão intestinal (náuseas, vômitos, alteração do hábito intestinal e abdome distendido) são as queixas mais freqüentes. Tomografia computadorizada do abdome é o exame de maior acurácia para o diagnóstico. Normalmente a cirurgia está indicada quando do diagnóstico e geralmente a redução prévia é contra-indicada. Na presença ou na suspeita de câncer, realiza-se ressecção oncológica. Nos outros casos, ressecção segmentar simples. Os autores apresentam um caso de intussuscepção íleo-cecal, sem lesão orgânica concomitante e apresentação clínica inusitada: desintegração, por inteiro, de intussuscepto necrosado e exteriorização via anal. Houve evolução para peritonite e realizou-se hemicolectomia direita, ileostomia e fístula mucosa, com boa evolução.

Jejunogastric intussusception presenting with outlet obstruction.

A 77-year-old man presented with sudden-onset epigastric pain and bilious vomiting following a light breakfast. Vagotomy and gastrojejunostomy for bleeding duodenal ulcer had been done 22 years ago. Barium meal study suggested jejunogastric intussusception. At laparotomy, a retrograde type II jejunogastric intussusception was confirmed and managed by reduction of the intussusception, disconnection of gastrojejunostomy and resection of the jejunum. Postoperative recovery was uneventful.

Apendicitis crónica en apéndice invaginado / Chronic appendicitis and complete appendiceal invagination. UC, CT and MRI findings

La invaginación apendicular es una rara entidad, y cuando se diagnostica generalmente se encuentra alguna causa predisponente asociada. (ej. tumores, mucoceles, etc.). Se presenta el caso de una paciente de sexo femenino, de 61 años de edad, que fue estudiada por presentar dolor abdominal recurrente, localizado en la fosa ilíaca derecha. Se realizaron varios estudios, colon por enema, colonscopía, tránsito de intestino delgado, ecografía, tomografía computada y resonancia magnética. Posteriormente la cirugía, y finalmente la anatomía patológica, confirmaron el diagnóstico de una invaginación apendicular, complicada con un proceso inflamatorio crónico. No se encontró causa apendicular que predisponga a la invaginación. La invaginación apendicular y la apendicitis crónica son infrecuentes, y más aún, su asociación. Además, en esta paciente no se halló ninguna lesión predisponente. Por estos motivos, creemos que se trata de una forma de presentación inusual de la invaginación apendicular, no comunicada hasta el momento actual

Intrauterine intussusception--a cause for ileal atresia.

A case of ileal atresia consequent to intrauterine intussusception is reported. The baby presented with features of neonatal intestinal obstruction but signs of peritonitis were absent. The intussusception was discovered on gross examination of distal atretic ileal segment. The case was managed successfully by resection and end to back anastomosis. This case is reported to highlight intrauterine intussusception as one of the causes of ileal atresia.
