ABSTRACT
Mesenteric cysts were first described in 1507 and since then remain as a rare intraabdominal pathology. The etiology of this kind of tumor is still unclear and the classification remains controversial. They are usually asymptomatic, but can also cause acute abdominal pain and sometimes need emergency surgical approach. Clinical history, physical exam and complementary tests do not always provide diagnosis, which in many cases is made after surgery. Surgical management with complete excision of the cyst is the gold standard treatment. Laparoscopy technique should be preferred whenever is possible. The knowledge of these rare tumors is important for considering the correct approach. The goals of this article is to describe a case report of mesenteric cyst presented with acute abdominal pain at the emergency and do a brief literature review about this entity.
ABSTRACT
Trata-se de um estudo caracterizado como retrospectivo, analítico, com abordagem quantitativa, com delineamento de pesquisa não experimental. Objetivo: Analisar os pacientes submetidos à cirurgia oncológica do aparelho digestivo no Hospital Geral de Fortaleza quanto ao aparecimento de infecção de sítio cirúrgico (ISC) e sugerir medidas de prevenção. Material e Métodos: Foram submetidos à cirurgia oncológica do aparelho digestório 196 indivíduos, no período de 01/10/2011 a 30/09/2012, e, analisados os possíveis fatores de risco, ligados ao paciente, ao procedimento cirúrgico e à incisão. Resultados: evidenciou-se 26 casos de infecção, com uma prevalência global de ISC de 13,26%. As seguintes variáveis apresentaram associação relevante de risco: duração do procedimento, tempo de internação pré-operatório, comorbidades, tabagismo, etilismo, uso de drenos e sondagem vesical. Conclusão: Os fatores de risco apontados neste estudo descrevem um grupo de indivíduos com maior risco de ISC, nos quais os protocolos de prevenção devem ser aplicados rigorosamente...
This is a study characterized as retrospective, analytical and quantitative approach with non-experimental research design. Objective: Analyze patients undergoing cancer surgery of the digestive tract in Hospital Geral de Fortaleza for the appearance of surgical site infection (SSI) and suggest preventive measures. Material and Methods: Underwent cancer surgery of the digestive tract 196 individuals in the period from 10/01/2011 to 09/30/2012 and analyzed the possible risk factors related to the patient, to the surgical procedure and the incision. Results: Showed up 26 cases of infection, with anoverall SSI prevalence of 13,26%. The following variables showed significant association of risk: duration of procedure, duration of preoperative hospitalization, comorbidities, smoking, alcohol consumption,use of drains and bladder catheterization. Conclusion: The risk factors indicated in this study describe a group of individuals with increased risk of SSI, in which prevention protocols should be rigorously applied...
