RESUMEN

Thrombotic microangiopathy occurs in 5-10% of patients with mucin-producing disseminated adenocarcinoma. A 28-year-old woman complained of fatigue, bone pain, and weight loss. There were pallor, icterus, and tenderness in the bones on physical examination. Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, leukoerythroblastic picture, thrombocytopenia, and normal coagulation tests were detected. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) was diagnosed and therapeutic plasma exchange was performed on the patient. On day 5 a laparotomy had to be performed because of acute abdomen due to the rupture of a corpus hemorrhagicum follicle of an ovary. Signet ring cell adenocarcinoma stained with cytokeratin 7 and mucicarmine was seen on ovaries and bone marrow, after the pathological examination. The primary site of tumor could not be investigated, because of the patient's refusal. Although chemotherapy including cis-platinum, infusional 5-fluorouracil, and calcium leucovorin were administered in two courses, she died from respiratory failure. In conclusion, malignancy and bone marrow involvement should be considered when associated with leukoerythroblastic picture and TTP.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: A hyaluronic acid/carboxymethylcellulose (HA/CMC) membrane is an effective measure to prevent polypropylene mesh induced adhesions. We hypothesized that taurolidine 2% solution might be a cost-effective alternative to decrease adhesion formation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-four rats were randomized into three groups: mesh alone (group 1), mesh + taurolidine 2% (group 2), and mesh + HA/CMC (group 3). Polypropylene mesh (4 cm2) was used to repair surgically induced anterior abdominal wall defects. Taurolidine 2%or a HA/CMC membrane was used as an antiadhesive measure. The animals were sacrificed 6 weeks after the operation, and adhesions to the prosthetic material were evaluated with digital image analysis. RESULTS: Group 1 (mesh alone) had the highest adhesion ratio (58.5 +/- 4.8%) compared with groups 2 and 3 (p < 0.05). The differences between groups 2 (mesh + taurolidine 2%; adhesion ratio 42.9 +/- 1.6%) and 3 (mesh + HA/CMC; adhesion ratio 40.3 +/- 3.0%) were not significant (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The animals of both treatment groups (2 and 3) had lower adhesion ratios compared with the controls (group 1). In particular, the HA/CMC membrane did not present with a superior antiadhesive effect compared with taurolidine. Therefore, taurolidine is a cost-effective alternative to HA/CMC membranes when a polypropylene mesh is used in direct contact with the abdominal viscera.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Elevated intra-abdominal pressure and colostomy have adverse effects on colonic anastomoses. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of laparoscopic colon surgery with and without diverting colostomy on healing of colonic anastomoses in an experimental model. METHODS: Thirty-six male rats were divided into three equal groups: group 1, control (colonic anastomosis and anaesthesia for 180 min only); group 2, 180 min pneumoperitoneum and colonic anastomosis; and group 3, similar to group 2 with a proximal colostomy. On day 7, bursting pressures, tissue hydroxyproline and nitric oxide concentrations and histopathological inflammation scores were determined and compared. RESULTS: Mean bursting pressures were higher in the control group than the two pneumoperitoneum groups (P=0.0003). Mean tissue hydroxyproline concentrations showed no difference (P>0.05). Mean tissue nitric oxide concentrations were significantly increased in the control group (P=0.0013). Histopathological scores demonstrated increased inflammatory response in group 3 compared to the controls (P=0.0009). CONCLUSION: Pneumoperitoneum delays collagen maturation and impairs anastomotic strength in the colon. Following pneumoperitoneum, performance of a diverting loop colostomy to protect the anastomosis will not have additional detrimental effects on anastomotic healing.
