Tomografía computarizada multidetector urgente de la cirugía del cáncer colorrectal: Cambios posquirúrgicos y complicaciones tempranas / Urgent multidetector computed tomography in colon cancer: postsurgical changes and early complications

Las complicaciones posquirúrgicas del cáncer colorrectal son frecuentes en los servicios de urgencias. La tomografía computarizada multidetector tiene un papel fundamental en el seguimiento de los pacientes operados, ya que hace posible el reconocimiento de complicaciones y recidiva. Es importante que el radiólogo esté familiarizado con las diferentes técnicas quirúrgicas y los cambios postoperatorios normales, con objeto de diferenciarlas de potenciales complicaciones y recidivas. El objetivo de este trabajo es revisar los hallazgos en tomografía computarizada multidetector que pueden considerarse normales tras la intervención quirúrgica, y hacer una revisión de las complicaciones tempranas que con mayor frecuencia encontramos en los servicios de urgencias

Complications after surgery for colorectal cancer are common in emergency departments. Multidetector computed tomography plays a fundamental role in the follow-up of patients after surgery, because it enables the detection of relapse and complications. Radiologists need to be familiar with different surgical techniques and the normal postsurgical changes so that we can differentiate them from potential complications and relapse. This article reviews the multidetector computed tomography findings that can be considered normal after surgical intervention for colorectal cancer as well as the most common early complications seen in postsurgical colorectal cancer patients presenting at emergency departments

Cistoadenocarcinoma mucinoso retroperitoneal ocurrido a los 7 años de apendicectomía y hemicolectomía derecha / Retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma presenting seven years after appendectomy and right hemicolectomy

El cistoadenocarcinoma mucinoso retroperitoneal (CMR) sin afectación de estructuras vecinas es una patología muy infrecuente, tanto si su origen es primario como si es secundario. Describimos un caso de CMR a los 7 años de apendicectomía y hemicolectomía derecha, planteando ambas posibilidades diagnósticas (AU)

Retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (RMC) with no involvement of neighboring structures is very rare, regardless of whether the lesion is primary or secondary. We report the case of a patient who presented RMC seven years after appendectomy and right hemicolectomy. We discuss both diagnostic possibilities (AU)

[Fractures and infectious processes in the face]. / Fracturas y procesos infecciosos de la cara.

Facial trauma occurs relatively often in traffic accidents, work accidents, and aggression, causing repercussions in the functionality of the structures involved. Infectious processes require early and accurate diagnosis because they can progress quickly, leading to unexpected complications, or because of the severity of the infections themselves.

[Complex renal lithiasis: conservative surgery]. / Litiasis renal compleja: cirugía conservadora.

We report a case of complicated renal lithiasis which had been successfully treated by conservative surgery. The present case shows that this surgical procedure continues to be a valid therapeutic option for this pathology, although occasionally the new, less invasive treatment modalities that continue to develop are utilized in the treatment of renal lithiasis far beyond the indications.
