RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The causes of short bowel syndrome are multiple, but most often in sub-Saharan Africa they result from extensive surgical resection that leaves less than 200 cm. Intestinal failure appears rapidly with a major hydroelectrolytic deficiency and malabsorption. Management requires parenteral nutrition that can be life-long. OBSERVATION: A 53 year-old patient underwent surgery in 1986 for peptic ulcer disease and recovered successfully. He was admitted in July 2015 for acute bowel obstruction of more than 8 hours duration. Intraoperative exploration showed irreversible ischemia in the small bowel, related to tight adhesions. An extensive resection leaving 110 cm of bowel was carried out. Postoperatively, nutritional monitoring and oral supplementation were prescribed and associated with proton pump inhibitors and antidiarrhea drugs. Parenteral feeding was not available. The postoperative period was characterized by temporary stability followed by a significant weight loss, then by two hospitalizations for severe malnutrition and intercurrent infection. Death occurred 7 months after the operation. CONCLUSION: Parenteral nutrition is essential in short bowel syndrome. Availability, especially for a long-term use, is a major problem in our context, and alternatives are rare.

RESUMO

Buts. Évaluer de façon rétrospective les résultats de la prise en charge des pelvipéritonites dans un service de chirurgie générale et définir la place du traitement médical.Patients et méthodes. Durant une période de 5 ans, 62 dossiers de patientes suivies pour pelvipéritonite ont été colligés et analysés. Les collections des organes génitaux internes (abcès tubo-ovariens, endométrite, pyoovaire etc.…) et celles d'origine digestive (appendicite pelvienne, sigmoïdite etc.…) ont été exclus de l'étude. Le diagnostic de pelvipéritonite reposait sur l'existence de douleurs pelviennes, de leucorrhées purulentes, d'un syndrome infectieux et d'une défense strictement pelvienne, et l'absence de suppuration des organes génitaux internes à l'échographie. Résultats. L'âge moyen des patientes était de 27,5 ans [16-55 ans]. 72% d'entre elles avaient moins de 35 ans. Deux patientes étaient porteuses d'un dispositif intra-utérin et chez une, la pelvipéritonite compliquait une hystérosalpingographie. Le délai moyen de consultation était de 11 jours [1-30 jours]. Des leucorrhées purulentes étaient présentes chez 77% des patientes. La défense abdominale localisée sous ombilicale était présente dans 58 cas (93%). Une collection du Douglas était présente à l'échographie chez une patiente. Un traitement médical a été appliqué avec succès chez 58 patientes. Quatre patientes avaient un tableau clinique suffisamment sévère pour justifier une laparotomie exploratrice pour suspicion de péritonite. Des adhérences multiviscérales sous forme de magma adhérentiel cloisonnant le pelvis ont été notées chez trois d'entre elles et un abcès du Douglas chez une patiente. une récidive de pelvipéritonite à 3 et 5 mois a été notée chez et l'évolution sous traitement médical a été favorable pour les deux. Conclusion. Les signes cliniques (fièvre, leucorrhées purulentes et défense strictement pelvienne) sont suffisants pour poser un diagnostic de pelvipéritonite à Dakar. Le traitement médical doit être la règle en l'absence de collection abcédée

RESUMO

There is a real risk of electrical accidents in the operating theatre, with the growing number of electrical, electronic and flammable liquids used. Electrocautery remains the most commonly used device for its electrosurgical effect of coagulation or tissue section. When it is defective or misplaced on a small area of the skin, it can cause a typically deep, slow healing skin burn. It adds an unexpected iatrogenic morbidity to the initial condition, with devastating consequences for the patient, the surgeon and sometimes the hospital. We report two cases of cutaneous burn by the neutral plate that occurred intraoperatively when using electrocautery in monopolar mode, and discuss etiology, clinical and prevention aspects.

RESUMO

In Africa, difficulties in health care access and illiteracy promote the development of giant inguinal hernias. Management of these hernias can be very challenging, according to the risk of replacing the intestines into the abdominal cavity. We report five cases in Senegal.

RESUMO

Inguinal hernia usually developed and descended into scrotum. The clinical presentation is inguinal or inguino-scrotal swelling. Abdominal wall weakness as it is frequently seen in African tropical zones produces often rare clinical case. We report a case of inguinal hernia presented as an abdominal wall swelling clinically suggestive of a Spigelian hernia and discuss the mechanism.
