RESUMEN

Atraumatic splenic rupture, an infrequent surgical emergency, constitutes a life-threatening situation. The lack of a traumatic background makes it difficult to suspect. We present a case of a 45-year-old woman, with history of bariatric surgery, referred to our emergency due to 3 weeks long abdominal and lumbar pain, in shock. Imaging diagnosis of splenic rupture, emergent surgery was performed with atypical findings and good evolution. The bibliographic review, background and surgical findings allowed to postulate causality in this unusual presentation. Despite its low frequency, this pathology involves significant mortality and must be present in the patient in shock in the emergency room.


La rotura esplénica atraumática, una emergencia quirúrgica infrecuente, constituye una situación de riesgo vital. La falta de antecedente traumático dificulta su sospecha. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 45 años, con antecedente de cirugía bariátrica, remitida a nuestro servicio de urgencias por dolor abdominal y lumbar de 3 semanas, en shock. Con el diagnóstico imagenológico de rotura esplénica, se realizó cirugía emergente, con hallazgos atípicos, y la paciente tuvo una buena evolución. La revisión bibliográfica, los antecedentes y los hallazgos quirúrgicos permitieron postular la causalidad en esta inusual presentación. Pese a su poca frecuencia, esta patología comporta una mortalidad importante y debe tenerse presente ante un paciente en shock en la sala de urgencias.

RESUMEN

Background: In children less than 3 years of age, there is little experience in the nonoperative management of appendiceal phlegmon or abscess (APA), especially in APA with an appendicolith. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effects of an appendicolith and the success rate of nonoperative management for APA in these young children. Methods: Children younger than 3 years of age with APA who underwent attempted initial nonoperative treatment between January 2008 and December 2016 were reviewed. Based on the presence or absence of an appendicolith on admission ultrasonography examination or computed tomography scan, children were divided into two groups: appendicolith group and no appendicolith group. Results: There were 50 children who met the study criteria. Among 50 children, three children failed to respond to nonoperative treatment because of aggravated intestinal obstruction or recurrent appendicitis within 30 days of admission. The overall success rate for nonoperative management of APA was 94% (47/50) in children younger than 3 years old. The rate of diarrhea and CRP levels were higher in the appendicolith group than that of the no appendicolith group (P < 0.05). However, the success rate and the hospital length of stay for nonoperative treatment in the appendicolith group and the no appendicolith group were similar without statistical significance. Conclusion: APA with or without an appendicolith can have nonoperative management without immediate appendectomy in children less than 3 years old.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare lateral thermal damage of mesoappendix and appendiceal base using three different instruments for sealing and cutting of mesoappendix. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total number of 99 patients (54 males and 45 females) who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy because of suspected appendicitis between December 2013 and May 2015 were enrolled in the study. The patients were divided in three groups based on instrument used for sealing of mesoappendix: group 1 (Ultracision; n = 36), group 2 (LigaSure; n = 32), and group 3 (MiSeal; n = 31). Lateral thermal damage, intraoperative and postoperative complications, duration of surgery, hospital stay, and economic value were compared within groups. RESULTS: The median age of patients was 14 y (range 3-17). A histopathologic analysis revealed a positive diagnosis of appendicitis in 84 patients (85%). The median lateral thermal damage on appendiceal base using Ultracision, LigaSure, and MiSeal was 0.10 mm, 0.16 mm, and 0.10 mm respectively, and on mesoappendix, 0.08 mm, 0.13 mm, and 0.08 mm, respectively. Significantly higher thermal damage was found on mesoappendix (P = 0.015) and appendiceal base (P = 0.012) in patients treated with LigaSure than in patients from other groups. There were no statistical differences among the groups regarding intraoperative and postoperative complications (P = 0.098). No significant difference in thermal damage between appendicitis and nonappendicitis group was found (P = 0.266). CONCLUSIONS: Using of Ultracision, LigaSure, and MiSeal for sealing of mesoappendix in laparoscopic appendectomy in children is safe and useful. LigaSure produces significantly greater lateral thermal damage compared with other instruments.

RESUMEN

Foreign body ingestion is not an uncommon problem in clinical practice. While most ingested foreign bodies pass uneventfully through the gastrointestinal tract, sharp foreign bodies such as toothpicks should cause intestinal perforation. We reported the case of a perforation of the appendix caused by a toothpick, which also pierced the liver without hepatic damages, in a male with an intestinal malrotation and subhepatic appendix. The patient was admitted to our hospital for abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant. An abdominal computed tomography scan revealed the anomalous position of the first portion of the large intestine with inflamed appendix. A laparoscopic appendicectomy and the exploration of the abdominal cavity was performed using minimally invasive technique.

RESUMEN

Ingested foreign bodies tend to pass through the gastrointestinal tract without incidence, and vast majority of cases do not need intervention. Rarely, these foreign bodies drop into the appendix and not likely to re-enter the normal digestive tract. We describe a case of a 72-year-old male patient who presented with right iliac fossa pain of 3-day duration. Clinical examination suggested classic acute appendicitis. Blood test results revealed leukocytosis. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis showed evidence of acute appendicitis and a linear hyperdensity (foreign body) perforating the appendix. The patient was managed successfully with prompt laparoscopic appendectomy and removal of the foreign body which was confirmed to be a fish bone measuring about 10mm. While imaging diagnosis of fishbone in the appendix has been published, reports are few. To the best of the author's knowledge, fishbone induced perforated appendicitis has been described only in 2 cases (including this case) in the literature.

RESUMEN

An elderly gentleman presented to our emergency with a 10-day history of right upper quadrant pain and nausea with associated tenderness on examination. His white cell counts were raised with predominant neutrophils with ultrasound evidence of a heterogeneous sub-hepatic collection, not associated with fever, diarrhoea or vomiting. He had a similar episode 3 weeks ago, which resolved with antibiotics. Initially thought to be a perforated acute appendicitis or a liver abscess a CT scan was done to further substantiate our finding. This to the contrary revealed a perforated sub hepatic appendix. Patient was treated conservatively with IV fluids and antibiotics and the sub hepatic collection was aspirated under ultrasound guidance. He responded well to treatment and made an uneventful recovery.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Our aim was to establish the role of hyperbilirubinemia as a predictive parameter for the prediction of either acute, or gangrenous/perforated appendicitis as well as to compare other parameters in a similar role. METHODS: Medical files of the patients who underwent appendectomies between September 2013 and September 2014 were evaluated. Age, gender, preoperative white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count (NEU), neutrophil percentage (NEU%), C-reactive protein (CRP), total/direct/indirect bilirubin levels, and the postoperative histopathological findings were recorded. The Fisher's exact, Pearson's χ (2), ANOVA, and Kruskal-Wallis tests while logistic regression for multivariate analysis was performed. p < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. RESULTS: The study group of 162 patients consisted of 97 (60 %) men and 65 (40 %) women with a median age of 36 (18-90). Histopathological examinations revealed normal appendix in 21 (13 %) patients, non-complicated acute appendicitis in 100 (62 %), and appendiceal gangrene/perforation in 41 (25 %) patients. WBC, NEU, NEU%, and CRP levels were significantly higher in cases of acute and gangrenous/perforated appendicitis (p < 0.01). Total and direct bilirubin levels were also significantly elevated in patients with acute and gangrenous/perforated appendicitis (p < 0.01). According to multivariate analysis, elevated CRP levels were associated with 14 times, elevated total bilirubin levels were associated with five times, and elevated direct bilirubin levels were associated with 36 times greater risk for appendiceal gangrene/perforation (p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Hyperbilirubinemia, especially with elevated direct bilirubin levels, may be considered as an important marker for the prediction of appendiceal gangrene/perforation.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of intra-abdominal collections (IACs) in all patients undergoing laparoscopic (LA) and open appendicectomy (OA) from April 2009 to October 2011 in a district general hospital with expertise in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). METHODS: A retrospective review of all patients undergoing appendicectomy in the specified time period was carried out. IACs were identified from various in-hospital data resources. Severity of appendicitis was assessed from histology reports. RESULTS: 516 patients were identified, of whom 242 (47 %) underwent OA and 274 (53 %) LA. Twenty-six (5 %) patients were found to have IACs postoperatively. Fifteen (5.5 %) IACs were identified in the laparoscopic group and 11 (4.5 %) in the open group. There was no statistically significant difference in the risk of developing IACs in open versus laparoscopic groups [odds ratio (OR) 1.22, confidence interval (CI) 0.55-2.70, P = 0.63]. Patients were twelve times more likely to develop IACs with an appendix identified as being necrotic or perforated on histology (OR 12.24, CI 5.29-28.32, P < 0.0001). There was a trend towards shorter total hospital stay in the LA (3.58 days, CI 3.0-4.1 days) compared with OA (4.31 days, CI 3.7-4.9 days, P = 0.082) group, although this was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Increased rates of IAC following LA have been identified in some studies. Our series shows that, in a centre with adequate MIS experience, the IAC rate following LA is comparable to that of the open approach and should not deter surgeons with adequate support and resources.

RESUMEN

The application of an intrauterine contraceptive device can perforate the uterus and migrate to adjacent organs such as the bladder or small bowel. The main symptoms are painful insertion of the intrauterine contraceptive device and missing IUD strings. The diagnosis of perforation and transuterine migration of the IUD is made on the basis of an ultrasound examination and an abdominal X-ray. The proper management is such case is immediate removal of the IUD. The aim of this paper was to present a case of a 34-year-old woman with a copper IUD found during a caesarean section.

RESUMEN

We present a unique case of perforative appendicitis that occurred in an adult following blunt abdominal trauma. This case represents the first such reported case from Ireland. It also represents a modern practical example of Laplace's theory of the effect of increased pressure on colonic wall tension leading to localized perforation, and serves to highlight not only the importance in preoperative imaging for blunt abdominal trauma, but also the importance of considering appendiceal perforation.

RESUMEN

Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has gained wide acceptance as nephron-sparing therapy for small renal masses in select patients. Generally, it is a safe procedure with minor morbidity and acceptable short-term oncologic outcome. However, as a result of the close proximity of vital structures, such as the bowel, ureter, and large vessels, to the ablative field, complications regarding these structures may occur. This is the first article describing appendiceal perforation as a complication of computed tomography-guided RFA despite hydrodissection. When performing this innovative and promising procedure one should be aware of the possibility of particular minor and even major complications.

RESUMEN

Mucocele of the appendix is a rare disease. It can be triggered by benign or malignant diseases, which cause the obstruction of the appendix and the consequent accumulation of mucus secretion. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult due to non-specific clinical manifestations of the disease. Imaging tests can suggest the diagnosis. The treatment is always surgical and depends on the integrity and size of the appendix base and on the histological type of the original lesion. The prognosis is good in cases of integrity of the appendix. The perforation of the appendix and subsequent extravasation of its contents into the abdominal cavity may lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei, which has very poor prognosis if not treated properly. (AU)


A mucocele do apêndice cecal é uma doença rara. Pode ser causada por doenças benignas ou malignas que provocam a obstrução da luz do apêndice e, consequente, acúmulo de secreção mucoide. O diagnóstico pré-operatório é difícil devido ao quadro clínico inespecífico da doença. Exames de imagem sugerem o diagnóstico. O tratamento é sempre cirúrgico e é determinado pela integridade do órgão, dimensões da base e tipo histológico da lesão. O prognóstico é bom nos casos com integridade do apêndice cecal. A perfuração do apêndice e o consequente extravasamento do seu conteúdo para a cavidade abdominal pode ocasionar o pseudomixoma peritoneal, cujo prognóstico é bastante desfavorável se não tratado adequadamente.

RESUMEN

This retrospective study investigated preoperative markers of appendix perforation in 351 acute appendicitis cases: group 1, appendicitis not histologically confirmed; group 2, appendicitis without perforation or gangrenous changes; and group 3, histologically confirmed perforated appendicitis with gangrenous changes. In group 3, symptom duration was significantly longer, and white blood cell (WBC) and bilirubin values significantly higher, than for the other groups. Symptom duration, gender, bilirubin and elevated WBC were significantly associated with early diagnosis of acute appendicitis in univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis identified increased WBC counts and male gender as independent variables for the early diagnosis of acute suppurative appendicitis, and symptom duration, total bilirubin and elevated WBC as independent variables for identifying appendix perforation amongst acute suppurative appendicitis patients. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed good discrimination of bilirubin and moderate discrimination of WBC as markers of appendix perforation. It is concluded that assessment of preoperative total bilirubin is useful for the differential diagnosis of perforated versus acute suppurative appendicitis, whereas WBC assessment is effective for diagnosing the presence versus absence of appendicitis. Symptom duration, WBC and total bilirubin should be used as independent parameters in the early diagnosis of appendix perforation.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair can be performed totally extraperitoneal or transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP). Both repairs are associated with mesh-related complications. This is the first report of a mesh-strangulated appendix, with subsequent necrosis and perforation, after TAPP inguinal hernia repair. CASE: A 48-year-old male, 10-years status post-bilateral TAPP inguinal hernia repair presented with acute right groin bulge, pain, nausea, emesis, and fever. He was found to have a large, tender, nonreducible right groin mass. He was taken to the operating room for right groin exploration and found to have gross purulent material but no evidence of a recurrent hernia. A laparoscope was inserted into the abdomen where the appendix was found strangulated between the mesh and the transversalis fascia. CONCLUSIONS: Mesh-related complications after TAPP inguinal hernia repair are rare. This is the first report of a strangulated appendix secondary to mesh entrapment after TAPP repair.

RESUMEN

The objective of our study was to estimate the complementary role of ultrasound evaluation in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis after abdominoplevic CT. A total of 104 patients initially underwent abdominopelvic CT before appendix US due to acute abdominal pain. All CT examinations were evaluated retrospectively for the presence of acute appendicitis. The findings of appendix on CT were classified into five categories (definite appendicitis, probably appendicitis, equivocal CT findings for diagnosis of appendicitis, probably not appendicitis, and normal looking appendix). Appendix US images and their radiologic reports were also evaluated retrospectively. Then, CT and US findings were correlated with clinical or pathologic diagnosis. Three all patients with definite appendicitis initially on CT again showed US findings of appendicitis. In the 32 patients of probably appendicitis on CT, US showed normal looking appendix in seven patients (21.8%, 7 of 32) who improved with medical treatment and discharged. In the 16 patients of equivocal CT findings for diagnosis of appendicitis, US showed appendicitis in seven patients (43.8%, 7 of 16) and normal looking appendix in nine patients. In the 12 patients of probably not appendicitis on CT, US showed acute appendicitis in two patients (16.7%, 2 of 12). In the 41 patients of normal looking appendix on CT, US showed acute appendicitis in five patients (12.2%, 5 of 41). US reevaluation enables us to avoid misdiagnosis of appendicitis on CT and improve diagnostic accuracy of acute appendicitis.

RESUMEN

AIM: Point to an extremly rare complication of a curettage during abortion and follow up surgical treatment of this complicated state. CASE: In the case of 32 years old woman, multipara, was perforated cervix uteri during the abortion curettage and fat tissue of mesentery was aspirated into canulla. Apendix vermiformis was aspirated into cannula with its protrusion through the neck of the womb during repeated revision. Surgeon made appendectomy lege artis after abdomen revision and looking after haemoperitoneum. Because of serious devastation of right fallopian tube, salpingektomy was performed. Perforation of cervix in the lenght of three cm was sutured. Extensive incomplete rupture continuing from perforation gap was sutured from ligamentum sacrouterinum I.dx to fundus uteri. Intact foetus of 5,5 week of gestation was leaved in toto because of the high risk of the womb wall disruption during repeatedly attempted abortion. CONCLUSION: In case of the suspection of the uterus injury a revision and interdisciplinary approach to the solution of complications is necessary.
