RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Surgery for cardiac trauma is considered fatal and for wounds of the colon by associated sepsis is normally considered; however, conservative management of many traumatic lesions of different injured organs has progressed over the years. PRESENTATION OF THE CASE: A 65-year-old male patient presented with multiple shotgun wounds on the left upper limb, thorax, and abdomen. On evaluation, he was hemodynamically stable with normal sinus rhythm and normal blood pressure, no dyspnea, or abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest shows hematoma around the aorta without injury to the blood vessel wall with an intramyocardial projectile without pericardial effusion. CT scan of the abdomen showed pellets in the transverse colon and descending colon endoluminal without extravasation of contrast medium or intra-abdominal fluid. The patient remains hemodynamically stable, and nonsurgical procedure was established. DISCUSSION: Patients with asymptomatic intramyocardial projectiles can be safely managed without surgery. Nonsurgical management is only possible in asymptomatic patients with trauma of the colon through close surveillance and with very selective patients since standard management is surgery. CONCLUSION: Nonsurgical management of cardiac trauma, as well as colon penetrating trauma, can be performed in carefully selected patients with proper clinical follow-up, imaging, and laboratory studies.
RESUMO
Antecedentes: La cirugía gástrica cooperativa utliza vías simultáneas intraluminal peroral e intraperitoneal transabdominal para localizar y tratar, en tempo real, lesiones de dificil manejo con procedimientos convencionales. Su objetivo es resecar lesiones con técnicas videoasistidas, simultáneas, conservando tejido y funcionalidad, con los beneficios de la cirugía mínimamente invasiva. Objetivos: Describir nuestra experiencia en la realización de procedimientos cooperativos gástricos en el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología. Material y métodos: Revisión prospectiva de una base datos retrospectiva. Análisis descriptivo de pacientes en quienes se realizaron procedimientos gástricos cooperativos en el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología de Bogotá, Colombia, intervenidos entre octubre de 2012 y noviembre de 2016. Resultados: Se realizaron 16 procedimientos gástricos laparoendoscópicos: ocho de las 16 lesiones resecadas fueron subepiteliales, 4 intervenciones se indicaron para ampliación de márgenes posterior a resección endoscópica, 2 fueron lesiones epiteliales y 2 procedimientos se realizaron para control del sangrado con intención paliativa. Catorce procedimientos fueron de tpo exogástrico, 1 intragástrico y 1 transgástrico. El tempo quirúrgico promedio fue de 91 minutos, con pérdidas sanguíneas en promedio de 42 mL con bordes de resección negativos en todos los casos. El tempo promedio de hospitalización fue de 4 días. La supervivencia libre de enfermedad a 22 meses fue del 100%. Conclusiones: Los resultados de nuestro estudio muestran que la cirugía gástrica cooperativa es una técnica segura, factible, con tempos quirúrgicos aceptables y sangrados mínimos en pacientes con comorbilidades y sin ellas, conservando los principios oncológicos y de la cirugía mínimamente invasiva en el tratamiento de las neoplasias gástricas.
Background: cooperative gastric surgery uses simultaneous, intraluminal peroral and intraperitoneal trans-abdominal pathways to localize and treat, in real tme, dificult tumors with conventonal proce-dures. The aim is to resect lesions of diferent etology with video assited techniques, simultaneous, preserving tssue and functonality, with the benefts of minimally invasive surgery. Objective: the aim of our study was describe our experience in cooperative gastric procedures at the Natonal Cancer Institute in Bogotá, Colombia. Materials and methods: prospective review of a retrospective database. Descriptive analysis of pa-tents in whom cooperative gastric procedures were performed at the Natonal Cancer Institute of Bogotá, Colombia, between October 2012 and November 2016. Results: sixteen laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative procedures were performed; eight of 16 resec-ted tumors were subepithelial; four cases were done for resecton of previous positive margins, two epithelial lesions and two for bleeding and palliative control. Fourteen procedures were exogastric, 1 intragastric and 1 transgastric. The operative tme was 91 minutes, the average bleeding was 42 cc and negative margins were present in all cases. The mean hospital stay was 4 days. Conclusions: Our study shows that laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery is a safe and feasible technique with acceptable operative tmes and minimal bleeding in patents with and without comorbidites, preserving the oncological and minimally invasive principles in the treatment of gastric neoplasms.
RESUMO
Resumen La presentación de pacientes con cuerpos extraños a nivel rectal no es poco frecuente; sin embargo, hay pocas estadísticas sobre la epidemiología de esta entidad. La mayor parte de la literatura publicada hace mención a reporte de casos o series de casos. Los cuerpos extraños rectales son insertados de forma intencional o no intencional, y constituyen un reto diagnóstico y terapéutico para el médico; por lo que el médico a cargo requiere de la habilidad y conocimiento para extraer objetos de diferentes formas y tamaños. Los cuerpos extraños rectales son generalmente observados en la población adulta; en relación con la estimulación erótica o asalto sexual. Adicionalmente, algunos cuerpos extraños pueden ser ingeridos ocasionalmente, pasando a través del tracto gastrointestinal y alojándose en el recto, aunque esta situación es la menos común; en especial en pacientes con enfermedades mentales, trastornos visuales, alcohólicos o usuarios de prótesis dentales. La finalidad de esta revisión es establecer unas pautas de manejo y dar a conocer un algoritmo para el enfoque de los cuerpos extraños colorrectales.
Abstract Patients with foreign bodies in their rectums are not uncommon, but statistics on the epidemiology of this entity are scarce. Most of the literature published consists of case reports or case series. Foreign rectal bodies, whether inserted intentionally or unintentionally, constitute a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for physicians who need skill and knowledge to extract objects of different shapes and sizes. Foreign rectal bodies are generally observed in the adult population in relation to erotic stimulation or sexual assault. Occasionally, foreign bodies are ingested and pass through the gastrointestinal tract to lodge in the rectum. Although this situation is the least common, it does occur, especially in patients with mental illnesses, visual disorders, or alcoholism and among users of dental prostheses. The purpose of this review is to establish management guidelines and to present an algorithm for the approach to colorectal foreign bodies.
