Splenic injury occurring during colonoscopy is a rare but serious complication. Patients presented with abdominal pain and a precipitous decrease in hemoglobin and have all required emergent splenectomy.
Classification of appendiceal intussusception (type I-V) is based on the level of appendiceal invagination. Appendectomy is the treatment of choice unless there is a concern for a neoplasm in which case a more extensive resection may be necessary. We report a 47-year-old with an appendiceal intussusception.
The choice and type of resection depends on the proximity to the ampulla of Vater, involvement of adjacent organs and the ability to obtain negative margins. The morbidity depends on the type of procedure for GIST.
Benign CDF is amenable to operative therapy with resolution of symptoms and a low recurrence rate. Complete resection of malignant CDF can impart survival benefit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
