We should remember all the therapeutic and diagnostic options for a patient with upper gastrointestinal bezoars who present at the hospital whether or not there is a predisposing risk factor.
Abdominal wall hernias are a common problem in the general population. A Western estimate reveals that the lifetime risk of developing a hernia is about 2%.1–3 As a result, hernia repairs likely comprise the most frequent general surgery operations. More than 20 million hernias are estimated to be repaired every year around the world.4 Numerous repair techniques have been described to date however tension-free mesh repairs are widely used today because of their low hernia recurrence rates. Nevertheless, there are some ongoing debates regarding the ideal approach (open or laparoscopic),5,6 the ideal anesthesia (general, local, or regional),7,8 and the ideal mesh (standard polypropylene or newer meshes).9,10
Mekanik ince bağırsak tıkanıklığının en sık nedeni önceden yapılmış karın ameliyatlarıdır. Buna karşın, karın ameliyatı hikayesi olmayan hastalarda tanı koyulması ve tedavi zordur. Omfalomezenterik kanal fetal gelişim sırasında midgut ile yolk kesesi arasında yer alan embriyonik bir yapıdır. Bazı kişilerde, varlığı sebat eder ve özellikle çocukluk yaşlarında bazı komplikasyonlara neden olur. Erişkinlerde ise omfalomesenterik kanalın sebat etmesine bağlı gelişen bağırsak tı-kanıklığı oldukça nadir rastlanılan bir durumdur. Bu yazıda, omfalomezenterik kanal açıklığının devam etmesine bağlı bağırsak tıkanıklığı gelişmiş 42 yaşındaki erkek hasta sunuldu.Anahtar Sözcükler: Bağırsak tıkanıklığı; persistan omfalomezenterik kanal; ince bağırsak.Previous abdominal surgery is the most common cause of mechanical small bowel obstruction. However, in patients with no abdominal surgery history, it is difficult to diagnose and treat. Omphalomesenteric duct is a primitive embryonic structure of fetal development between the midgut and yolk sac. In some cases, it may persist and result in several complications, particularly in childhood. In adults, intestinal obstruction due to persistent omphalomesenteric duct is an extremely rare circumstance. We report a 42-year-old male patient presenting with omphalomesenteric duct remnant causing small bowel obstruction.
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.
