Gastrointestinal lipomas are rare benign tumors and intussusception due to a gastrointestinal lipoma constitutes an infrequent clinical entity. Lipoma may develop as a benign tumor in all organs and rarely in large or small intestine ileal and colic lipoma. We reported two rare cases of bowel intusssception in adults. The invagination was diagnosed by computed tomography scan. Exploratory laparotomy revealed the intussusceptions secondary to a lipoma which was successfully treated with segmental intestinal resection. Since adult intussusception is frequently associated with malignant organic lesions, being aware of the differential diagnosis is important and timely surgical intervention paramount. The anatompatholy is essential for the diagnosis defintive and the search of malignitis signs.
In this very particular moment through which we are living, it seems interesting to expose our own experience in taking digestive surgery patients. Emergency, oncological surgeries remained a priority. Functional surgery was deferred. On March 19, 2020, the Interior Ministry declares a state of health emergency and restricted traffic in Morocco from Friday (March 20.2020) until further notice, and declares this as the only inevitable way to keep the coronavirus under control. Therefore, The Covid-19 pandemic is changing the organization of healthcare and has a direct impact on digestive surgery. Healthcare priorities and circuits are being modified. The Mohamed the VI university Hospital consists of 4 hospitals and two centers; during this period, Ibn Tofail Hospital was dedicated to surgical management (all specialties combined). In addition to public Hospitals and some Mohamed the VI University Hospitals were involved in the Covid patients care. This last had two poles of digestive surgery (two different hospitals), the first one was dedicated to Covid-19 patients, and latter one for non-Covid patients, the advantage of this second pole: different specialties with a surgical resuscitation and emergency intensive care unit. The precautions, taken, were given the large number of healthy carriers; it must be emphasized that protective measures must be used in the care of all personnel and patients. Surgical treatment of 625 patients (From 20 March to 10 June) was carried out in collaboration with the resuscitation department, radiology, gastroenterology, oncology, biological laboratory, anatomopathology, paramedical staff and mainly in responsibility sense of the university hospital direction and the ministry of health engagement. We detail the results below. The report purpose: there is probably an added risk due to the pandemic that must be balanced against the risk incurred by deferring surgery. Not only the Covid-19 caused death during this pandemic, also we must work hard to treat other pathologies which can be fatal.
Different contents in the femoral hernia have been reported in the literature, but herniation of the fallopian tube in a femoral hernia is very rare due to its normal anatomical position. CASE Report: A 58 year-old woman, mother of 5 children, she has admitted to surgical ward with a painful lump in the right groin. It had recently increased in size. Clinical examination revealed a 4 cm × 3 cm tender, irreducible, nonpulsatile mass in the right groin just under the inguinal ligament. There was no cough impulse. A diagnosis of a femoral hernia was made. Exploration of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of the femoral hernia, but sac contained the right fallopian tube. The uterine tube was easily reduced back into the abdomen as it looked healthy and the hernia defect was repaired with Mac Vay technique. The patient made good recovery. CONCLUSION: This case is educational as it highlights the importance of managing women with femoral masses with care.
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.
