Iatrogenic porta hepatis injury is a rare but devastating surgical complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. There are no systematic studies examining the best treatment strategy in patients with this injury. We present a case of a 23-year-old woman with a large abscess in the right hepatic lobe due to an extreme vasculobiliary injury after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Although rare, the impact of vasculobiliary injuries after cholecystectomy highlights the need for constant alertness and prompt management in order to minimize mortality and morbidity usually associated with the routine operative procedure.
The recognition of situs inversus is of great importance to avoid possible surgical mishaps that may result from the failure to recognize reversed anatomy or an atypical history. The repair of associated PAPVC with situs inversus totalis needs special attention during surgery due to the reversed anatomy.ss
Situs inversus totalis associated with partial anomalous pulmonary
venous connection is a very rare congenital heart malformation. Herein,
we describe successful surgical repair of the case of a 30-month-old
girl who had situs inversus totalis, partial anomalous pulmonary venous
connection , large atrial septal defect, and severe pulmonary
hypertension.
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.
