Migration of a proposed cervical collar incision does occur. An inappropriately placed incision may lead to excessive scarring if it is too low, or unusual prominence if it is too high. We believe a good position for marking such an incision is 1 fingerbreadth above the sternal notch with the patient in a neutral, upright position.
Spontaneous biliary peritonitis remains as a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. Within the context of cholecystectomy, the surgeon should always be alert to the possibility of delayed bile leak.
Duodenal diverticulum perforation is a rare and life-threatening pathology. Perforation secondary to iatrogenic causes is rare, with only 14 cases previously reported. This paper explores a world-first case report on iatrogenic duodenal diverticulum perforation during right laparoscopic nephroureterectomy and a systematic review of all reported cases of duodenal diverticulum perforation in the literature.
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.
