Intestinal perforation resulting from Salmonella typhi is an important health problem in Eastern and Southeastern Turkey. In management of this illness, early and appropriate surgical intervention is vital.
IntroductionThe drainage of abdominal cavity by means of tube drains is the oldest method. The herniation of gallbladder through the abdominal wall is very rare. Although there are studies informing evisceration of organs such as small intestines and ovary from drain site; at the literature scanning, no publication has been met with advising gallbladder evisceration from the Pezzer drain site so far.Case presentationWe describe here the first case in the literature of gallbladder evisceration from the Pezzer drain site. A male case with a history of operated incarcerated right inguinal hernia presented with a surgical abdomen. With a diagnosis of intestinal ischemia, the patient underwent laparotomy. About 200 cc fluid with serous quality has been determined in the abdomen and aspirated. Patchy ischemia zones were observed in ileum, over serous face. No. 30 Pezzer’s drain was placed for the intention of drainage, extending from the right side of navel towards rectovesical area. After the drainage stopped patient was discharged from hospital with recovery on the 8th postoperative day. One day after the discharge, applied to another general surgery center, by complaining that the intestine protruded through an opening in its surrounding walls of the drain place and that has been gradually enlarged. During the operation it was determined that proximal 2/3 of gallbladder has been protruded to outside of abdomen. Cholecystectomy was performed, and patient recovery was uneventful.ConclusionsGallbladder herniation is a pathology requires emergency operation.
We report on a case of gossypiboma. A 54-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with abdominal mass. She had undergone a caesarean operation 23 years previously. The mass in the right abdominal quadrant was suspected by abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The mass was removed by laparotomy excision and the final diagnosis was gossypiboma.
Endoscopic biliary stents have been recently applied with increasing frequency as a palliative and curable method in several benign and malignant diseases. As a reminder, although most of the migrated stents pass through the intestinal tract without symptoms, a small portion can lead to complications. Herein, we present a case of intestinal perforation caused by a biliary stent in the hernia of a patient with a rarely encountered incarcerated incisional hernia.
Diverticulum of the cecum is a rarely seen reason of acute abdomen and it is difficult to be distinguished from appendicitis. The diagnosis is generally made during operation. We have presented this case in order to remember that it is a disease which should be kept in mind in cases of right lower quadrant pain.
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.
