LCAP is beneficial for the induction of mucosal healing in steroid-free and steroid-refractory patients with UC. The degree of platelet reduction during LCAP might be a predictive marker for mucosal healing and a sustained clinical response.
A 50-year-old woman underwent radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection for uterus cancer 1 month previous. She complained of frequent vomiting and abdominal cramps after taking dinner and was diagnosed with mechanical intestinal obstruction. After 3 days of conservative treatment, computed tomography revealed a strangulated intestinal obstruction. On emergent laparotomy, localized dilated ileum was incarcerated with strangulation between the left ureter and left iliac vessels. After successful manual relief of the strangulation of the ileum, the sigmoid colon and ileocecum were attached by sutures to the pelvic sacral fascia to prevent recurrence of the incarceration. We report this rare case of strangulated intestinal obstruction caused by the ureter after radical hysterectomy with a review of 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.
