The practice of traditional medicine and the use of medicinal plants are increasingly developed in Africa. Its poorly controlled administration often leads to severe complications that can sometimes be life-threatening. Intrarectal injection of caustic material with such purpose as suicide, murder, accident, or as a tribal therapeutic is responsible, within several hours, for burns of the colonic coating, the severity of which ranges from a simple light congestion of the rectal mucosa to a complete necrosis of the colon of variable length from the rectum to the cecum. We report the case of a stenosing rectocolitis complicating enemas with traditional products. Colonoscopy and contrast enema found their interest in determining the limits of surgical resection.
Title: Surgical management of abdominal incisional hernia with mesh placement: short-term experience of the University Hospital Yalgado Ouedraogo Introduction: The incisional hernia repair has several variants depending on the implantation site of the mesh. It may be intraperitoneal, preperitoneal, pre-mucosal or pre-musculoskeletal. Objective: The aim of the work was to report at short term the experience of the general and digestive surgery service of the Yalgado Ouédraogo University Hospital Center for the surgical management of abdominal incisional hernia with mesh placement in retro-muscular prefascial Patients and methods: This was a cross-sectional and descriptive study with a review of the files and a survey of 17 patients operated on for voluminous abdominal incisional hernia (diameter greater than 10 cm) from September 1, 2014 to August 31, 2015. Results: The mean duration of hospitalization was 7 days with extremes of 4 and 15 days. The dressings lasted on average 7 days with extremes of 4 and 15 days. The suction drains remained in place on average 8.56 days with extremes of 5 and 14 days and the mean duration of the abdominal wall contusion was 24.5 days with extremes of 10 and 40 days.European Scientific Journal December 2017 edition Vol.13, No.36 ISSN: 1857 -7881 (Print) e -ISSN 1857-7431
425The early postoperative complications were minor: 8 seromas, 1 hematomas, 1 superficial infection of the wall. Patients were followed for an average duration of 9.47 months with extremes of 4 and 14 months. The complications during this period were: 3 minor residual pain (limited to the scar) and 1 recurrence. Thirteen patients (76.5%) were satisfied with the intervention. Mortality was zero. Conclusion: Short time complications related to the surgical management of abdominal incisional hernia with mesh placement in retro-muscular prefascial in CHUYO are mainly minor.
Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of acute intestinal occlusions by flanges and post-operative adhesions. Patients and method: This was a two-year descriptive retrospective study conducted in the surgical department of the Ouahigouya Regional University Hospital from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018. It included patients operated on for acute intestinal obstruction by postoperative flanges and adhesions and with a well-documented clinical record. Results: The post-operative flanges and adhesions accounted for 41.81% of the causes of acute intestinal obstructions. The average age of the patients was 37.93 years. Males were the most represented with 68.57% of cases. Abdominal pain was the main reason for consultation. Acute appendicitis and generalized acute peritonitis had dominated the etiologies of previous interventions in 37.84% of cases. The post-operative flanges and
