“…Although both urinary retention and acute bowel obstruction are common clinical conditions, it is hardly recognized that both conditions occur at the same time and bladder distention contributes to intestinal obstruction manifesting as a surgical abdomen. We are aware several authors have reported similar cases in the literature [1] , [4] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] . One has to remember that bowel obstruction secondary to urinary retention exists in female patients too [14] .…”

“…Large bowel obstruction is a surgical emergency that mandates prompt intervention. Admittedly, its incidence varies among populations; the most common causes are malignancy of the colon and rectum, volvulus, and fibrotic inflammatory stricture from diverticulitis in western countries [1] , [2] , [3] . Large pelvic masses such as distended urinary bladder, adjunct tumor of ovary, pregnancy, and pancreatic pseudocysts are unusual causes of large bowl obstruction [2] .…”

Although large bowel obstruction is a common surgical emergency, its occurrence due to bladder distension is rarely reported in the literature. We report a case of large bowel obstruction caused by bladder distention secondary to benign prostate hyperplasia in a 67-year-old man. This case demonstrates a grossly distended urinary bladder compressing the rectosigmoid colon against the sacrum, presenting as a complete large bowel obstruction. Management consisted of transurethral urinary catheter insertion, which resulted in complete resolution of the bowel obstruction with drainage of a large amount of urine. Early recognition of the underlying etiology resulted in the expeditious treatment of large bowel obstruction.

“…The most common cause of LBO is colorectal cancer, including volvulus and diverticulitis. The etiology of colon strangulation without volvulus and hernia is very rare, case reports have reported LBO caused by appendiceal mucocele, urinary retention, gallstone ileus, endometriosis, and mycobacterium tuberculosis [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] . In this case, the adhesion of both the right and left fallopian tubes caused LBO.…”

Introduction There are no reports regarding sigmoid colon strangulation caused by bilateral fallopian tubes, which is a rare type of large bowel obstruction. Herein, we report a case of successful laparoscopic treatment of sigmoid colon strangulation. Presentation of case A 54-year-old woman presented to our hospital with intermittent abdominal pain. Her medical history was significant for endometriosis; however, there was no surgical history. The physical examination revealed tenderness over the lower abdomen. CT scan shows closed loop obstruction of sigmoid colon. Exploratory laparoscopy was performed, and a sigmoid colon strangulated by bilateral fallopian tubes was detected. The adhesions consisting of bilateral fallopian tubes were dissected laparoscopically. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, with no complications. Discussion The most common cause of large bowel obstruction (LBO) is colorectal cancer, including volvulus and diverticulitis. In this case, the adhesion of both the right and left fallopian tubes caused LBO, and it is conceivable that the etiology involved is endometriosis. Few cases have reported bowel obstruction associated with a fallopian tube, and the laparoscopic approach is very rare. In our case, we immediately performed laparoscopic exploration before colon strangulation led to necrosis or perforation. Therefore, we succeeded in releasing the strangulation laparoscopically. Conclusion We report a case of sigmoid colon strangulation that was treated laparoscopically. This approach can be the treatment of choice for sigmoid colon strangulation.
