Portal Vein Thrombosis After Laparoscopic Sigmoid Colectomy for Diverticulitis

Abstract: Portal vein thrombosis is a very uncommon complication after laparoscopic surgery. Although only one case of portal vein thrombosis has been reported after laparoscopic colectomy, there are several reports of mesenteric vascular occlusion after other laparoscopic procedures. We present a case of portal vein thrombosis in a patient with no other demonstrable hypercoagulable states or risk factors, who underwent an uneventful laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy. Because alteration in coagulation may occur after estab… Show more

“…In our study, a significant difference was not determined regarding D-Dimer, while fibrinogen values which were higher than the control group caused a hyper-coagulable state. In a patient who was normal before the surgery and then undergone laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy for diverticulitis, portal vein thrombosis was reported following surgery and protein S value was found to be lower [4]. Also in our study, a statistically significant decrease occurred in protein S values (p \ 0.05).…”

“…Increase in IAP caused by PP leads to an increase in venous blood pressures while it results in reduction of vena cava inferior flow and venous return in lower extremities [3]. Also, reduced splanchnic circulation improves after desufflation and reperfusion injury occurred in vessel endothelium initiates thrombus formation [3,4].…”

“…Changes in intra-abdominal pressure during splenectomy reduce portal vein blood flow and induce stasis. Both stases of venous flow and resulting congested coagulation factors may induce PSVT, as reported by Baixauli et al 57 Our study shows that the two major differences between LS and OS within the operative technique 46 were pneumoperitoneum and ligation of splenic hilar vessels. In the OS group, splenic hilar vessels were legated conventionally, and the structures were divided close to the splenic parenchyma with an endoscopic vascular stapler or with the LigaSure vessel sealings during LS.…”

“…The issue of conversion is especially crucial in the obese patient population where frequently the transverse colon or terminal ileum cannot be easily exteriorized due to a short and heavy mesentery and a thick abdominal wall. Furthermore, undue traction on the mesentery may lead to vascular complications including mesenteric and portal vein thrombosis [22] or bleeding. These technical limitations in the right colon resection of obese patients increase the likelihood of converting an EA technique to a fully open resection.…”
