2/36. Gut perforation caused by biliary endoprosthesis.Two cases are reported of perforation of the gut caused by biliary endoprosthesies in the three-year period 1993-1995. The first patient was an 81-year-old man who had perforation of the terminal ileum caused by a straight 10 French/7 cm stent which had been dislodged from the bile duct; he underwent laparotomy but did not recover. The second patient was an 86-year-old man who had perforation of the sigmoid colon caused by a straight 7 French/5 cm stent left in the duodenum during a stent exchange procedure; he was successfully treated laparoscopically. Two cases of gut perforation in a three-year period is a rather high rate of this rare complication of placement of biliary endoprostheses.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.21118013303046keywords = sigmoid, colon (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/36. Overcoming Wallstent malposition in the treatment of rectosigmoid obstruction.In recent years, the use of transanal stenting of malignant colonic strictures for the palliation of obstructive symptoms has increased. Due to the rectosigmoid angle, stenting sigmoid tumors is more troublesome than rectal lesions, but the difficulty may be overcome by using a two-team approach. The radiologist assists the endoscopist with the use of fluoroscopy to ensure proper positioning of both the colonoscope and the stent. The most common complication is stent migration, but stent obstruction and colonic perforation may also occur. We treated a woman suffering from metastatic gastric cancer with peritoneal metastases by creating a 12-cm stricture in the sigmoid colon. Two adjoining Wallstents were required to bridge the obstruction. Following migration of the proximal stent, a third stent was introduced to bridge the previous two stents with satisfactory outcome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4447205321218keywords = sigmoid, colon (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/36. Large bowel impaction by the BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon (BIB) necessitating surgical intervention.A case of large bowel impaction caused by migration of a BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon (BIB) is presented. The literature is reviewed regarding both the use and the complications inherent in such balloon devices. This is the first reported case of an intragastric balloon impacted in the colon 9 months after insertion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.011180133030459keywords = colon (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/36. Removal of a foreign body from the distal colon using a combined laparoscopic and endoanal approach: report of a case.PURPOSE: We describe the case of a of 53-year-old homosexual male, from whom a cigar container (22 cm in length and 3.5 cm in diameter), which was introduced into the rectum and migrated upwards to the distal colon, was successfully extracted by combining laparoscopic and anal approaches. methods: The foreign body was mobilized laparoscopically, pushed down the rectum, and then extracted transanally with the aid of a dilator anoscope. CONCLUSIONS: Combining the laparoscopic and anal approaches in selected cases of colorectal foreign bodies is useful.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.055900665152293keywords = colon (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/36. Two cases of colonic adenomatous polyps accompanied by a migrated surgical suture.A 56-year-old man and a 70-year-old woman, with histories of left colectomy and appendectomy respectively, were admitted to our hospital. In both cases, colonoscopy showed a pedunculated colonic polyp in the ascending colon, and a silk suture became visible in the stalk during polypectomy. The histological diagnosis was adenoma. These two cases constitute the first report of colonic adenomatous polyps accompanied by suture migration.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.089441064243669keywords = colon (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/36. Colovesical fistula due to a lost gallstone following laparoscopic cholecystectomy: report of a case.We report the case of a 74-year-old man with a colovesical fistula caused by a gallstone that was lost during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy 7 months earlier. The patient was cured after undergoing colonoscopic removal of the stone. To our knowledge this is the first case report of such a complication in the English literature. The report reviews the outcome and complications of retained intraperitoneal gallstones.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.011180133030459keywords = colon (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/36. Colocutaneous fistula relating to the migration of a biliary stent.The endoscopic placement of endoprostheses to decompress biliary obstruction is a commonly used treatment for malignant biliary diseases and is also used in the treatment of benign biliary strictures. Complications of endoprosthesis placement have been described and include the migration of the stent. We present a case of a colonic-cutaneous fistula secondary to the migration of a plastic biliary stent with colonic perforation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.022360266060917keywords = colon (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/36. intestinal perforation in a parastomal hernia by a migrated plastic biliary stent.Organ perforation is a well-described complication of plastic biliary stent placement [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10][1-10]. Most commonly, a stent will cause duodenal perforation while still in the area of the biliary system. This often occurs in the setting of a periampullary diverticulum. Less frequently, a perforation occurs as a result of stent migration into the distal lumenal gastrointestinal tract. These cases have involved a migrated stent impacting at the level of the ileum or a sigmoid colon diverticulum. A plastic biliary stent causing perforation inside an incarcerated small bowel hernia sac has been reported [10]. We describe the first reported case of a plastic biliary stent causing perforation inside a parastomal hernia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.21118013303046keywords = sigmoid, colon (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/36. Extremely rare complications in cerebrospinal fluid shunt operations.The cerebrospinal fluid shunt operation, from its first realization in 1908 by Kausch till our days, is still of a significant importance for the long-term treatment of the internal hydrocephalus. Well known are many complications connected with the use of the valve systems (malfunction, infectious, overdrainage, secondary craniosynostosis and etc.). For a period of 17 years (1984-2000) at the Clinic of Pediatric neurosurgery, Department of neurosurgery, Sofia Medical University, 414 cerebrospinal fluid shunt operations were performed on children. 216 were drained to the right atrium of the heart, 198 to the peritoneal cavity. They were followed up by catamnesis until the year 2001. The authors describe 2 extremely rare cases with post-shunt complication as a result of a malfunction of the valve system, owing to a migration of the distal catheter: 1) in the anus; 2) in the urethra. In the first case the distal catheter perforated the colon transversum and by the way of the intestines went out through the anus. In the second case the distal catheter protruded out of the body through the bladder and the urethra. Their clinical appearance, the diagnostic examinations and the operative treatment are shown.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.011180133030459keywords = colon (Clic here for more details about this article) |
