Malrotation in an Adult Patient With Pneumoperitoneum Following Nissen-Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Case Report.

Intestinal malrotation is typically encountered in the first year of life and is rarely seen in adult populations. Herein, we present the case of a 48-year-old woman with a surgical history of laparoscopic Nissen-sleeve gastrectomy before 11 months who was referred to the general surgery service after presenting to the emergency department with acute epigastric abdominal pain for one-day duration. Radiography and a computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen revealed a large pneumoperitoneum.

Giant Paratubal Cyst Mimicking Mesenteric Cyst.

Paratubal cysts are adnexal masses located in the broad ligament; whenever the size of the cyst is >20 cm, it is considered a giant cyst and can present with complications including ovarian torsion and perforation. Diagnosis can be made clinically with the help of radiological investigations, although the gold standard diagnostic tool is diagnostic laparoscopy. Managing this condition relies mainly on surgical intervention (open or laparoscopic).

Intersigmoid Internal Hernia: Laparoscopic Repair of a Rare Cause of Bowel Obstruction.

Intersigmoid hernia is a hernia of an abdominal viscus into the intersigmoid fossa, and it is one of the rare forms of internal hernia that can present with bowel obstruction. Intersigmoid hernia poses challenges in its diagnosis and treatment due to its rarity and vague signs and symptoms. As such, a high index of suspicion should be maintained, and early diagnostic examination should be done that includes an abdominal CT that may show signs suggestive of internal hernia.

An undiagnosed giant right renal hydatid cyst treated laparoscopically: Case report and review of literature.

Hydatid disease caused by the tape worm is a rare occurrence in the urinary system in general. We are hereby presenting a case of a gentleman in his fourth decade with a giant right renal hydatid cyst.
