A Case of Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia Due to Celiac and Mesenteric Artery Thrombosis.

Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is uncommon and accounts for approximately 5% of cases. CMI presents with non-specific symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose, and requires complex management involving interprofessional teams. We present the case of a 66-year-old female who presented with postprandial abdominal pain, vomiting, sitophobia, and weight loss.

Doppler ultrasound diagnosis of an unusual variant of median arcuate ligament syndrome: concomitant involvement of celiac and superior mesenteric arteries. A case report.

Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), also known as celiac artery compression syndrome is a rare condition characterized by chronic mesenteric ischemia, secondary to the compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament. Occasionally, in addition to the celiac artery, the superior mesenteric artery may be partially compressed by the median arcuate ligament. We report a case with complaints of chronic abdominal pain from compression of both the celiac artery and the superior mesenteric artery due to MALS, which was primarily detected by Doppler ultrasound.

Effects of totally extraperitoneal (TEP) and Lichtenstein hernia repair on testicular blood flow and volume.

Background: Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) has been compared with the open technique in several studies in terms of technical properties and perioperative outcomes. There are few studies that compare the long-term effects of each technique on testicular structure and function on the side of the hernia repair. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects at 6 months of the TEP and the Lichtenstein technique on testicular volume and arterial flow by the use of Doppler ultrasonography.
