Small bowel bleeding treated successfully with transcatheter arterial embolization with imipenem/cilastatin.

Background: Small bowel bleeding is an uncommon cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding, which may require different management.

Solitary pelvic kidney encountered during laparoscopic colectomy.

We report a case of solitary pelvic kidney encountered during laparoscopic colectomy. A 55-year-old man was admitted to undergo laparoscopic colectomy for an early sigmoid colon cancer, which had been detected after a polypectomy. The kidneys were not clearly visualized in their normal position by ultrasonography.
