Late marginal ulcer perforation after Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass - A case report with two-step management.

Introduction: Marginal ulcers are an acid-related complication of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Few cases of acute perforation have been described, and there are few reports on viable surgical management. This case report demonstrates a two-step surgical procedure for treating a perforated late marginal ulcer in a patient with sepsis.

Intra-abdominal foreign body as unexpected discovery mimicking suspicious malignancy.

Although rare, postoperatively retained foreign bodies in the abdominal cavity still represent a serious issue for the surgical team as for the patients. Its clinical manifestation is often unspecific and the cases are therefore only irregularly registered. There are several known factors that increase the risk of retention of a foreign body, for example emergency surgeries, unplanned changes in procedure or a high body mass index.

Anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic single-port sigmoid resection: combined transanal and transabdominal minimal invasive management.

Background: Laparoscopic colorectal surgery has become the gold standard in the therapy of benignant and malignant colorectal pathologies. Anastomotic leakage is still a reason for laparotomy; applying a diverting stoma or performing a Hartman's procedure is common [1, 2]. Laparoscopic treatment of an early-detected anastomotic leakage is suggested from other authors [3, 4].
