Small bowel obstruction in adults, Ladd's band is an exceptional cause: a case report.

Malrotation of the gut is a congenital anomaly of foetal intestinal rotation and it's principally discovered in early childhood as acute intestinal obstruction. This condition is veritably rare and constantly silent in adults. Intestinal malrotation in adults is frequently asymptomatic and is diagnosed as a casual finding during a radiological examination performed for other reasons.

Synchronous anal mucinous adenocarcinoma and anal tuberculosis presenting as chronic anal fistula: Challenging management.

Metachronous anal tuberculosis to an anal adenocarcinoma is an exceptional condition. The aim of our study was to report management of the first case of synchronized anal canal adenocarcinoma and anal canal tuberculosis and report our multidisciplinary approach. A 71-year-old man was admitted for non-healing anal fistula.

Rupture of Hydatid Cyst in the Gallbladder Leading to Acute Cholangitis.

Hydatid disease is a health problem in endemic areas such as the Mediterranean region caused by which can develop anywhere in the human body, but it is most frequently located at the liver. Liver hydatid cyst may rupture into the biliary tract, thorax, peritoneum, viscera, digestive tract, or skin, but its rupture in the gallbladder remains rare. We report a rare case of rupture of liver hydatid cyst in the gallbladder leading to acute cholangitis.

Retroperitoneal Ectopic Pregnancy: Diagnosis and Therapeutic Challenges.

Background: Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy is extremely rare. This unusual location represents a great challenge for clinicians due to the difficulties of diagnosis and high risk of life-threatening complications.

Case Report: We report the case of a spontaneous early pregnancy of undetermined location in a patient with a history of previous laparoscopic surgery.

Pancreatic solid serous cystadenoma treated by laparoscopy: Presentation of a new case report and review of the literature.

Solid serous cystadenoma is an uncommon benign pancreatic tumor, with only, including this case, 21 cases published so far. It is often misdiagnosis with other malignant pancreatic tumors. Below we report a new case of a solid serous cystadenoma of the pancreas treated by laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy in 53-year-old female who presented with epigastric pain.

Risk Factors for Conversion and Morbidity During Initial Experience in Laparoscopic Proctectomies: a Retrospective Study.

The aim of this study was to determine the predictable factors for conversion during laparoscopic proctectomies, and for postoperative morbidity, in order to assist in defining the best candidates of patients for initial experience in laparoscopic proctectomies for rectal adenocarcinoma. A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic rectal resection for rectal adenocarcinoma operated by a single surgeon, between 2005 and 2012, were performed. Predictive factors for conversion and for postoperative morbidity were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis.

Impact of Conversion to Open Surgery on Early Postoperative Morbidity After Laparoscopic Resection for Rectal Adenocarcinoma: A Retrospective Study.

Background: The impact of conversion to open surgery after a laparoscopic resection for rectal adenocarcinoma on postoperative morbidity is still unclear. Most previous studies included colon and rectal carcinomas and produced conflicting results. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of conversion to open surgery on early postoperative morbidity in patients who underwent a laparoscopic resection for rectal adenocarcinoma.

Perineal schwannoma.

Background: Schwannoma is a benign tumor arising from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve sheath. Perineal schwannomas are exceptional, and rarely reported in the literature. We report a case of a perineal schwannoma, close to the anal sphincter, and provide a short summary of clinical, radiological and surgical features of this rare entity.

Abdominal wall recurrence of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor: case report.

Introduction: The gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are mesenchymal tumors, most commonly affecting the stomach and small bowel. Only few cases of port-site recurrence after laparoscopic treatment have been reported. We herein report the case of a parietal recurrence on the extraction incision site, 7 years after laparoscopic surgery for small bowel GIST.

Risk factors for anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal adenocarcinoma.

Background: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is an important cause of morbidity after surgery for rectal cancer.

Aim: to analyze the risk factors associated with anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal adenocarcinoma.

Methods: We collected data from all the patients who had surgical resection with an anastomosis, for rectal adenocarcinoma at the Surgical Clinic C (Ibn Sina Hospital, Rabat, Morocco), between January 2001 and December 2010.

Imaging features of adrenal ganglioneuroma: a case report.

Background: Adrenal ganglioneuroma is a rare tumor constituting 20-30% of all ganglioneuromas. It is a benign tumor and can present diagnostic problems when confused with other adrenal solid tumors.

Case Presentation: We herein report a case of adrenal ganglioneuroma in a 28-year-old Arabic patient and emphasize the diagnostic role of cross-sectional imaging modalities (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging).

Asymptomatic intra-peritoneal rupture of hydatid cyst of the liver: case report.

Background: Intra-peritoneal rupture of hydatid cyst is a rare complication and there is no consensus about its treatment.

Case Presentation: The reported case concerns a 25 years old female patient who had been complaining for four months from a moderate pain in the right upper quadrant. No clinical or biological signs of sepsis or allergic reactions were witnessed.

Peritoneal echinococcosis: anatomoclinical features and surgical treatment.

Background: Peritoneal hydatid disease is a rare and poorly known disease. We report our experience with 17 patients treated for peritoneal echinococcosis. The main objectives were to analyze and discuss the specific features of the anatomic peritoneal lesions along with their surgical treatment.

Intestinal subocclusion due to colonic lipoma: a case report.

Colonic lipomas are rare benign tumors infrequently met in clinical practice. Most of them are asymptomatic making frequent their fortuitous discovery. The therapeutic approach to the fortuitous discovery of a lipoma is even less clear.

Spontaneous rupture of a recurrent hepatic cystadenoma.

Biliary cystadenoma is a rare cystic tumor of the middle aged woman that usually arises in the liver or occasionally in the extrahepatic bile ducts. It has a strong potential for recurrence and for malignant transformation. The lack of specific clinical and biological features hinders diagnosis before surgery.

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma in a male patient: a case report.

In the literature, 51 cases of primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma have been published. We report the fourth case occurring in a male patient. The 42-year-old patient presented with multiple retroperitoneal cystic masses causing abdominal discomfort without alteration of the global clinical state.
