Strangulated diverticulum: a new acute complication of small bowel diverticulosis.

Complicated jejunal diverticulosis is a difficult entity to diagnose, which can cause significant morbidity and mortality. We present the case of an 88-year-old female who presented with a unique complication of small bowel diverticulosis progressing to a strangulated diverticulum requiring emergency surgery. We present the case of an 88-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain associated with a new mass on a background of perforated diverticulitis and previous laparoscopic abdominal surgeries for division of adhesions.

Case report on severe splenic injury following colonoscopy with disproportionately stable presentation: A rural hospital perspective.

Introduction: Detection of splenic injury following routine colonoscopy is slowly on the rise. Mostly presenting as left upper abdominal or shoulder tip pain along with a sharp fall in haemoglobin level and hemodynamic instability, sometimes the presentation and initial workup may be vague and falsely reassuring.

Case Presentation: This is demonstrated in the case of a 72 year old male who presented with vague but severe left lower abdominal pain following colonoscopy, during which one caecal polyp was removed and no intraoperative complications were reported.

Rare presentation of ileocolic intussusception secondary to mantle cell lymphoma.

Mantle cell lymphoma is a type of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and accounts for 3%-6% of all adult NHL. Bowel intussusception secondary to lymphoma is rare in adults, accounting for only 4% of all cases.The authors present the case of a 53-year-old man, recently diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma, who presented with sudden onset right-sided abdominal pain and was found to have ileocolic intussusception up to the hepatic flexure on abdominal CT.

The elusive small bowel adenocarcinoma in the terminal ileum-A case report.

Introduction: Small bowel malignancies are rare and often present with non-specific symptoms. Because of this, diagnosis of small bowel malignancies is often missed.

Presentation Of Case: 71-year-old male presented with a four-week history of right iliac fossa pain and loss of weight.

Reducing Operating Room Turnover Time for Robotic Surgery Using a Motor Racing Pit Stop Model.

Background: Operating room (OR) turnover time, time taken between one patient leaving the OR and the next entering, is an important determinant of OR utilization, a key value metric for hospital administrators. Surgical robots have increased the complexity and number of tasks required during an OR turnover, resulting in highly variable OR turnover times. We sought to streamline the turnover process and decrease robotic OR turnover times and increase efficiency.

Giant sigmoid diverticulum: A case report.

Sigmoid colon diverticulosis is commonly seen in both the surgical outpatient and emergency departments. Rarely, these sigmoid diverticulum, which usually range from 2-3mm to 2cm in size, can enlarge to more than 10 times. This is due to a ball-valve type mechanism that traps colonic gas inside the sigmoid diverticulum causing it to gradually enlarge.

Suprapubic cartilaginous cyst - A case report.

Suprapubic cartilaginous cyst (SPCC) is a rare condition known to occur in postmenopausal multiparous women. It is due to the degeneration of the pubic symphysis. Due to its slow progression and rarity in occurrence, it is often misdiagnosed.

Complicated colonic intussusception.

The manuscript deals with the case of a 53-year-old woman who developed large bowel obstruction. Per-rectal examination revealed a pedunculated lesion in the rectum; rigid sigmoidoscopy revealed a prolapsing pedunculated mass with a necrotic surface. The patient recovered well following anterior resection.

A diagnostic challenge: primary omental torsion and literature review - a case report.

A case report of omental torsion, which is a rare differential diagnosis of the acute abdomen. Intraoperative diagnosis and treatment by resection are the current management of choice, however with increasing use of pre-operative imaging this may need to be reconsidered.

Ileocolic Intussusception - A rare cause of acute intestinal obstruction in adults; Case report and literature review.

Colonic Intussusception although common in children, is a rare cause of acute intestinal obstruction in adults. The etiology, clinical presentation and management of this condition is different in adults as compared to children. Pre-operative diagnosis is usually difficult due to the non specific and intermittent nature of the symptoms.
