Idiopathic megabowel causing acute bowel obstruction: A case report.

Background: Idiopathic megabowel is a rare condition. Its physiopathology is still unclear. We report a case of a patient presenting with acute bowel obstruction due to idiopathic megacolon and megarectum that was successfully treated with proctocolectomy.

The management of hidradenitis suppurativa degenerating into squamous cell carcinoma: About three case reports.

Introduction And Importance: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory and suppurative disease of the apocrine sweat glands. Its transformation into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is very rare.

Case Presentation: We describe 3 cases of males aged 57, 58 and 55-years-old.

Acute pancreatitis as an uncommon complication of hydatid cyst of the liver: A case report and systematic literature review.

Hydatid disease is a major health problem worldwide. The liver is the most frequent location of hydatid disease. Acute pancreatitis secondary to liver hydatid cyst ruptured in the biliary tract is scarce and fewly described in literature.

Management of a primary retroperitoneal hydatid cyst ruptured in the abdominal wall: A case report.

Introduction: Hydatid disease is a global zoonosis. Any organ of the human body can be involved. Single or multiple locations are reported.

Unusual location and complication of a cystic lymphangioma: A case report.

Introduction: This paper reports an uncommon location and complication of a cystic lymphangioma. Few cases of infected colonic cystic lymphangioma were described in literature. Symptoms are non-specific and setting the diagnosis on radiological features remain challenging.

Up-to-down open and laparoscopic liver hanging maneuver: an overview.

Background: The liver hanging maneuver (LHM) was described by Belghiti et al. to facilitate liver resection and is done classically by creating a space between the caudate lobe and the inferior vena cava starting on the edge of caudate lobe and extending cranially, in a para-caval fashion, towards the space between the right and middle hepatic veins. LHM facilitates liver transection, guides anatomical resections, decreases blood loss, facilitates harvesting of the liver graft in live donors, and also has oncological advantages.

[Solid pseudo-papillary tumor of the pancreas].

Solid pseudo-papillary tumors of the pancreas (SPTP) are rare epithelial tumors. In most cases, they occur in young woman in the second or the third decades of life. Survival after primary resection is approximatively 90% at 5 years.

Encapsulating sclerosing peritonitis : two rare observations and literature review.

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a rare and little known pathological entity. It is a chronic fibro-inflammatory disease of the peritoneum, resulting in the formation of a thick fibrous membrane, which engages partially or totally the abdominal organs. Clinical and radiological signs make the diagnosis difficult to establish preoperatively.

[Outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for groin hernia repair: our experience in Tunisia].

Groin hernia in adults is a frequent affection in digestive surgery. Many repair techniques have been described to date, including laparoscopic surgery. Two methods are quickly adopted by the various practitioners for the surgical treatment of groin hernia using laparoscopy: laparoscopic totally extra-peritoneal (TEP) technique and laparoscopic transperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (TAPP).

Long term results of laparoscopic gastric band.

Background: Laparoscopic gastric band (LAGB) has gained popularity among the surgical community since its first description in the early 90'. Actually, it is the third most practiced bariatric procedure in the world. The mean advantage of LAGB is a low rate of early postoperative morbidity.

Surgical management of primary crohn's disease. descriptive study about 226 patients.

Background: The surgery is required in more than 80% of patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Studies before confirm the specific genetic variation of CD in the Tunisian population compared with the others ethnic groups.

Aim: This article aims to study the epidemiological, anatomical and therapeutic principles of surgical forms of CD in a cohort of Tunisian patients.

Anal imperforation in adults: Diagnostic difficulties and therapeutic options.

Anorectal malformations are congenital anomalies ranging from simple perineal fistulas to complex malformations. They are usually treated inchildhood, and exceptionally in adult. We herein report the case of a 22 years aged patient and relate the diagnosis difficulties and therapeuticoptions.

Laparoscopic resection of gastric stromal tumors.

Gastro-intestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal gastrointestinal tumors. The Gastric location represents 60% of cases [1,2]. Complete surgical excision remains the treatment of reference for the localized forms.

Genetic variability and haplotypes of Echinococcus isolates from Tunisia.

Background: The species/genotypes of Echinococcus infecting a range of intermediate, canid and human hosts were examined as well as the intraspecific variation and population structure of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.) within these hosts.

[Surgical management of entero-vesical fistulas in Crohn's disease].

Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine that can cause an attack by contiguity of the urinary tract. Although the shape is common and fistulizing 35% of all patients with CD, entero-urinary fistulas are rare and only seen in 2-8% of patients. aim: To report the frequency of occurrence of this complication among the group of surgical forms of CD.
