Surgical management after Oxaliplatin extravasation: A case report and literature review.

This case report describes a unique case of chronic reaction after extravasation of oxaliplatin. The pain and extensive subcutaneous induration did not resolve after 9 months of conservative treatment. Surgical debridement with removal of the totally implantable venous access device (TIVAD) resulted in immediate resolution of the symptoms.

The inferior mesoiliacal shunt: A novel shunt for refractory rectal variceal bleeding due to splanchnic thrombosis.

Surgical shunt therapy may be required when pharmacologic, endoscopic, and radiologic treatment of chronic splanchnic vein thrombosis have failed. In this case report, we present a new interposition shunt for the treatment of refractory rectal variceal bleeding: the inferior mesoiliacal shunt between the inferior mesenteric vein and the left common iliac vein using a cryopreserved iliac venous graft. The postoperative course was complicated by shunt thrombosis at day 2, probably owing to inadvertent interruption of anticoagulation and a decrease in the shunt flow rate.
