Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Raigmore Hospital, NHS Highland, Inverness, United Kingdom.
BACKGROUND Acute epiploic appendagitis is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain characterized by pain in the left or right lower quadrants of the abdomen. It is caused by torsion or spontaneous venous thrombosis of one of the epiploic appendages, which are found along the colon, most commonly in the sigmoid colon. The literature consistently compares the presenting symptoms and clinical picture of acute epiploic appendagitis to acute diverticulitis and acute appendicitis.

Article Synopsis
- Hysterectomy can lead to complications like vaginal nodules, which may signal issues such as cancer or endometriosis, and in rare cases, abdominal organ prolapse.
- This report details a rare case of a 55-year-old woman's prolapsed epiploica of the colon at the vaginal cuff, discovered after she had a robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy for cancer.
- Histological analysis indicated fat necrosis and calcification in the vaginal polyp, underscoring the need for comprehensive examination of such nodules to rule out serious conditions.
Lymphadenectomy for Gastric Cancer.
Surg Clin North Am
February 2025
Lewis Katz School of Medicine at St Lukes University Health Network, 800 Ostrum Street, Bethlehem, PA 18015, USA; Temple University School of Medicine, Bethlehem, PA, USA. Electronic address:
Current treatment for gastric cancer includes a multidisciplinary approach of systemic therapy and surgery. While retrospective, prospective, and randomized trials have demonstrated conflicting results on the need for extended lymphadenectomy, current guidelines dictate a recommendation for the retrieval of at least 16 lymph nodes to accurately stage patients. The "D1" lymph nodes along the major gastric and epiploic vessels may provide adequate lymph node harvest, though "D2" lymphadenectomy along the celiac axis and its branches may be necessary.
