Heterotopic ossification (HO) is rarely seen after abdominal surgery and usually occurs after orthopedic surgery. It is a benign affection with an unknown mechanism and an unpredictable occurrence rate; but some etiopathogenic hypotheses have been put forward. Therapeutic attitudes were not assessed in this study. We report two observations of heterotopic ossification on mid-line laparotomy scar which could support the etiopathogenic hypothesis of osteoblastic cells migration in granulation tissue from the neighbouring bone tissue, particularly from the sternum or pubian structures. The etiopathogenic mechanism and treatment of this affection are discussed with regards to previously published literature.

Abdominal pregnancy (AP) is a rare event of globally reported pregnancy and is significantly challenging to diagnose because of various symptoms. Therefore, we aimed to present a case of a 26-year-old female with unexpected AP of third pregnancy found during emergency fetal evacuation laparotomy. The possible scenario was found to be fetus implanted into the fibroid scar of her obstetric history, leading to complications with uterine rupture.

Despite the variety of proposed solutions, anastomotic leakage is still a critical complication after colorectal surgery, which causes increased clinical mortality and morbidity. By enhancing microcirculation in the colonic mucosa, the use of Iloprost (Ilo) has shown promising results for the healing of anastomosis. The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of Ilo-impregnated Polycaprolactone:Gelatin electrospun membranes (PCL/Gel/Ilo) on anastomosis repair and intra-abdominal adhesion behavior in the Rat colon.
