Article Abstract
Objective: Suture granulomas are localised inflammatory reactions that develop at the site of retained suture material. They are a rare surgical complication that is sometimes radiologically challenging to diagnose, especially if the intra-abdominal is communicating with the anterior abdominal wall.
Methods: The case reported here was a 22-year-old female who presented with right iliac fossa pain 5 months post-appendectomy, which turned out to be due to a suture granuloma. Ultrasonography and CT with and without contrast misdiagnosed the lesion as an abscess or less likely as neoplasm. Conclusive diagnosis was based upon histopathological examination of tissue obtained by biopsy.
Conclusion: When reviewing the images of patients who present with post-operative surgical complications, it is crucial to consider suture granuloma as a distinct possibility. A definitive diagnosis saves the patient from undergoing unnecessary extensive surgeries and improves the patient experience.

Immediate Stentless Lacrimal Sac to Conjunctiva Reconstructive Ostomy for Cancer and Trauma Defects: LACROS (Conjunctivodacryocystostomy).
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
January 2025
Plastic Surgery Unit, Clínica San Francisco, Tuluá, Colombia.
Purpose: To describe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of lacrimal sac to conjunctiva reconstructive ostomy for proximal lacrimal system reconstruction.
Methods: This retrospective study included 41 patients (32 cancer and 9 trauma; 36 primary and 5 secondary) who underwent lacrimal sac to conjunctiva reconstructive ostomy. The technique involves creating a direct connection between a surgical opening in the lacrimal sac, which maintains its bony attachments to prevent ostomy occlusion, and the medial conjunctiva (medial fornix, bulbar, and palpebral).
