Exploratory laparotomies for blunt or penetrating trauma often result in significant morbidity. Despite advancements in resuscitation, surgical techniques, and antibiotics, intra-abdominal abscesses remain a serious complication, contributing to poor outcomes and extended hospital stays. Percutaneous computed tomography-guided drainage is the standard treatment for abscesses, offering high success rates and low morbidity.

Rationale: Ovarian tumor torsion is a critical gynecological emergency, predominantly affecting women of reproductive age, with benign teratomas being the most common culprits. In contrast, malignant ovarian tumors, such as mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, infrequently present with torsion due to their invasive and angiogenic characteristics. The occurrence of torsion in malignant tumors complicates diagnosis and management, particularly when associated with complications like congestion, infarction, and internal bleeding.

Heterotopic pregnancy is defined as the simultaneous presence of an intrauterine and an extrauterine pregnancy and is considered a rare condition. As a part of this entity, heterotopic triplet pregnancy, defined as the presence of three embryos, with at least one being ectopic, is exceedingly rare. In recent years, the broad use of assisted reproductive techniques to help infertile couples has contributed to the constant rise of non-spontaneous heterotopic triplets.

Endometrioma is a localized form of endometriosis, usually found within the ovaries bilaterally, containing degenerated blood products resulting from bleeding of ectopic endometriotic tissue at different ages. Rupture of the endometrioma is a rare complication that may result in hemoperitoneum and peritonitis and thus presents similarly to other more common abdominal emergencies, and the concomitant presence of a ruptured endometrioma and another abdominal emergency, although exceptional, remains possible. Ultrasonography and sectional imaging can be used to assess a diagnosis that is often confirmed postoperatively.
