The aim of this study was presenting significance of diagnostic process in doctor's daily routine. A 45-year-old patient for a planned laparotomy due to left ovarian cyst detected with a routine transvaginal ultrasound. She did not report any symptoms. Computer tomography of the abdomen and pelvis showed a cystic lesion with segmental wall thick¬ening, measuring 133 ☓ 83 ☓ 135 mm, adjacent to the left ovary and the uterus on the left side. At the laparotomy exploration, a giant cyst, ca. 20 cm in diameter was found above the uterus, on the left side, in the area between the lower and middle abdomen. The histological exam results showed lymphangioma of the small and large intestine mesentery. In this case, lymphangioma was found in a rare location, in the mesentery of the ileocecal valve. It did not present any signs and symptoms. CT used in the present case failed to identify the exact point of origin of the lesion.

Inflammatory bowel disease, particularly Crohn's disease (CD), has been linked to modifications in mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT) and the phenomenon known as "creeping fat" (CrF). The presence of CrF is believed to serve as a predictor for early clinical recurrence following surgical intervention in patients with CD. Notably, the incorporation of the mesentery during ileocolic resection for CD has been correlated with a decrease in surgical recurrence, indicating the significant role of MAT in the pathogenesis of CD.

The persistence of fetal vitelline structures may occur. The primary intestinal arterial supply development happens normally in this scenario, but a vitelline vascular remnant (VVR) persists. A 13-year-old boy with a history of severe and intermittent abdominal pain since early infancy presented to the Emergency Department with clinical, analytical, and ultrasonographic findings suggestive of acute appendicitis.

In this article, we explored the role of adipose tissue, especially mesenteric adipose tissue and creeping fat, and its association with the gut microbiota in the pathophysiology and progression of Crohn's disease (CD). CD is a form of inflammatory bowel disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, influenced by genetic predisposition, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and environmental factors. Gut microbiota plays a crucial role in modulating immune response and intestinal inflammation and is associated with the onset and progression of CD.

It is a rare cause of intestinal atresia, usually diagnosed intraoperatively, therefore, its prognosis is variable and may be associated with high morbidity and mortality.
Objective: To report a case of transmesenteric hernia with multiple intestinal atresia of late diagnosis.

Aim: Complete mesocolic excision (CME) is an oncologically driven technique for treating right colon cancer. While laparoscopic CME is technically demanding and has been associated with more complications, the robotic approach might reduce morbidity. The aim of this study was to assess the safety of stepwise implementation of robotic CME.
