A 44 year-old previously healthy woman presented a persistent epigastric pain. Computed tomography revealed a saccular aneurysm with a diameter of 25x20 mm in the first jejunal artery and also a stenosis in the celiac trunk associated with median arcuate ligament syndrome, turning the hepatic perfusion dependent of the gastroduodenal artery flow. Through a midline laparotomy, celiac axis was exposed, and median arcuate ligament released for median arcuate ligament syndrome treatment.

Division of Acute Care Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA.
Purpose: Evidence to guide the application of damage control laparotomy (DCL) in emergency surgery patients is limited. We assessed whether DCL use for emergent small bowel or colon surgery increased over time and its impact on outcomes. We hypothesized that DCL would be utilized more often in patients with significant comorbidities or septic shock with improved outcomes.

Effective Care Research Unit, University of the Witwatersrand and Walter Sisulu University, East London, South Africa.
Objective: To compare low-cost "Suction Tube Uterine Tamponade" (STUT) treatment for refractory postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) with uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) using a randomized feasibility study.
Methods: After verbal assent, we allocated participants with refractory PPH by randomly ordered envelopes to STUT or routine UBT at 10 hospitals in South Africa and one tertiary referral center in Colombia between January 10, 2020, and May 3, 2024. In the STUT group, we inserted a 24 FG Levin stomach tube into the uterine cavity and applied suction.
Impact of preoperative frailty on outcomes in patients subjected to emergency laparotomy: a prospective study.
Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg
January 2025
North Estonia Medical Centre, Sütiste tee 19, Tallinn, 13419, Estonia.
Purpose: Emergency laparotomy (EL) is a high-risk procedure, especially in frail patients. This study investigates the prevalence of frailty in referral facilities, evaluates the impact of frailty on postoperative morbidity and mortality, and assesses the long-term effect of EL on patients' functional status.
Methods: This prospective multicentre cohort study included patients aged 50 years and older who underwent EL.
Long-term impact of emergency laparotomy on health-related quality of life.
Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg
January 2025
Emergency Surgery Research Group Copenhagen (EMERGE), Department og Hepatic and Gastrointestinal Diseases, Copenhagen University Hospital- Herlev and Gentofte, Herlev, 2730, Denmark.
Purpose: Emergency laparotomy can result in a range of physical and neuropsychiatric postoperative complaints, potentially impacting quality of life. This study aimed to assess the effect of emergency laparotomy on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and how HRQoL influences the risk of readmission.
Method: HRQoL was assessed in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy during a 1-year period.
