RESUMO
Acute pelvic pain is a common condition in emergency. The sources of acute pelvic pain are multifactorial, so it is important to be familiar with this type of pathologies. The purpose of this article is review the main causes of gynecological acute pelvic pain and their radiologic appearances to be able to make an accurate diagnosis and provide objective criteria for patient management.

Complications after abdominal surgery are often seen in emergency departments. Many postoperative complications (e.g., infections, abscesses, hematomas, and active bleeding) are common to all types of surgery; others are specific to different types of surgery. Computed tomography (CT) is the technique normally used to diagnose postoperative complications. This article reviews the changes that occur after some of the most common abdominal interventions that can be mistaken for pathological processes, the findings that can be considered normal after surgical intervention, and the most common early complications. It also describes the optimal protocols for CT studies depending on the different types of complications that are suspected.

Complications after surgery for colorectal cancer are common in emergency departments. Multidetector computed tomography plays a fundamental role in the follow-up of patients after surgery, because it enables the detection of relapse and complications. Radiologists need to be familiar with different surgical techniques and the normal postsurgical changes so that we can differentiate them from potential complications and relapse. This article reviews the multidetector computed tomography findings that can be considered normal after surgical intervention for colorectal cancer as well as the most common early complications seen in postsurgical colorectal cancer patients presenting at emergency departments.
