RESUMO
We present a case of a 30-year-old woman with a gangrenous right colon secondary to caecal volvulus, diagnosed postabdominoplasty. To our knowledge, this is the first case recorded in the literature. An emergency right hemicolectomy was performed and the patient had an unremarkable recovery. Given the severity of this incident, the diagnosis of caecal volvulus postabdominoplasty requires a high index of suspicion to allow prompt diagnosis and treatment.

The majority of patients with small bowel diverticula are asymptomatic, however, associated complications include inflammation, intestinal obstruction, perforation and gastrointestinal haemorrhage. Bladder divertulae are uncommon and can herniate into the femoral or inguinal canal as well as the scrotum. We report the case of an elderly lady who underwent laparotomy for an incarcerated femoral hernia and was found to have the catheter balloon stuck into a bladder diverticulum in the femoral canal and coexisting small bowel diverticular perforation.
RESUMO
Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine. Common complications related to a Meckel's diverticulum include haemorrhage, intestinal obstruction and inflammation. Gangrene due to axial torsion and enteroliths of a Meckel's diverticulum are the rarest complications that have been reported in the literature. We report a case of gangrene due to axial torsion of giant Meckel's diverticulum with multiple stones in its lumen.
RESUMO
A 75 year old gentleman who presented with an incarcerated paraumibilical hernia was found intraoperatively to have small bowel perforation due to a piece of china with a synchronous asymptomatic sigmoid carcinoma.
