RESUMEN
A 62-year-old female patient was admitted for abdominal pain and vomiting. Imaging tests revealed a solid-cystic lesion at the head of the pancreas communicating with the distal bile duct. A Todani type II choledochal cyst was diagnosed with neoplastic degeneration after cytological diagnosis with endoscopic ultrasound-guided puncture. The patient was treated with a cephalic duodenopancreatectomy with curative intention.

OBJECTIVE: Gastrojejunal stricture (GYS), not only is a common complication after laparoscopic gastric bypass (LGBP), but its frequency is about 15% according to bibliography. Our aim is to present our experience after 62 LGBP. PATIENTS AND METHOD: From January 2004 to September-2006, we performed 62 consecutive laparoscopic gastric bypass (Wittgrove's technique). The gastrojejunal anastomosis is performed with auto suture material type CEAA No 21 termino-lateral (ILS, Ethicon). In 4 cases (6.45%) was converted to laparotomy, perform the anastomosis in the same way. Monitoring has a range of 3-35 months, conducted in 61 patients because one patient died of pulmonary thromboembolism in the immediate postoperative period after reoperation, after two weeks of gastric bypass, by necrosis of a small fragment of the remnant gastric. In all patients with persistent feeding intolerance were performed barium transit and/or gastroscopy. When gastrojejunal stricture showed proceeded to endoscopic pneumatic dilation (recommending dilate the anastomosis to a maximum 1.5 cm). RESULTS: Five cases (8.1%) developed a gastrojejunal stricture, in 4 of these cases the initial diagnosis was made by barium transit and in 1 case by endoscopy. Two patients had a history of digestive bleeding that required endoscopic sclerosis of the bleeding lesion (circumferentially sclerosis within 48 hours of surgery and sclerosis of bleeding points). All cases were resolved by endoscopic dilatation. At follow-up has not been detected re-stricture. CONCLUSION: Clinically, gastrojejunal stricture results in a progressive oral intolerance, revealing stenosis between 1 and 3 months postoperatively. The situations of sclerosis of the bleeding lesions favor, especially in cases of extensive sclerosis. In cases of suspected barium transit offers us a high diagnostic yield. Endoscopic dilatation resolved, so far, all cases.

AIMS: To analyze diagnostic and therapeutic options depending on the clinical symptoms, location, and lesions associated with intussusception, together with their follow-up and complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients admitted to the Morales Meseguer General University Hospital (Murcia) between January 1995 and January 2009, and diagnosed with intestinal invagination. Data related to demographic and clinical features, complementary explorations, presumptive diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and complications were collected. RESULTS: There were 14 patients (7 males and 7 females; mean age: 41.9 years-range: 17-77) who presented with abdominal pain. The most reliable diagnostic technique was computed tomography (8 diagnoses from 10 CT scans). A preoperative diagnosis was established in 12 cases. Invaginations were ileocolic in 8 cases (the most common), enteric in 5, and colocolic in 2 (coexistence of 2 lesions in one patient). The etiology of these intussusceptions was idiopathic or secondary to a lesion acting as the lead point for invagination. Depending on the nature of this lead point, the cause of the enteric intussusceptions was benign in 3 cases and malignant in 2. Ileocolic invaginations were divided equally (4 benign and 4 malignant), and colocolic lesions were benign (2 cases). Conservative treatment was implemented for 4 patients and surgery for 10 (7 in emergency). Five right hemicolectomies, 3 small-bowel resections, 2 left hemicolectomies, and 1 ileocecal resection were performed. Surgical complications: 3 minor and 1 major (with malignant etiology and subsequent death). The lesion disappeared after 3 days to 6 weeks in patients with conservative management. Mean follow-up was 28.25 months (range: 5-72 months). CONCLUSIONS: A suitable imaging technique, preferably CT, is important for the diagnosis of intussusception. Surgery is usually necessary but we favor conservative treatment in selected cases.

The authors report the case of a hepatic artery aneurysm which ruptured into the peritoneal cavity in the course of acute, gangrenous cholecystitis, which was treated successfully. The clinical aspects of the case, its evolution and the histological study, which appeared to indicate that adjacent inflammation was the cause of the rupture, are discussed. Treatment of hepatic artery aneurysms is conditioned to a great degree by the gravity of the onset, and in most cases ligature is the only feasible procedure. Other forms of treatment may be possible when the aneurysm is intrahepatically located or it is diagnosed before rupture.

Rhabdomyolysis has been increasingly recognized as a complication of bariatric surgery. We report a case of this complication and its consequences, in a patient who had undergone bariatric surgery, with a very high creatine kinase (CK) concentration, and whose renal function failed. Obesity causes a range of effects on all major organ systems. Knowledge of these effects and issues specific to the intensive care unit care of bariatric patients can help to predict and manage this underestimated complication in this population in which early diagnosis can alter the outcome.

Objetivos: analizar las opciones terapéuticas en función de laclínica, localización y lesión asociada a la intususcepción, asícomo, su seguimiento y complicaciones.Pacientes y métodos: pacientes ingresados en el HGU MoralesMeseguer (Murcia) desde enero de 1995 hasta enero 2009,con diagnóstico de invaginación intestinal. Se recogieron datosdemográficos, clínicos, exploraciones complementarias, diagnósticopresuntivo, tratamiento, seguimiento y complicaciones.Resultados: 14 pacientes (edad media 41,9 años, rango: 17-77), 7 varones y 7 mujeres, que debutaron principalmente condolor abdominal. La exploración más fiable en el diagnóstico fuela tomografía computerizada, TC (8 diagnósticos, de 10 exploraciones).El diagnóstico preoperatorio se obtuvo en 12 casos, encontrando,invaginaciones ileocólicas en 8 casos (las más frecuentes),entéricas en 5 casos y colocólicas en 2, teniendo en cuentaque son 14 los pacientes y 15 las lesiones debido a la coexistenciade 2 invaginaciones en un mismo sujeto. La etiología de las intususcepcioneses idiopática o secundaria a una lesión que hace de cabeza de invaginación. Según la naturaleza de dichas lesiones lacausa de intususcepciones entéricas fue benigna en 3 casos y malignaen 2. De las ileocólicas, se repartieron equitativamente (4benignas y 4 malignas); y de las colocólicas, sus lesiones fueronbenignas (2 casos).

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Intestinal invagination in adults is an uncommon but potentially serious condition that is usually diagnosed during surgery by the presence of a mechanical obstructive syndrome. We report a series of adults with intestinal invagination and discuss preoperative diagnosis and surgical procedures. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analyzed the files of all the seven patients aged over 18 years with a postoperative diagnosis of intestinal invagination and treated at our center between 1996 and 2000. RESULTS: Preoperative causal diagnosis was established in six cases by ultrasonography and computed tomography. All the patients received surgery, three as emergency and four programmed. The lesions causing the invagination were: three benign (Meckel's diverticulum, inflammatory pseudotumor, fibroid polyp) and one malignant (degenerative villous adenoma polyp) located in the terminal ileum, two malignant lesions in the cecum (both adenocarcinomas over a polyp), and in the remaining case a double lymphoma of the jejunum and ileum. The intussusceptions were ileoileal in three cases and ileocolic in four. We performed intestinal resection in six cases and one excision of Meckel's diverticulum. CONCLUSION: Preoperative diagnosis of intussusception was possible in most cases. Sonography and computed tomography proved the most effective and useful preoperative diagnostic methods. In adults colonic invagination is almost always malignant while small bowel is almost always benign. Invagination in adults must be clarified by surgery, and intestinal resection is the procedure of choice.

BACKGROUND: Perianal hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic recurrent inflammatory, suppurating, and fistulizing disease of apocrine glands, adjacent anal canal skin, and soft tissues. The standard treatment used for extensive cases is a staged surgical procedure allowing the wound to heal by secondary intention or the delayed use of skin grafts. CASE PRESENTATION: A long-standing case, disabling for the patient, with extensive involvement of the buttock region, treated in one stage, which for reconstruction required the use of sliding plasties and free skin grafts, is reported. RESULTS: The outcome was satisfactory. Primary closure after wide excision using plastic-surgery techniques may help us resolve complex situations and obtain good results and a rapid recovery. CONCLUSION: The method of closure with a combination of skin flaps and skin graft in one stage can be considered a valid surgical option for a group of patients with extensive perianal hidradenitis.
