Vaginal peritoneum fistula through pouch of Douglas during peritoneal dialysis: Case report and literature review.

INTRODUCTION: Peritoneal dialysis is the preferred approach for kidney replacement therapy. A peritoneal-vaginal fistula is a rare complication associated with peritoneal dialysis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 69-year-old woman with a history of type two diabetes and systemic arterial hypertension for twenty years is scheduled to undergo the surgical placement of a Tenckoff catheter to begin renal replacement therapy. After having thirty dialysis sessions, she was discharged to continue therapy at home. Five days later, she observed a notable rise in vaginal discharge after peritoneal dialysis. This case report investigates the etiology, diagnosis, and management of peritoneal vaginal fistula and analyzes current medical literature. DISCUSSION: Factors associated with the formation of peritoneum-vaginal fistula include increased intra-abdominal pressure due to dialysis, anatomical predisposition, peritonitis, and malnutrition. CONCLUSIONS: Peritoneal vaginal fistula is an uncommon consequence of peritoneal dialysis. Diagnosis entails demonstrating the movement of dialysis fluid from the peritoneum to the vagina. Treatment should be customized according to the etiology of the fistula and the individual needs of each patient.

Management of High Output Enterocutaneous Fistula due to Richter's Hernia After Gastric Bypass: Video Demonstration.

INTRODUCTION: The increase in laparoscopic surgery in patients with obesity increases the incidence of trocar site hernia (TSH). Therefore, TSH represents a risk for the development of Richter's hernia (RH). METHODS: We present the unusual case of a postoperative gastric bypass patient complicated with a high output enterocutaneous fistula through a trocar site wound. RESULTS: The Laparoscopic surgery consists of an RH reduction, enterotomy, and repair of the preperitoneal space. CONCLUSION: RH complicated by high-output enterocutaneous fistula has not been previously reported. It is essential to close the preperitoneal space in bariatric surgery to avoid these complications.

Mesenteric cyst manifested as obesity, gastroesophageal reflux, urinary incontinence, and abdominal mass during pregnancy-Case report and literature review.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: The mesenteric cyst (MC) is a rare entity, a benign lesion that causes the growth of an abdominal mass and other clinical presentations. The presentation of MC during pregnancy is even less frequent. CASE PRESENTATION: A 34-year-old Mexican woman presented with a mesenteric cyst treated with laparotomy aspiration during the 16th week of pregnancy; the pregnancy was resolved by cesarean section without problems. Nevertheless, 17 months later, the lesion recurred. New assessment and surgical treatment with complete excision are performed without evidence of further recurrence. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: This case is essential due to the low frequency of association between pregnancy and mesenteric cyst. Incomplete resection, aspiration, and marsupialization of the lesion carry a high risk of recurrence. Therefore, the opportune moment to perform a complete resection of the lesion and avoid complications should be evaluated during pregnancy. CONCLUSION: MC should be considered a differential diagnosis in cystic lesions during pregnancy. Imaging studies, complete surgical resection, histological evaluation, and follow-up are necessary for adequate treatment.

Manejo multidisciplinario con drenaje interno endoscópico en fuga post manga gástrica / Multidisciplinary management with endoscopic internal drain of gastric sleeve leak

INTRODUCCIÓN. El número de pacientes con obesidad ha aumentado durante las tres últimas décadas. En el 2016 la manga gástrica ocupó el 53,6% de los procedimientos bariátricos a nivel mundial y la fístula gástrica es una complicación que tiene una prevalencia entre el 0,50 al 7,00%. CASO CLÍNICO. Paciente femenina de 46 años, con Índice de Masa Corporal de 45,20 kg/m 2, más dislipidemia y un exceso de peso de 54 kg al inicio del protocolo; presentó como complicación temprana fístula gástrica localizada en tercio superior con sepsis abdominal que necesitó cirugía de revisión con lavado más colocación de drenajes. RESULTADOS. Se realizó manejo con endoprótesis esofágica que migró por dos ocasiones, ameritó retiro, con posterior colocación de sonda nasoyeyunal más drenaje interno pigtail a través de la solución de continuidad. A los 39 días post cirugía de revisión egresó con cierre de fuga con Índice de Masa Corporal de 36 kg/m2 y parámetros nutricionales normales. DISCUSIÓN. La fístula o fuga post manga gástrica tienen cierre sin corrección quirúrgica que depende de las serie de hasta el 97,1%. El manejo endoscópico presentó resultados satisfactorios mediante el uso de catéter de drenaje interno "pigtail". CONCLUSIÓN. El manejo sistemático multidisciplinario para una fístula gástrica temprana con nutrición enteral mediante sonda nasoyeyunal más colocación endoscópica de drenaje interno "pigtail", fue una estrategia disponible para resolución de esta complicación, primer caso reportado en el país.

INTRODUCTION. The number of obese patients has increased over the past three decades. In 2016, gastric sleeve accounted for 53,6% of bariatric procedures worldwide, and gastric fistula is a complication with a prevalence of between 0,50 and 7,00%. CLINICAL CASE. 46-year-old female patient, with a Body Mass Index of 45,20 kg/m2, plus dyslipidemia and an excess weight of 54 kg at the beginning of the protocol; It presented as an early complication gastric fistula located in the upper third with abdominal sepsis that required revision surgery with lavage plus placement of drains. RESULTS. Management was carried out with an esophageal endoprosthesis that migrated twice, meriting removal, with subsequent placement of a nasojejunal tube plus internal pigtail drainage through the continuity solution. 39 days after revision surgery, he was discharged with leak closure with a Body Mass Index of 36 kg/m2 and normal nutritional parameters. DISCUSSION. The fistula or post gastric sleeve leak has closure without surgical correction that depends on the series of up to 97,1%. Endoscopic management presented satisfactory results using a pigtail internal drainage catheter. CONCLUSION. The systematic multidisciplinary management for an early gastric fistula with enteral nutrition through nasojejunal tube plus endoscopic placement of internal drainage "pigtail" was an available strategy for resolution of this complication, the first case reported in country.

Robot-assisted surgery and endoscopic management of gastrocolic fistula: A rare complication of acute pancreatitis in a patient who had undergone sleeve gastrectomy.

Ten years after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, a 39-year-old man developed pancreatitis and, after recovery, presented with severe diarrhea. An image study showed barium contrast passing from the stomach to the colon. Before surgery, initial treatment consisted of parenteral nutrition and antibiotics. The patient then underwent robot-assisted resection of a gastrocolic fistula and omentoplasty. However, 72 h after surgery, the amount of suction drainage suggested that the fistulous track repair was leaking. Therefore, we decided to perform endoscopy to place a self-expanding covered stent at the gastroesophageal junction as well as a nasojejunal tube to continue nutritional supplementation. After the patient had fasted for 2 weeks, there was no evidence of leakage in the image studies. The patient was discharged after he had clinically improved, and the stent was removed at the end of 8 weeks. The combination of robot-assisted surgery and endoscopic management is effective for treating gastrocolic fistula.

[Gastrointestinal bleeding and delirium, challenges in the diagnosis of gallstone ileus: A case report and review of literature]. / Sangrado de tubo digestivo y delirium, retos en el diagnóstico de íleo biliar: reporte de un caso y revisión de bibliografía.

BACKGROUND: Gallstone ileus is a non-strangulated mechanical obstruction of the small bowel or colon as a result of the passage of gallstones through a biliary enteric fistula. It is a rare complication of cholelithiasis, affects patients over 65 years, and the disease occurs predominantly in females. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult due to the lack of specific signs and symptoms in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities. CLINICAL CASE: A 93-year-old female presenting with a one-week history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, electrolyte imbalance and community- acquired pneumonia pneumonia. During her prolonged hospital stay she presented an intestinal obstruction. The diagnosis of gallstone ileus was made by CT scan. Despite surgical treatment, she died due to late diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: Gallstone ileus is a rare pathology, difficulty in diagnosis prolongs hospital stay, which directly influences mortality.
