[Adult intestinal no rotation]. / No rotación intestinal en adultos: causa infrecuente de abdomen agudo oclusivo.

90% of cases of intestinal obstruction caused by intestinal malrotation occur in children under 1 year of age, being very uncommon in adults. A female patient of 27 years of age consults with abdominal pain, vomiting, abdominal distention, dehydration and signs of severe malnutrition. After EGDS, CT scan, and 48 hours of clinical expectation, surgical intervention was decided with diagnosis of high intestinal obstruction. Intraoperative finding was no intestinal rotation at all. Ladd´s technique was performed together with prophylactic appendectomy. Postoperative evolution was favorable. The rare presentation in adults motivates the presentation of this case.

Complicación de colecistectomía laparoscópica no publicada / Complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy unpublished

Introducción: Las complicaciones de la cirugía laparoscópica son una nueva entidad nosológica de fines del siglo XX, desde el inicio de la misma se han publicado múltiples complicaciones desde leves hasta graves, incluso con muerte de los pacientes. Objetivo: Presentación de un caso clínico. Caso Clínico: Paciente femenino de 48 años, se realizó colecistectomía laparoscópica en sanatorio privado con técnica americana sin complicaciones. 14 meses después consulta a nuestro hospital por dolores abdominales de tipo punzante, sin otro tipo de sintomatología, antecedente de 4 cesáreas y eventración media infraumbilical. Se solicita radiografía de abdomen y TAC. Se evidencia oblito quirúrgico, se decide la intervención quirúrgica, laparotomía media infraumbilical. Hallazgo: mandril de aguja de Verres. Buena evolución con alta a las 72 hs. Discusión: No se halló reporte sobre la posibilidad que el mandril de una aguja descartable se desprenda y quede dentro de la cavidad abdominal. Numerosos trabajos avalan la no utilización de la aguja de Verres para el neumoperitoneo, y aconsejan la utilización de la técnica de Hasson o mini-laparotomía, o los sistemas tipo optic-view para el ingreso de la cavidad.

Introduction: Complications of laparoscopic surgery are a new entity of the late twentieth century, from the beginning of the century have been published multiple complications, from mild to severe, even death of the patients. Objective: Presentation of a clinical case. Case report: Female aged 48, with a history of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a private hospital 14 months ago with no complications, consulted our hospital with sharp abdominal pain, no other symptoms, with history of two caesarean sections and a infraumbilical eventration. CT and radiography is requested. Evidenced surgical oblito, deciding surgical intervention, infraumbilical laparotomy. Finding: Verres needle mandrel. Patient is discharged 72 hs later. Discusion: We found no report on the possibility that verres needle mandrel discards and remain in the abdominal cavity.

Primary gastric rhabdomyosarcoma. Case report.

Rhabdomyosarcomas are rare and malignant tumors. There have been reported two histological types of gastric rhabdomyosarcomas, the pleomorphic and embryonal cell types. We report the case of a 53-year-old male with endoscopic diagnosis of a Bormann type III ulcer which revealed a gastric primary rhabdomyosarcoma. Ultrasound showed two liver lesions, two hepatic pedicle lymph nodes and a huge primary gastric tumor. CT scan revealed a primary gastric tumor. The patient is submitted to a distal gastrectomy with a Billroth II reconstruction and a resection of the distal liver metastases at segment IV The patient was discharged uneventfully on the eighth postoperative day. The gold standard for a final diagnoses is the immuno-histochemical staining of the endoscopic biopsy. There is very little information on the results of chemotherapy and the surgical treatment is the best choice.
