Management of colocutaneus fistula with laparoscopic surgery: Case report

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colocutaneous fistulas can occur as the result of complications from diverticular colon surgery. Enterocutaneous fistula is a type of fistula that accounts for about 88.2% of all fistulas. In this report, we describe a case reports of the management of colocutaneous fistula with laparoscopic surgery.

Case presentation

In this case reports, both patients complained of increased amount of abdominal discharge after surgery. In Case 1, a 43-year-old female patient complained of a lump in her lower abdomen which had been there for three months. After removal of the lump, there was blood in the drainage tube. After three months, her surgeon advised to close the stoma. In Case 2, a 47-year-old male patient lived with colocutaneous fistula for a year. He had been involved in a traffic accident and underwent laparotomy sigmoidostomy. Both patients experienced pain, and there also were feces and bad odor coming out from the surgical incision. Then, both patients underwent colonoscopy, which revealed coloncutaneous fistulas. Laparoscopic surgery was conducted and there was adhesion between the sigmoid colon and ileum in the ventral abdomen wall. After the laparoscopic procedure, the patients were discharged 3 days later without any complaints.

Conclusions

Laparoscopic colectomy has recently replaced open resection as standard surgery. This procedure is safe, feasible, and effective for diverticular disease. Highlights • Laparoscopic colectomy.• Diverticular disease.• Management of Colocutaneous Fistula.

Gastro-colo-bronchial fistula after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy; case report.

Project description:Obesity and its related comorbidities is a major health problem worldwide. Sleeve gastrectomy is regarded to be one of the most effective bariatric surgeries with a relatively low risks of complications. Gastrobronchial fistula is an extremely rare and a serious complication after bariatric surgeries, it is associated with major morbidity. A 48-year-old obese lady with a BMI of 40 had underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy 7 years ago, she developed leak at the 10th postoperative day which was treated with drainage. After 4 years she presented with left subphrenic abscess which was treated with drainage, splenectomy and endoscopic stent. After one year she had repeated chest infections and was coughing-up recently ingested food items. CT-scan showed left subphrenic collection with abnormal fistulous tract between the bronchial tree and the subphrenic cavity. Left thoracotomy was performed, a complex fistula was found between the remnant parts of the gastric fundus, transverse colon and lung. Resection of the fistula was performed, the stomach and colon were closed in 2 layers, resection of the affected segment of lung was performed and the diaphragm was sutured. The BMI was 19 at the last admission. Gastro-colo-bronchial fistula is unreported after sleeve gastrectomy and the management is challenging. Surgeons may follow the same principles of management as in cases of gastrobronchial fistula, but we suggest earlier surgical intervention with the administration of broad spectrum antibiotics. Nutritional deficiencies must be corrected, and such patients must be treated with multidisciplinary team, with an extended duration of follow-up.

Bronchovenous Fistula During Adult Cardiac Surgery: A Case Report.

Project description:Bronchovenous fistula (BVF) associated with adult cardiac surgery is a rarely reported life-threatening condition. We present a 75-year-old woman who developed a BVF during cardiac surgery. Dense adhesion in the pleural and pericardial cavities was noted. Restrictive pulmonary pathology required high airway pressure. Transesophageal echocardiography and hemoglobin measurement were helpful for the timely diagnosis of BVF, which was controlled by transection of the right upper pulmonary vein where a vent catheter had been inserted. Injuries around the cannulated site presumably initiated the BVF, which was worsened by high-pressure ventilation. Therefore, cannulation site might be a risk factor for BVF.

Case report: Adrenal myelolipoma resected by laparoscopic surgery.

Project description:IntroductionAdrenal myelolipomas are benign tumors composed mainly of lipomatous elements with myeloid cells. With the development of medical imaging technology, the detection rate has gradually increased. We report a case of adrenal myelolipoma successfully excised through the laparoscope and reviewed existing literature in recent ten years to summarize the feasibility of the laparoscopic approach for this tumor.Case presentationHerein, we described a case of adrenal myelolipoma resected by laparoscope in a 63-year-old male patient. He did not have any other symptoms except the incidental finding of a left adrenal mass. An abdominal CT examination revealed a mixed-density lesion containing some amount of adipose tissue. In conjunction with the patient's willingness, we performed a laparoscopic operation to remove the lump. The definite diagnosis was confirmed as an adrenal myelolipoma according to the pathology. The patient recovered well postoperatively and without signs of recurrence at a 5-month follow-up.ConclusionAdrenal myelolipoma is commonly benign, asymptomatic, and hormonal inactivity. A surgical strategy is suggested for high-complication-risk patients. The laparoscopic approach is safe and effective with an obvious advantage over open procedures.

Same problem, different approaches: transvesical and extravesical laparoscopic vesicovaginal fistula repair-case report.

Project description:Vesicovaginal fistulas (VVaFs) are relatively uncommon in developed countries but with devastating consequences for the women suffering them. Conservative management has a low response rate. The surgical repair is a technically demanding procedure. Transvaginal, open transabdominal or laparoscopic (pure or robot-assisted) approaches have been described with similar post-operative results. We report two real-life cases of VVaF after surgery of benign gynaecological conditions, both presenting with continuous urinary incontinence and repaired with laparoscopic surgery. The first case had a simple tract above the trigone and was managed with an extravesical approach. The second is a complex case with multiple fistulous tracts that required a transabdominal-transvesical approach (modified O'Connor technique). Both patients have their fistula closed and are continent after surgery with a mean follow-up of 9 months. Given the lack on evidence for the selection of the best approach, it is important to report the outcomes with the different surgical techniques in both simple and complex fistulae. A pre-operative exhaustive study of the location and number of fistulous tracts is essential, as well as selecting the technique which best allows tissue dissection and tension-free suture to get a successful closure. Therefore, knowledge of several procedures and approaches is mandatory when dealing with this disorder.

Iatrogenic nerve lesion following laparoscopic surgery. A case report.

Project description:BackgroundPeripheral neuropathy after surgical treatment is an under recognized potential untoward event. Pelvic surgery may be associated with nerve lesions by essentially three main mechanisms: transection, entrapment and pressure-stretching; the latter is the modality most frequently linked to patient's positioning on the operating room table.Presentation of the caseA 25 years old woman, after undergoing a laparoscopic gynaecologic procedure lasted >3 hours, on postoperative day one presented with numbness over her lateral right leg and dorsum of the foot, right foot drop and gait instability due to compression-stretching of the right superficial peroneal nerve.DiscussionPatient's diagnostic work up, treatment and outcome are reported and measures on how to prevent the occurrence of such type of lesion are outlined together with the importance of an early postoperative diagnosis in order to avoid permanent nerve damage.ConclusionSuch lesions are sometimes so unexpected that delayed diagnosis leads to damages which are difficult or impossible to repair. Primary prevention plays a key role and it is realized by adhering to specific protocols. In the occurrence of the lesion a prompt diagnosis is highly recommendable and a comprehensive therapeutic plan is necessary to correctly address the specific pathology.

Laparoscopic management of Rhabdomyosarcoma of common Bile duct, Case report

Project description:Introduction Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) is a malignant soft tissue musculoskeletal tumor which constitutes about 0.06% of all malignancies affecting children. Biliary tract ERMS is still rare, though it is considered the most common cause of malignant obstructive jaundice in children. Case presentation A report of a 2-year-old boy, who was presented with recurrent episodes of scleral icterus of three months duration, is added to the related literature. His labs went with obstructive jaundice and the radiological investigations were consistent with a diagnosis of choledochal cyst. The found mass was suspected to be an ERMS of common bile duct and turned out to be so by the histopathology. He was managed totally by laparoscope, both excision and hepaticojejunostomy reconstruction, which is an extremely uncommon entity. Conclusion Common Bile Duct Rhabdomyosarcoma is rare and diagnosis at this anatomical site is difficult. Our case highlights the feasibility of laparoscopic resection and hepaticojejunostomy reconstruction with very good results at 16-month follow up and parents' gratitude as well. Highlights • Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare malignant tumor affecting children.• RMS is worth considering when dealing with a choledochal cyst.• Surgical approaches reported for biliary RMS were laparotomies.• Laparoscopic management is feasible for biliary RMS.• Our case is the least invasive surgical approach reported up to date.

The successful management for long-term intractable enteroatmospheric fistula: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionEfficacy of open abdomen management with negative pressure wound therapy for enteroatmospheric fistula has been performed. But, few reports have shown its utility for enteroatmospheric fistula several years after onset.Presentation of caseA 46 year-old woman underwent total colectomy due to total ulcerative colitis in her twenties. Three years before the onset of enteroatmospheric fistula, she underwent simple total hysterectomy for uterine smooth muscle tumor. Small bowel obstruction occurred early and a small bowel bypass was performed. However, she had sudden abdominal pain and was diagnosed with anastomotic leakage of small bowel bypass. Although antibiotic treatment was initiated, infection was difficult to control, and a midline abdominal incision was performed, followed by the formation of enteroatmospheric fistula. She declined early surgical intervention and started receiving home parenteral nutrition with antibiotic treatment. Although central vein management was continued, catheter infection became frequent. Hence, surgical intervention was planned 30 months after the formation of enteroatmospheric fistula. Two-stage abdominal wall reconstruction using open abdomen management with negative pressure wound therapy was planned. The definitive abdominal wall reconstruction was performed 14 days after the initial operation. Finally, she was discharged without reoperation.DiscussionEnteroatmospheric fistula has no overlying soft tissue and no real fistula tract. Besides these complications, there were complications of the scarred abdominal wall from intestinal fluid exposure for 30 months.ConclusionThe strategy using open abdomen management with negative pressure wound therapy for long-term enteroatmospheric fistula will have a good postoperative outcome with the same as early intervention.

Laparoscopic surgery of epidermoid cyst of the falciform ligament: A case report.

Project description:Introduction and importanceThe falciform ligament is a peritoneal fold that extends from the anterior abdominal wall to the liver, which divides the liver into two lobes. Cysts of the falciform ligament are rare and without an apparent cause. The range of the symptoms can vary from abdominal pain to asymptomatic patients. Cysts are treated surgically, and resection is used to make a definitive diagnosis.Case presentationA 36-year-old female patient was treated at an outpatient facility for epigastric pain that lasted for three months. Abdominal MRI and MSCT were performed to verify a cyst formation in the left liver area of about 12 cm in size. Laparoscopic resection of the cist was performed under general endotracheal anaesthesia.Clinical discussionFalciform ligament tumours can be malignant or benign. Treatment of the cyst includes complete excision and pathohistological diagnosis to rule out malignancy. In most cases reported thus far, excision has been done after laparotomy. In our case, the operation was performed in a less invasive way, laparoscopically.ConclusionLaparoscopy can serve as a diagnostic and therapeutic method for cysts of the falciform ligament, both smaller and more significant, that infiltrate the surrounding structures.

Incidentally discovered huge retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma with successful laparoscopic management: Case report.

Project description:IntroductionRetroperitoneal cystic lesions are uncommon heterogeneous clinical entities with no definite incidence. Their clinical presentations are different and their diagnosis is challenging. The management necessitates complete surgical excision, usually via laparotomy. Recently, laparoscopic approach is being increasingly used.Case presentationA 29-year-old female patient was referred for an incidentally-discovered huge retroperitoneal cyst. Imaging studies revealed a retroperitoneal cyst, measuring 13 * 11?cm. Diagnostic laparoscopy showed a retroperitoneal cyst displacing the small bowel and the right colon to the left side. The peritoneal covering was dissected from the cyst with caution not to cause cyst rupture. The cyst was removed partially using Endobag, then aspiration of its content to facilitate its delivery. The patient had a smooth uneventful postoperative course.DiscussionThe retroperitoneal space is large, expandable space which enables retroperitoneal cystic lesions to grow asymptomatic. CT scan remains the best imaging modality. Aspiration of its content is not routinely done as its sensitivity and specificity has been reported low. Moreover, it carries the risk of leakage of the cyst content into the peritoneal space. Open surgical complete excision is the traditional management and remains of choice. However, laparoscopic management can be tried with caution not to cause content spillage. Intraoperatively, controlled aspiration of the cyst helps in its retrieval.ConclusionPrimary retoperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma is a rare clinical entity that is usually incidentally discovered. Laparoscopic excision is safe and feasible if done by an expert laparoscopic surgeon. Care should always be taken not to cause spillage of its content.
