A city-wide study of intussusception in childhood is reported. The classic signs and symptoms (vomiting, abdominal pain, bloody stools, palpable abdominal mass) are reported in percentages approximating those previously reported by other authors. Intussusception in childhood occurred about once in every 13,000 admissions to general hospitals. Of 26 cases, 3 had surgery without barium enema. In 11 of 23 patients who had roentgenographic examination the intussusception was reduced by enemas (48%). In one patient the lesion recurred after 24 hours. No deaths were encountered in this small series. Provided certain precautions are followed, barium enema is a safe procedure which will save about one-half of the patients a surgical procedure and unnecessary prolonged hospitalization.

Choledocal cysts are cystic dilations that can occur in a single or multiple form in the biliary tree. Cysts can be congenital or acquired and are associated with numerous anatomical abnormalities. The presence of pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, jaundice and palpable abdominal mass form the classic triad that is present in 15% to 45% of patients. We report the case of a 19-year-old woman patient, who she was admitted with abdominal pain in the right hypochondrium, nausea and vomiting, which evolved into  jaundice. When seeking medical care, a large liver cyst and cholelithiasis. Imaging exams revealed liver cyst in segments IV-B,V and VI, lithiasis and biliary polyp.

Duplication cysts (DCs) of alimentary tract are rare congenital malformations. They are firmly attached to the wall of the gastrointestinal tract and they are supplied by surrounding mesenteric blood vessels. More than 80% of cases occur before the age of two years and only a minority of cases present in adulthood. “Completely isolated duplication” of the alimentary tract is an extremely rare variety of gastrointestinal duplications. They have gastrointestinal epithelial and wall characteristics without an anatomic association with the alimentary tract. Their main characteristic is that they have their own blood supply. A 20-year-old male was admitted to our department with symptoms persisting for a period of one week prior to admission, which included abdominal pain, fever, and a palpable abdominal mass. CT revealed an unexplained intraperitoneal abscess. This case represents a rare clinical example of infected isolated duplication cyst managed with percutaneous drainage and surgical excision of the cyst 3 weeks later. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case to use this approach.

Lynch syndrome is known by an early incidence colorectal cancer and comparatively common synchronous and metachronous neoplastic polyps or cancer or both. The aim of the current study to explore the beneficial of prophylactic colectomy in high risk patients with colorectal cancer. The medical records of 42 colorectal patients whom underwent surgery between 2006 and 2017 of the above hospitals diagnosed as colorectal cancer diseases were retrospectively reviewed. A Structured interview questionnaire was used. The questionnaire was including information on Socio- demographic data such as; age, gender, address, occupation and marital status. In addition, data on the presentation of the disease was obtained and data on complications and post-operative outcomes were also recorded. 42 patients were studied and the mean age ±SD of their age were 49.5± (10.2), 52.4% were male and 47.6% were female.76.1 % of the patients present with a bleeding per-rectum,71.4, 66.6, 61.9 present with abdominal pain, change in bowel habit and abdominal pain respectively. Abdominal mass and rectal mass were 11.9 and 9.5, the most common site of cancer was sigmoid, rectum and caecum 26.19, 14.3 and 11.9 respectively. The post-operative outcome was very less among patients, wound infection, seroma, incisional hernia and chest infection (7%, 7%, 4% and 4% respectively. We concluded from the current study that colorectal cancer with the technique of prophylactic total colectomy with or without subtotal proctectomy that increase the survival, decrease the morbidity and make the endoscopic follow –up easier and more comfortable to the patients for short and long follow-up interval.

Red Currant

Intussusception is one of the most common abdominal emergencies in children. The classic triad of symptoms involves colicky abdominal pain, an abdominal mass, and red currant jelly stools, but this is seen in only about 15% of cases of children with intussusception. Early diagnosis and management reduce morbidity, risk for complications, and surgical intervention. Abdominal ultrasound is generally accepted as the gold standard for diagnosis. Treatment typically involves an air or hydrostatic enema; however, variability and controversies still exist in treatment and post-care management for nonsurgical cases. Variability also still exists in post-reduction care of children with intussusception. Feeding and monitoring times after nonoperative management differ between institutions. Some patients are advanced to feeds as tolerated while some others are placed in fasting to rest the bowel and prevent recurrence.

Irritable Bowel

Symptoms suggestive of disturbed lower gastrointestinal function without adequate explanation are very common in adults in the Western world, up to 15% of whom experience such symptoms at any one time, although most do not seek medical advice. The currently used terms are best viewed as an attempt to provide some clinically useful, rather than pathophysiologically accurate, categorization of patients and their symptoms based on disordered gut–brain interactions. Irritable bowel syndrome is defined according to the Rome III criteria as recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort associated with a change in bowel habit for at least 6 months, with symptoms experienced on at least 3 days of at least 3 months. Many subtypes are recognized. Routine haematological and biochemical screening is usually performed on the assumption that it will be normal. Features that raise the suspicion of organic disease and indicate a need for further investigation include the onset of symptoms in middle-aged or older individuals, weight loss, or blood in the stool. Management remains empirical: no single pharmacological agent or group of agents has ever been found to be consistently effective. The principal task of the physician is to provide explanation and reassurance (sometimes supplemented by psychological treatments), but particular symptoms are often treated as follows: (1) constipation—defecation may be eased by supplementary dietary fibre and poorly absorbed fermentable carbohydrates which increase faecal bulk and soften the stool; osmotic laxatives and enemas are used for the severely constipated patient, as well as more novel agents; (2) diarrhoea—attention to diet is often helpful, as are simple antidiarrhoeal agents; and (3) abdominal pain—antispasmodics (e.g. hyoscine butyl bromide) are frequently used, as are antidepressants.
