High prevalence of asymptomatic internal hernias after laparoscopic anterior resection in a retrospective analysis of postoperative computed tomography

Early postoperative anastomotic obstruction after colorectal surgery rarely develops. Herein, we present a case of a 50-year-old healthy woman who had an early postoperative anastomotic obstruction which was revealed caused by a blood clot and successfully managed by endoscopic approach. The patient was discharged after laparoscopic anterior resection and visited the emergency department one day after because of abdominal pain. Computed tomography showed that the anastomosis site was obstructed with low-density material. Intraoperative endoscopy was performed under general anesthesia and blood clot filling the lumen were identified. As the scope was advanced to the blood clot with air inflation, the blood clot was evacuated. The anastomosis site could be obstructed by blot clot with mucous debris albeit it is a rare condition. An endoscopic approach seems to be the first option in the diagnosis and treatment of postoperative obstruction at the anastomosis site and it could prevent unnecessary laparotomy.

Patient Referrals

To conduct a retrospective analysis of patient referrals for computed tomography to identify the main problems, both in writing the direction itself and in its validity. Materials and methods: The patient referrals for computed tomography (CT) were analyzed at the Radiology Department of the National Scientific Center named after AN Syzganov - outpatients for 3 months. Results and discussions: it has been established that, in the main, clinicians, when issuing a referral for a study, ignore such item as a diagnosis, or replace it with the word — examination. There is also the groundlessness and incorrectness of the referrals for the studies, considering their variability and insufficient awareness of doctors both in the indications and the need for a particular study. Conclusion: Clinicians are not sufficiently aware of the correctness of referrals for computed tomography and, as a result, write out incorrect referrals.

Abstract: The prevalence of progressive forms of pneumoconiosis in the Russian Federation has been little studied. At the same time, the number of workers exposed to silicon dioxide, both in our country and abroad, is not decreasing. The purpose of our research to determine the criteria for the progression of pneumoconiosis in miners. A retrospective analysis of the results of a comprehensive medical examination of 150 miners of the Rostov region, observed in the center of occupational pathology, was carried out. All patients underwent radiography, computed tomography of the chest organs, and spirometry. X-ray description of the changes was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the ILO. As a result, 24.5% had statistically significant signs of negative dynamics of functional and radiological indicators, which we referred to the criteria of progression. Thus, the progression of pneumoconiosis is determined by the negative dynamics of clinical and radiological parameters.
