Screening Colonoscopy

Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. As such, there are recognized guidelines in the screening of this preventable cancer. There are differences in opinion regarding screening recommendations between the European and United States Cancer Prevention Societies. Screening colonoscopy is an option for routine screening for colorectal cancer in asymptomatic adults. It is a day procedure that is conducted both in hospital and specialized outpatient endoscopy suites. Serious harm is in the region of 3 per 1,000 examinations [Am J Gastroenterol. 2016 Aug; 111(8): 1092–101]. Splenic injury is a rare complication of colonoscopy whose frequency is unclear. Conservative management of splenic injury is desirable in order to preserve immunocompetence. We present a case in which a previously healthy 59-year-old female developed a splenic injury and later pleural effusion after screening colonoscopy.

Surgical Exploration

Traumatic pneumatoceles are a rare complication of blunt chest trauma in children. Although they characteristically present as small, regular shaped lesions which can be safely treated nonoperatively, larger traumatic pneumatoceles pose diagnostic and management difficulties for clinicians. This case study reports one of the largest traumatic pneumatoceles reported to date in the paediatric population, which resulted in aggressive surgical intervention for both diagnostic and treatment reasons. This case adds further evidence to the current literature that significantly large traumatic pneumatoceles with failure of initial conservative management warrant surgical exploration and management to optimise recovery and prevent complications.

Elective Procedure

Tracheal perforation is a rare complication of intubation and is associated with high mortality. Here we describe a case of large, full-thickness tracheal perforation from traumatic intubation after an elective procedure. The injury was managed with prolonged intubation that bypassed the site of injury, and the patient was successfully extubated after 11 days. Conservative management of tracheal perforation after traumatic intubation is an option in select patients that avoids need for surgery.

Abstract Pneumomediastinum is a rare clinical finding, but one which can be the source of significant concern for clinicians. By presenting 3 such cases, we highlight that pneumomediastinum can complicate the course of a severe coronavirus disease 2019 infection but emphasize that conservative management is the first-line method of treatment, with gradual resorption of the air from the tissues. It is important to be alert to the development of pneumothorax, which will require drainage.

Chylous Ascites

Chylous ascites is a rare complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and is often mistaken for peritonitis. It usually resolves following conservative management and does not pose any risk to the dialysis procedure. We report the case of a 2-year-old boy, who developed chylous ascites at 36 hours of PD and spontaneously resolved within the next 48 hours.

Intrauterine Contraceptive

Background. Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) are widely utilized all over the world owing to their low cost and high efficacy. Uterine perforation is a rare complication that may occur at IUD insertion resulting in extrauterine location of the IUD. Traditionally, surgical removal of dislocated IUDs has been recommended.Case. A 68-year-old patient who had an IUD (Lippes loop) inserted 32 years ago and whose routine examination incidentally revealed a dislocated IUD in the abdominal cavity. The patient remained asymptomatic during three years of follow-up and the IUD was left in place.Conclusion. Asymptomatic patients, whose vaginal examinations and ultrasonography or X-ray results reveal a dislocated IUD, may benefit from conservative management.

AbstractIatrogenic aortic dissection (IAD) is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). There are no clear guidelines for IAD management, and limited data are available. Registry data and case series combined with extrapolations from our experience with spontaneous Type-A dissections suggest that very limited dissections are often managed conservatively with coronary stenting of the entry tear when possible, while more extensive dissections are managed surgically. We present a case report of a 50-year-old woman who underwent PCI for an ST-elevation myocardial infarction that resulted in an extensive IAD from the ostium of the right coronary artery to the aortic root, ascending aorta, and aortic arch. While the current evidence strongly supports surgical management of such extensive dissection, our patient was successfully managed conservatively with complete resolution according to short-term computed tomography imaging. This case suggests that conservative management may be a reasonable approach for select patients with extensive IAD.
