Review Of The Literature

Gallbladder volvulus is defined as the rotation of the gallbladder on its mesentery along the axis of the cystic duct and cystic artery. It is an unusual and rare occurrence with a predilection for women in their seventh or eight decades of life. Only about 300 cases have been reported in the literature ranging from ages 2 to 100 years old. The etiology of gallbladder volvulus remains speculative; however, the presence of a redundant mesentery is a prerequisite for torsion. Gallbladder volvulus leads to occlusive obstruction of biliary drainage and blood flow. With early diagnosis and surgical intervention, the disease maintains a low mortality of approximately 5 per cent. We present two original cases of acute gallbladder volvulus successfully treated with cholecystectomy, as well as a review of the literature.

In the present work, there is presented an experience of phased surgical treatment of the perforation of the gall bladder in children of different age groups. Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention being crucial in this pathology, allow increase the survival rate of patients. The complexity of the primary diagnosis and the rare occurrence of this pathology in our opinion make this publication to be relevant.

AbstractThe cystic artery supplies oxygenated blood to the gallbladder and cystic duct. It usually arises from the right hepatic artery as a single branch, but cases with double cystic artery has also been reported from time to time. During a routine dissection class, the authors found a case in which two cystic arteries originated from the right hepatic artery to supply the two surfaces of gallbladder separately. As the extrahepatic biliary region is the most usual site of surgical intervention, the reporting of any form of variation in this region becomes a necessity.

Spontaneous Thrombosis

The authors describe the cases of 2 patients who underwent extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery for a giant fusiform aneurysm but in whom further surgery was then not necessary because the aneurysm spontaneously thrombosed. The authors hypothesize that this thrombosis was caused by alterations in aneurysm's hemodynamics, leading to a decreased rate of blood flow in the aneurysm. In the older of the 2 cases, more than 10 years after surgery the patient has not required further surgical intervention. Spontaneous thrombosis of a giant fusiform aneurysm is a rare occurrence during extracranial-intracranial bypass, and although continual monitoring is recommended, these patients can remain stable long term.

Disease Case

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is uncommon but not rare. Bone and joint involvement constitute about 10% of extrapulmonary TB cases, with the spine being the most frequently affected site. Spinal TB patients typically present with back pain but other constitutional or pulmonary symptoms may be absent, rendering the diagnosis difficult. This case explores challenges in the diagnosis of spinal TB. We report a case of a 39-year-old woman presenting with vague back swelling for many years. Imaging revealed osteomyelitis of the spine but initial studies and cultures were negative for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The diagnosis was confirmed weeks later when cultures demonstrated Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Considering the severe complications of untreated spinal TB including paraplegia and need for surgical intervention, high suspicion is critical in early diagnosis.

Common Problems

Background: Cystic duct drains the bile from the gallbladder into the common bile duct. Gallstone disease is one of the most common problems affecting the digestive tract and may lead to many complications. To avoid the complications in these patients the gallbladder is removed surgically (Cholecystectomy). Ligation of cystic duct and cystic artery is a prerequisite procedure when cholecystectomy is done. Understanding about the normal anatomy & the possible variations in biliary ductal system is important for the surgeons for doing cholecystectomy surgery successfully. Errors during gallbladder surgery commonly result from failure to appreciate the common variations in the anatomy of the biliary system. Aim of the study: To find out the incidence of variations in the length, course, and termination of cystic duct in cadavers. Materials and Methods: Present study was done in 50 adult cadavers in the Department of Anatomy, Government Tiruvannamalai medical college, Tamilnadu. Meticulous dissection was done in the hepatobiliary system of these cadavers. Observations: During the study variations in the length of cystic duct, course and different modes of insertion of cystic duct were observed. Conclusion: Knowledge of variations in the length of cystic duct and knowing about different modes of course & insertion of cystic duct is necessary for surgeons while conducting cholecystectomy. The risk of iatrogenic injury is especially high in cases where the biliary anatomy is misidentified prior to surgery. KEY WORDS: Cystic duct, Gallbladder, Cholecystectomy.

Abstract We describe an extremely rare occurrence of a squamous differentiation in a sarcomatoid chromophobe renal cell carcinoma in a 45-year-old woman with nodal and lung metastasis at presentation. The tumor on histology showed all 3 components intimately admixed with each other, which to the best of our knowledge is the first such case to be reported in the literature. The renal pelvis was smooth walled and uninvolved. Kidney-specific cadherin was positive in the chromophobe renal cell carcinoma areas and negative in the sarcomatoid and squamous areas.

Surgical Separation

A patient at her 38+ wks of pregnancy as a ultrasonographically diagnosed case of conjoined twin admitted in our department with ruptured membrane. Two live female babies joined at the chest were delivered by caesarean section. The parents refused a separation operation and the mother and the babies were discharged from hospital at 6th post natal day. A review of the literature suggests that early diagnosis by a combination of ultrasound and MRI is essential for management as it provides prognosis for viability and process of surgical separation and also the opportunity for early counseling of parents and termination if indicated.

Life Threatening

Ovarian torsion is among the gynecological life-threatening conditions that may require urgent surgical intervention among the appearance of clinical manifestations. The most common clinical manifestations include severe abdominal pain, nausea extending to vomiting. The ovarian torsion is not limited to children only. However, it can also occur in adult females, either pregnant or non-pregnant. The etiology of the disease tends to be related to the weakness of the uterine ligaments or malpositioning of it due to known and unknown causes. Despite that, the surgical intervention is needed to release the torsion. Sometimes, it can lead to adverse events or side effects such as decreased blood flow to the surrounding structures. Which by role may lead to unpleasant complications and clinical manifestations of hemorrhage and shock. In this article, we reviewed the topic of ovarian torsion from different aspects, including the definition, causes, clinical evaluation, and clinical management and its common complications.
