To clarify the scheme of the lymph outflow, the abdominal organs, according to A.A. Troitskaya (Moscow M. Zh., 1925, No. 9), should be divided into 2 sections: the upper section includes the liver, stomach, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and adrenal glands , to the bottom - the intestines and pelvic organs.

The presence of a significant quantity of gas in the gastrointestinal tract may hinder a proper ultrasonographic examination of the abdominal organs. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of simethicone and fasting on the quality of ultrasonographic examinations of the gastrointestinal tract and the small organs in the abdominal cavity. Fourteen clinically healthy dogs were examined repeatedly after four different preparation protocols. The visualisation of the organs was assessed subjectively with a 3-point scoring system. The administration of simethicone is superior in the visualisation of the ileum, the ileocolic junction, the pancreas (body and right lobe), the jejunal lymph nodes, and both adrenal glands when compared to no preparation. The combination of the oral administration of simethicone and fasting is superior in the visualisation of the pylorus, the duodenum, the jejunum, the ileum, the ileocolic junction, the pancreas (body, right and left lobe), the jejunal lymph nodes, and both adrenal glands when compared to no preparation. The conclusion and clinical relevance from this exploratory study suggest that the oral administration of simethicone and fasting before an ultrasonographic examination significantly improve the visualisation of some abdominal organs.

Schwannomas in the presacral region of vertebral column occur sporadically and are usually diagnosed incidentally during diagnostic procedures applied as a response to nonspecific complaints associated with vertebral column or abdominal cavity. This study focuses not only on the presentation of the case of the patient with giant schwannoma in the retrorectal area, but on the highlighting of the problems associated with diagnosis and treatment of tumours located in this anatomic region as well. The presented case involves a 23-year old woman. The diagnosis of the disease was made during gynecological examination accompanied by ultrasonography of pelvic organs. Neurological examination disclosed no deviations from the normal condition. MR imaging allowed to determine precise location of the tumour and its anatomic relations to pelvic visceral and vascular structures. The patient underwent a successful surgery using laparotomy. Histological examination revealed structures of schwannoma. Surgical radicality and the lack of relapse were confirmed by MR imaging taken five years after the surgery.

Body stalk anomalies are a group of massively disfiguring abdominal wall defects in which the abdominal organs lie outside of the abdominal cavity in a sac of amnioperitoneum with absence of or very small umbilical cord. Various hypotheses proposed to explain the pathogenesis of limb body wall complex include early amnion disruptions, embryonic dysplasia, and vascular disruption in early pregnancy. Body stalk anomaly is an accepted fatal anomaly and, hence, its early diagnosis aids in proper management of the patient. We present a case of LBWC, exhibiting combined cranial, abdominal & limb features.Chatt Maa Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.16 (2); July 2017; Page 56-58

Mesenchymal Neoplasm

SummaryDesmoid-type fibromatosis is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm with locally aggressive, infiltrating and destructive growth that is not characterized by a metastatic potential. According to their anatomical position, desmoid-type fibromatoses can be divided into three groups: extra-abdominal, intra-abdominal, and fibromatoses of the abdominal wall. Mesenteric fibromatoses account for 8% of the intra-abdominal ones. The latter are characterized by myofibroblastic proliferation and infiltration of both the pelvic and abdominal organs. We report a 26-year-old woman who complained of abdominal enlargement, feeling of heaviness, discomfort and reflux, which symptoms dated back 1-2 months prior to hospitalization. The patient underwent laparotomy due to subocclusive symptoms. Intraoperatively, a tumor sized 30 cm in diameter was found. The tumor originated from the mesentery and infiltrated in the jejunum, the entire ileum, and part of the caecum with perforation towards the abdominal cavity. The histological and immunohistochemical examinations are important for clarification of the diagnosis. The treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach, in which the surgical method has the key role.

Tribromoethanol is widely used as an anaesthetic agent for embryo-transfer surgery for the generation of transgenic mice. Potential side effects such as local irritation, fibrous adhesions in the abdominal cavity, and mortalities of unknown cause have been reported. Mice of three different strains (CD-1, OF-1, NMRI) received intraperitoneal injections of pentobarbiturate (60 mg/kg, 0.4%), tribromoethanol (240 mg/kg, 1.2%), tribromoethanol (450 mg/kg, 2.5%), ketamine/xylazine (120 mg/kg, 1.2%/16 mg/kg, 0.16%) or saline (NaCl, 0.9%). After 24 h the animals were sacrificed and blinded histopathological examination of abdominal organs was performed by light microscopy. Tribromoethanol caused focal to diffuse necrosis primarily of subperitoneal muscle fibres of the abdominal wall, and, occasionally, necrotic changes on the surface of abdominal organs. These changes were associated with acute peritoneal inflammation and fibrinous serositis of the abdominal organs. The severity of the findings increased with the concentration of tribromoethanol. The use of ketamine/xylazine yielded a comparable success rate in embryo transfer without undesirable side effects. Further use of tribromoethanol is not recommended.

During the period of three years, 1,414 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery. 18 patients underwent diagnostic laparoscopy under local anaesthesia. All these patients in addition to the suspected pathology of the abdominal cavity were diagnosed with severe concomitant cardiopulmonary pathology including acute myocardial infarction, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, coma of various genesis, pneumonia. The proposed technique included a local anaesthesia around the navel, laparolifting, the insertion of a laparoscope and a short inspection (3-5 min) of the abdominal organs. Sometimes, especially in patients with hypertension, spinal or epidural anesthesia was used. While diagnosticating the pathology, if necessary, the anaesthesia was given, carboperitonium was applied and the necessary surgery was performed.

History Of

Background. Gallbladder polyps have recently become more common in practice of general practitioners and gastroenterologists due to the improvement of instrumental imaging of the abdominal cavity. Aim of study: to analyze the dynamics of development of gallbladder polyps at an outpatient appointment of a general practitioner (gastroenterologist). Materials and methods. A prospective clinical five-year study of patients with gallbladder polyps was conducted. All patients underwent ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs (Voluson E10) once every six months during five years. Number and nature of the growth of polyps, size of the gallbladder, presence/absence of complaints, and burdened history of neoplastic diseases were evaluated in the dynamics of observation. Data obtained were subjected to standard statistical processing. Results. The study included 33 patients (14 men, 19 women aged 24–65 years, average age 45.19±1.73 yrs). In the initial ultrasound study, the number of visualized polyps varied from 1 to 5 (on average, 2.09±0.95), the size of the neoplasms ranged from 2 mm to 10 mm (on average, 5.75±1.10 mm). Burdened heredity in oncopathology was noted in 42.86% of men and 31.58% of women. Legless polyps were more often diagnosed in men (14.29%), while in women, polyps increased in size in the dynamics of observation >10 mm and a higher frequency of surgical interventions (cholecystectomy) were more often recorded. Conclusion. Gallbladder polyps tend to grow slowly. We outlined the questions facing the clinician in the management of patients with gallbladder polyps in terms of choosing the optimal tactic and surgical treatment due to the possible malignancy of these formations.

Laparoscopic diagnostics provides fast, reliable, clear, and obvious information on extent and depth of abdominal organs injury with minimizing additional trauma to the patient. It is performed without any specific preparations and, if needed, it may be promptly converted into conventional laparotomy. Through use of optical equipment with various refraction angles and through variable patient positioning, laparoscopic technique enables visualization of whole abdominal cavity. In approximately 20% of cases of unclear findings, and after other performed diagnostic procedures, laparoscopy provides definitive diagnosis. Abdominal surgeons are familiar with this method, making interpretation of the results very fast and reliable and, what is the most important, this method avoids additional trauma caused by conventional laparotomy.

Gastric stump cancer is a carcinoma which forms no earlier than 5years after surgery for benign disease. The incidence ranges from 2.4 to 5% among patients with stomach cancer. Previous operations lead to the emergence of an adhesive process in the abdominal cavity, changes in the anatomy and topography of the abdominal organs, as well as the development of new ways of lymph outflow. These factors lead to the re-surgery becomes technically more complicated and requires high professional training from the surgeon. Of particular surgical interest is the issue of restoration of the digestive tract, which directly depends on the nature and volume of the previous surgery. In this paper, the authors describe cases of surgical treatment of gastric stump cancer in two patients, who had previously undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy.
