Introduction: Although gastroenteritis is considered to be a non-surgical disease, rare complications necessitating surgical intervention may occur. Case report: We present a patient who underwent acute small bowel resection due to an abdominal abscess, which developed in association with Salmonella enteritis.

Ligoniai ir metodai Atlikome 14 ligonių, 1992–2011 m. sirgusių mechaniniu žarnų nepraeinamumu dėl tulžies akmenų, retrospektyviąją analizę. Rezultatai Išanalizuoti 14 ligonių duomenys. Visi ligoniai buvo vyresni nei 70 metų (nuo 71 iki 88 metų), amžiaus vidurkis 76,9 metų. Vyrų ir moterų santykis buvo atitinkamai 3:11. Visi ligoniai buvo hospitalizuoti dėl ūminio žarnų nepraeinamumo ir skubiai operuoti. Operacijos metu dažniausiai nustatyta obstrukcijos vieta buvo klubinėje žarnoje ir tuščiojoje žarnoje, rečiau – dvylikapirštėje žarnoje. Septyniems ligoniams operacijos apimtis apsiribojo enterolitotomija, trims buvo atlikta enterolitotomija ir cholecistektomija, vienam ligoniui atlikta plonosios žarnos rezekcija, dviem ligoniams pavyko konkrementą mechaniškai nustumti į storąją žarną. Vienu atveju dėl Bouveret sindromo atlikta cholecistektomija ir Finney piloroplastika. Pooperaciniu laikotarpiu du ligoniai mirė, trims pasireiškė komplikacijų. Išvados Tulžies akmenų sukeltas žarnų nepraeinamumas yra reta, dideliu mirtingumu pasižymėti patologija, dažniausiai pasitaikanti senyvo amžiaus ligoniams. Enterolitotomija yra saugesnis, mažesnį mirtingumą lemiantis gydymo metodas nei enterolitotomija su cholecistektomija. Reikšminiai žodžiai: žarnų nepraeinamumas, enterolitotomija, Bouveret sindromas. Gallstone ileus: retrospective review of 14 cases and case report Žygimantas Juodeikis, Juozas Stanaitis, Algimantas Stašinskas 1 Vilnius University, Institute of Oncology, Santariškių Str. 1, LT-08660 Vilnius, Lithuania2 Vilnius University, Faculty of Medicine, Clinic of Internal Diseases, Family Medicine and Oncology, Santariškių Str. 2, LT-08661 Vilnius, Lithuania E-mail: [email protected] Objective The objective of this study was to present the resuts of our treatment of gallstone ileus and to compare them with the results reported by other authors. Patients and methods A retrospective study with the revision of clinical stories of patients diagnosed with gallstone ileus between 1991 and 2011 was performed. Results Analysis of data on 14 patients was performed. All of the patients were older than 70 years (median, 76.9). The men-to-women ratio was 3 : 11. All patients were admitted with small bowel obstruction symtoms and operated on rapidly. The most common obstruction location was the ileum and the jejunum, and a less frequent location was the duodenum. Enterolithotomy was performed in 7 cases cholecystectomy and enterolithotomy in 3 cases. There was a single case when small bowel resection was necessary. Concrements were succesfully mechanically pushed into the colon in 2 cases. In one case, the Finney pyloroplasty and cholecystectomy were performed. Postoperatively, 2 patients died. Postoperative complications were observed in 3 cases. Conclusions Gallstone ileus is a rare and highly lethal pathology which mostly occurs in the elderly. Enterolithotomy with cholecystectomy is related to a higher mortality rate than enterolithotomy alone. Key words: gallstone ileus, enterolithotomy, Bouveret syndrome

Abstract The shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes), known as Xiang-gu in China, has been an important component of Asian cuisine for hundreds of years. Although not easily digestible, there are few reports of them causing bowel obstruction. We present two cases of small bowel obstruction due to a shiitake mushroom requiring surgical intervention. Two patients who did not have any teeth and did not use dentures presented with intestinal bowel obstruction and were referred to the Emergency Department of our hospital after eating a meal including shiitake mushrooms without cutting. The first patient underwent an emergency laparotomy and a semental small bowel resection and the other underwent laparoscopic small bowel incision for removal of a foreign body. The causes of the small bowel obstruction for the two patients were uncut shiitake mushrooms in the small bowel. The two patients recovered uneventfully post-operatively.

AbstractIn patients with short bowel syndrome, an elevated pre-resection Body Mass Index may be protective of post-resection body composition. We hypothesized that rats with diet-induced obesity would lose less lean body mass after undergoing massive small bowel resection compared to non-obese rats. Rats (CD IGS; age = 2 mo; N = 80) were randomly assigned to either a high-fat (obese rats) or a low-fat diet (non-obese rats), and fed ad lib for six months. Each diet group then was randomized to either underwent a 75% distal small bowel resection (massive resection) or small bowel transection with re-anastomosis (sham resection). All rats then were fed ad lib with an intermediate-fat diet (25% of total calories) for two months. Body weight and quantitative magnetic resonance-determined body composition were monitored. Preoperative body weight was 884 ± 95 versus 741 ± 75 g, and preoperative percent body fat was 35.8 ± 3.9 versus 24.9 ± 4.6%; high-fat vs. low fat diet, respectively (p < 0.0001); preoperative diet type had no effect on lean mass. Regarding total body weight, massive resection produced an 18% versus 5% decrease in high-fat versus low-fat rats respectively, while sham resection produced a 2% decrease vs. a 7% increase, respectively (p < 0.0001, preoperative vs. necropsy data). Sham resection had no effect on lean mass; after massive resection, both high-fat and low-fat rats lost lean mass, but these changes were not different between the latter two rat groups. The high-fat diet and low-fat diet induced obesity and marginal obesity, respectively. The massive resection produced greater weight loss in high-fat rats compared to low-fat rats. The type of dietary preconditioning had no effect on lean mass loss after massive resection. A protective effect of pre-existing obesity on lean mass after massive intestinal resection was not demonstrated.
