Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair

Paraesophageal hernias are the results of defects in the diaphragmatic hiatus. Types II to IVhiatal hernias are also known as paraesophageal hernia. These hernias can be associated with life threatening complications such as gastric volvulus leading to necrosis or perforation of the stomach. Due to these potential complications it was thought that all paraesophageal hernia should be repaired upon diagnosis. Recent evidence, however demonstrated that a non surgical approach is a safe option in many cases. Surgical intervention is usually reserved for patients who are exhibiting symptoms secondary to paraesophageal hernia.We report an interesting case of a 72yrs old female who presented at with Type III paraesophageal hernia with organo axial gastric volulus for which successful Laparoscopic reduction of volvulus with Diaphragmatic hernia repair with Nissen's fundoplication was done

Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair

A 70-year-old asthmatic man presented with a history of chronic intermittent left-sided chest pains and a bulge-like deformity of his chest which became more prominent with expiration. He sustained a traumatic fall 2 years prior whereby he fractured his right humerus at the surgical neck, requiring total arthroplasty. Examination and CT imaging of the thorax revealed a left costal arch fracture with hemidiaphragm rupture and associated transperitoneal fat herniation. He underwent left thoracolaparotomy with costal arch and diaphragmatic hernia repair. He was discharged 48 hours postoperatively and is satisfied with good outcomes under initial follow-up. This case report highlights the surgical management of a condition that usually presents late after significant trauma and may progress to visceral strangulation if untreated.

Dengue infection during pregnancy carries the risk of vertical transmission to the fetus and newborn. This is higher if the infection occurs late in pregnancy and the mother delivers at the height of viremia. In such a scenario, both mother and neonate are at risk of life-threatening complications. We present an interesting case of dengue infection in a preterm neonate managed at our unit.

Odontogenic phlegmon of the mouth floor—Ludwig's angina (phlegmonae fundi cavi oris seu angina Ludovici)—is a rare, life-threatening, local complication in most cases of odontogenic inflammation. This study presents the case of a patient treated in the Department of Maxillofacial and Plastic Surgery of the University Hospital in Białystok due to phlegmon of the mouth floor resulting from odontogenic inflammation with a dynamic course. Quick diagnostics, surgical intervention as well as antibiotic therapy contributed to its efficient and successful treatment.

Introduction: An aortoenteric fistula (AEF) is an abnormal connection between the aorta and the gastrointestinal tract that develops due to a pathologic cause. It is a rare, but life-threatening, cause of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Although no single imaging modality exists that definitively diagnoses AEF, computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the abdomen and pelvis is the preferred initial test due to widespread availability and efficiency. Case Report: Many deaths occur before the diagnosis is made or prior to surgical intervention. We describe a case of a patient with a history of aortic graft repair who presented with active GI bleeding. Conclusion: Although CTA can make the diagnosis of AEF, it cannot adequately rule it out. In patients with significant GI bleeding and prior history of aortic surgery, vascular surgery should be consulted early on, even if CTA is equivocal.

Fetal midgut volvulus is an extremely rare life threatening condition with poor prognosis. It often remains undiagnosed on antenatal ultrasound and manifest as intestinal obstruction in both antenatal and post natal period. Following is the case report of intrauterine midgut volvulus causing proximal obstruction of stomach and duodenum. The infant survived postnatally after caesarean section delivery with prompt and appropriate surgical intervention. Twisting of bowel loops around the mesenteric vessels suggestive of whirpool sign was the most signicant clue leading to the diagnosis of volvulus.
