COVID-19 Infection Post-Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Background: COVID-19 caused the suspension of elective surgeries in several hospitals around the world, in an attempt to help contain the spread of the virus. However, a safe resumption of such surgeries is warranted to reduce further burden on patients. It is important to understand when, how and where to resume elective surgeries, as published data suggested that peri-operative COVID-19 infection incurred an increased risk of morbidity and mortality to surgical patients. Case Report: A 25-year-old patient presented for fever 5 days post Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy. He was diagnosed with COVID-19 using a PCR test. The patient was managed at home with symptomatic therapy. No life-threatening complications were reported during or after his infection. Conclusion: Based on available data, our literature review regarding peri-operative COVID-19 complications, bariatric surgeons have to balance between the risk of undergoing an elective surgery like metabolic bariatric surgeries and the risk of postponing this procedure and thus delaying the resolution of obesity along with its comorbidities.

Abstract Background Neck hematoma is a complication of carotid endarterectomy, usually occurring in the comparatively early stage postoperatively. Case presentation We described a patient developing life-threatening hemorrhage and non-clotting hematoma at a comparatively later stage after CEA. DIC was diagnosed according to the lab results, and the patient underwent re-operation and was supported with blood products until the coagulopathy was corrected. The patient had a history of prostatic hyperplasia and experienced malaise during the hospitalization. Prostate cancer with bone metastases was diagnosed. Conclusions This case report describes a rare underlying cause of hematoma after CEA, which reminds us to pay attention to prostate symptoms or related medical history, especially malignancy, in surgical patients, which may result in severe complications.
