Emergency Abdominal Surgery

Oftentimes general surgeons working in poorly resourced communities carry out emergency abdominal surgery in patients with acute abdomen with no definitive preoperative diagnosis. The definitive diagnosis is made at laparotomy. Perforated small bowel obstruction secondary to heavy Infestation with Ascaris Lumbricoides brings a number of intraoperative challenges requiring correct intraoperative surgical management decisions. We present a case of a 17 year-old patient who was admitted with a diagnosis of small bowel obstruction who at laparotomy was found to have perforated gangrenous small bowel volvulus with heavy worm load visible through the bowel wall. Because of faecal peritoneal contamination and haemodynamic instability she underwent a two staged procedure with good outcome.

Obstructive Shock

A woman presented to our hospital with acute abdominal pain 7 months following an oesophagectomy. A chest X-ray revealed a new elevation of the left diaphragm. CT demonstrated a large left diaphragmatic hernia incarcerated with non-enhancing transverse colon and loops of small bowel. She deteriorated rapidly into obstructive shock and was urgently brought to the operating room for a laparotomy. The diaphragmatic orifice was identified in a left parahiatal position, consistent with a parahiatal hernia. Incarcerated necrotic transverse colon and ischaemic loops of small bowel were resected, and the diaphragmatic defect was closed primarily. Because of haemodynamic instability, the abdomen was temporarily closed, and a second look was performed 24 hours later, allowing anastomosis and definitive closure. Parahiatal hernias are rare complications following surgical procedures and can lead to devastating life-threatening complications, such as an obstructive shock. Expeditious diagnosis and management are required in the acute setting.

Intestinal obstruction is one of the commonest abdominal emergencies requiring surgical intervention. Among its numerous causes, volvulus of the small and large bowel plays a less common aetiological role. This is a rare case of a large intra-abdominal dermoid cyst causing small bowel volvulus and presenting as obstruction. 46-year-old male presented with four-day history suggestive of acute small bowel obstruction, with gross abdominal distension on examination. With minimal investigations, he was explored to reveal a large 10×8 cm sized cystic mass in lower abdomen, with two vascular pedicles causing twisting of small bowel and resultant obstruction. Surgical intervention included unwinding of viable bowel, dividing pedicles and excision of the mass. The cyst was found to contain pultaceous material with hair and solid components. Patient tolerated the procedure well and was asymptomatic on discharge and subsequent follow-ups. This case illustrates an uncommon cause of a common presentation; an uncommon location of a relatively common cystic swelling; and the diagnostic surprise that was encountered during the management, thereby reiterating the need for keen observation and clinical acumen while dealing with such cases.
