Laparoscopic Removal

The extrauterine migration of an intrauterine device (IUD) can be life-threatening and may require emergent surgical intervention and treatment. A case report where an ectopic IUD located on sigmoid colon within peritoneal cavity in a 40-year-old multigravida was successfully removed by laparoscopy is described. Although the practicality and success of this method depends on the position and location of the ectopic IUD and on the extent to which the device is imbedded, this case suggests that removal of the migrated IUD from the peritoneal cavity is an additional possibility for use of the laparoscope.

Urachal Fistula

Background: Urachal anomalies rarely present in adulthood. We report thesecond known case of urachal-sigmoid fistula associated with diverticulardisease.Method: We performed a case report and literature review. We searchedMEDLINE and PubMed using the search words “urachus,” “urachal fistula,”“sigmoid colon” and “diverticulosis.”Results: Our literature review revealed 1 previous report of urachal-sigmoidfistula associated with diverticular disease. We reviewed other publications withrespect to pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of urachal disease.Conclusion: Urachal disease that presents in an adult is usually the result of somecomplication of a urachal anomaly. Various modes of imaging may help confirmthe diagnosis, although CT sinography has been recommended and waskey in the present case. Management includes eradication of infection and, usually,surgical intervention.

Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening aggressive soft tissue infection which usually affects the extremities, abdominal wall, or perineum. Breasts are rarely affected, with most cases presenting after trauma or surgical intervention. It may be misdiagnosed as abscess or cellulitis, leading to treatment delays. Here, we report a case of necrotizing fasciitis affecting both breasts in a 60-year-old female. Treatment included core biopsy managed with intravenous antibiotic and surgical debridement followed by a simple mastectomy. Currently, the patient is disease-free with a completely healed wound.

Laparoscopic Removal

We report a case of a translocated intrauterine device (IUD) embedded within the colon wall. Endoscopic tattooing and laparoscopy was used to identify the colonic site and facilitate extraction by colonic resection. A review of the literature and discussion of laparoscopic management of this complication is presented.

Possible Cause

Introduction. Many factors have been indentified as a possible cause of rectal prolaps. Despite the fact that it is not a lifethreating condition, its clinical presentation varies, and sometimes it can present as an emergency. We presented a patient with prolapse of an unusually large segment of the rectosigmoid colon caused by chronic constipation, as an incarcerated segment repaired surgically. Case report. A 62-year-old female patient was referred to the Emergency Department in bad condition with severe pain in the perianal region. On examination a complete rectal prolaps as well as a part of sigmoid colon were found. Macroscopically, the prolapsed segment appeared edematous, livid, with ulcerations. An attempt to manually reduce prolapse failed, therefore resection of 50 cm of sigmoid colon with rectopexy had to be performed. No complications occurred and the patient was without symptoms six months later. Colonoscopy did not reveal any abnormality. Conclusion. Although the preoperative management and preparation of the patient was limited, emergancy surgical intervention for such a case was the strategy of choice due to magnitude of the prolapsing segment. It provided a successful and permenant solution.

Haemopericardium with cardiac tamponade following minor blunt trauma is a rare, life-threatening condition. The diagnosis of cardiac tamponade as well as therapeutic management may be delayed, since the link between trauma and illness is often overlooked. We report the case of an old woman who developed a relatively delayed cardiac tamponade due to an otherwise minor blunt chest trauma following syncope.
