New technologies of the little invasive treatment of small pelvis abscesses

Comparative results of abscessed keen purulent processes treatment of the small pelvis in women by means of longtime proteolysis with immobilizing ferment imozimaza and sanative processingthe abscess cavity with antiseptic chlorhexidine bigluconate. The advantages of imozimaza use are marked. These kinds of treatment were performed by laparoscopic way; its efficiency was assessed according to trans-draining abscessoscopy.

Factors Associated with Surgical Treatment Outcome of Psoas Muscle Abscess

Background: Psoas abscess is a rare condition but one with potential for severe morbidity. Many factors may be implicated in the treatment outcome of the condition and efforts must be directed to identify, understand and control the factors for a better prognosis. Objective: To identify the factors associated with surgical treatment outcome of psoas muscle abscess. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted upon a sample of 58 patients (chosen via non-probability, consecutive sampling) scheduled for surgical treatment for psoas muscle abscess (aged 18 to 60 years) at department of General Surgery at Liaquat University Hospital, Hyderabad & Jamshoro. All the patients underwent surgical treatment. The data was recorded via pre-structured questionnaire comprising of inquiries pertaining to socio-demographic details, presenting complaints, and factors association with surgical treatment outcome (in terms of resolution of abscess cavity). Data was analyzed via SPSS version 20. Results: Mean age of study subjects was 37.6 ± 12.5 years. Out of all 72.4% were males and 27.5% were females. Most common presentation of patients was pain in flanks, followed by fever. The commonest etiological factor was tuberculosis (TB) and consequently spinal (TB) was the most common. Resolution of abscess cavity was noted among 77.5% of the cases with a greater proportion of recovery falling in line non- tuberculous etiology. Conclusions: After careful consideration, it can be concluded that secondary psoas muscle and that with tuberculous etiology have a poorer surgical outcome, thus greater care and more effective surgical techniques may be employed to achieve complete resolution of abscess.

EP.TH.1029Surgery for retained gallstones: A single centre experience

Aims Lost spilled gallstones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a rare inadvertent complication results in recurrent delayed sepsis. Diagnosis is made via retrospective review of operative notes. 2 cases of retained gallstones were removed surgically, following several years after the initial laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Conclusion 2 cases presented with delayed symptoms of abdominal pain, sepsis with intra-abdominal collections. Intra-abdominal abscesses treated with percutaneous USS guided drainage & antibiotics. Abscesses arise in right subphrenic space, right anterior abdominal wall & iliacus as a result of gallstone migration. Diagnosis of “spilled lost gallstones” was delayed until confirmation of retained gallstones on radiological imaging. Combination of USS, CT and MRI scan enabled to detect retained gallstones (radiolucent or radio-opaque) within an abscess cavity. Multi-disciplinary approach allowed a more concerted management i.e. diagnosis of retained gallstones & planning surgical exploration for retained gallstones. Ultimately, abscesses should be drained (percutaneously or surgically), and retained stones should be removed. Ideally this is done via minimally invasive techniques, but open surgery is often required. Use of laparoscopy enables exploration of the peritoneal cavity and any abscess cavity. This exploration will extract any fragment of gallstone that could be a nidus for continuous infection.

634 Case Report: Large Perforating Ileal Conduit Stone as A Rare Cause of Abdominal Wall Abscess

Introduction Ileal conduits are common following cystectomy for benign or malignant disease of the bladder. They are associated with late complications such as parastomal hernias, strictures, infections and rarely conduit stone formation. We present a previously unreported case of a significant abdominal wall abscess secondary to a very large perforating conduit stone. Case Report A 59-year-old female with an established ileal conduit due to multiple sclerosis presented acutely with abdominal pain, peristomal mass and fever. A CT showed a large (40mm) calcification with a fluid collection adjacent to the conduit in the subcutaneous tissues. Emergency incision and drainage of the abscess revealed a large abscess cavity containing a stone. Conduitoscopy demonstrated a narrow stoma and a perforation between the abscess cavity and the lumen of the conduit suggesting extrusion of the stone through an eroded area in the wall of the conduit. A Foley catheter was inserted to bypass the perforation. The patient recovered well after the procedure with the addition of antibiotics. Subsequent conduitoscopy showed closure of the perforation with these measures. Conclusions Conduit stones are rare but have the potential to perforate the urinary conduit. We believe that the subcutaneous location of the perforation allowed it to go unnoticed and the stone to achieve a significant size before acting as a nidus for infection. A more proximal perforation would likely result in an intraperitoneal urine leak and earlier presentation with an acute abdomen.

1412 De Garengeot's Hernia Complicated by Perforated Appendicitis and Groin Abscess: Report of A Rare Surgical Emergency

Introduction De Garengeot's hernia is a rare subtype of femoral hernia which contains the vermiform appendix. Acute appendicitis in a femoral hernia is even more unusual, accounting for 0.08% - 0.13% of all cases of femoral hernias. Case presentation A 91-year-old woman was referred with a painful, cellulitic right groin mass. A computed tomography scan demonstrated a right-sided femoral hernia containing a loop of bowel and a collection in the right groin containing fluid and gas. The patient had early dementia but no other major medical co-morbidities. At surgery, she was found to have perforated appendicitis in a right femoral hernia. Most of the appendix and sac had fully disintegrated, forming a large abscess cavity beneath the skin in the right groin which extended down to the upper labia majora. The appendix tip was lying deep within the abscess cavity. A modified McEvedy approach was used to access the peritoneal cavity for the appendicectomy and sutured repair of the femoral neck. The groin abscess cavity was drained and managed with a negative pressure (VAC) dressing. Discussion De Garengeot's hernia is often difficult to diagnose pre-operatively and reporting of cross-sectional imaging may not always be reliable. Currently, there is no gold standard method for repairing these hernias. However, the modified McEvedy approach is well-described and is the preferred technique for emergent femoral hernia presentations. It provides sufficient access to manage both appendicitis and the femoral hernia. Adjuncts such as negative pressures dressings may be used to manage concomitant abscess cavities.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF OUTCOMES OF PERCUTANEOUS NEEDLE ASPIRATION VERSUS PIGTAIL CATHETER DRAINAGE FOR SOLITARY LIVER ABSCESS.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of ultrasound guided percutaneous needle aspiration and percutaneous pigtail catheter drainage in the treatment of solitary liver abscess with respect to successful drainage, clinical improvement, reduction in size of abscess cavity, duration of hospital stay and procedure related complications. Methods: Prospective randomized study on 108 patients treated over a period of 30 months. Using standard randomization they were divided equally into two groups A and B. Group A patients underwent usg guided percutaneous needle aspiration for a maximum of three attempts, and Group B patients were treated by pigtail catheter drainage. All the patients received a uniform protocol based supportive care and antimicrobial treatment. Outcomes were compared with respect to successful drainage, resolution of symptom, fty percent reduction in size of abscess cavity, hospital stay duration and procedure related complications. Results: A successful drainage was noted in 52(96%) patients in group B treated with PCD and 46 (84%) patients in group A treated with PNA. 8(11%) patients in group A did not respond to three attempts due to very thick pus and they were offered pigtail catheter drainage. The duration required for initial clinical improvement and fty percent reduction of size of abscess cavity was signicantly lesser in group B. Though the duration of hospital stay was lesser in group B the difference was not statistically signicant. Complication was noted only in group B where one patient developed perihepatic and subdiaphragmatic collection and the other had peritonitis. Both were cured after surgical intervention. Conclusion: Both percutaneous needle aspiration and pigtail catheter drainage are almost equally effective in the treatment of solitary liver abscess. Though pigtail catheter drainage helped in earlier clinical improvement and reduction in cavity size but the difference in duration required for full recovery and complete resolution of abscess cavity was not statistically signicant. Hence the selection of the procedure needs to be individualized and should take into account various factors like patient's general condition, laboratory parameters, and nature of abscess cavity.

Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Drainage of Abdominal Abscess in a Patient With Crohn's Disease: A Case Report

Introduction: The autoimmune process in Crohn's disease exacerbates destructive changes in the intestinal wall and leads to complications such as bleeding (21. 9%), strictures (21.6%), and abscesses (19.7%).Case Presentation: The case of a 32-year-old male patient with an 8-year history of Crohn's disease is presented. He was admitted for emergency indications with severe pain in the right lower quadrant, chills, and a fever reaching 39.0°C. The patient had anemia, hypocoagulation and immunodeficiency. Ultrasound and CT scans of the abdominal organs revealed an abscess in the right iliac region. It was immediately drained under ultrasound control and X-ray. A fistulogram showed the fistula between the abscess and the ileum. Routine antibiotic therapy selected in accordance with the sensitivity of the microflora and sanitization of the abscess cavity were not effective. The immunomodulatory therapy, intravenous administration of cryoprecipitate, and the introduction of fibrin glue into the abscess cavity were added to the treatment. After the treatment, the patient's immune status corresponded to normal, the abscess healed, and the fistula was closed.Conclusion: In patients suffering from Crohn's disease with the formation of an abscess and a long-term non-healing intestinal fistula, it is essential that the diagnostic algorithm includes the examination of the immune status. Treatment should include immunomodulators, intravenous administration of cryoprecipitate. To close the fistula in these patients, it is advisable to use fibrin glue that has a local immunomodulatory effect.

Outcome of Percutaneous Ultrasound Guided Aspiration versus Open Surgical Drainage of Psoas Muscle Abscess

Objective: To compare the outcome of percutaneous ultrasound guided aspiration V/S open surgical drainage for psoas muscle abscess. Methodology: This comparative study was conducted in department of general surgery at Liaquat medical university hospital Hyderabad/Jamshoro, from June 2017 to November 2017. Diagnosed Patients of psoas muscle abscess size more than 5cm, between 18 to 60 years of age and either of gender were included. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, A and B by odd and even method, patients in group A abscess was aspirated by percutaneous ultrasound guided aspiration and patients in group B was underwent open surgical drainage, all the data were entered in the pre designed performa and analyzed into SPSS V:16.0 Results: A total of 58 patients of Psoas muscle abscess were selected, the mean age of study subjects of group A was 38.5+10.5 and group B was 36.5+12.7 (p-673). Early post-operative pain relief was assessed among patients of group A as compared to group B. As per outcome resolution of abscess cavity was significantly high among patients of group B (p-0.004), while post-operative Hospital stay was significantly lower in group A (p-0.002). Conclusion: Both techniques has their own benefits like percutaneous aspiration has shorter duration of hospital stay while in complete resolution of abscess cavity was found in open surgical drainage group of patients.
