A rare condition, sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, is characterized by a fibrotic membrane forming over the bowels, leading to intestinal obstruction. In this case of a 56-year-old male patient with a history of laparoscopic gastric bypass, a computed tomography scan showed findings indicative of the condition. Extensive adhesiolysis was performed, and biopsies confirmed the presence of fusiform cells (D2-40 positive on immunochemistry) resembling fibroblasts, within dense collagenous peritoneal tissue sheets, typical of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis. The prevalence of this condition is uncertain, and diagnosis typically requires a peritoneal biopsy due to the nonspecific clinical presentation., (Copyright: © 2024 Permanyer.)

Blunt abdominal trauma occurs in 20% of polytraumatized patients, of which approximately 5% may have mesenteric lesions. We present a case of a woman suffering from a blunt abdominal trauma, who underwent computed tomography with evidence of hematoma on the right flank, which was controlled by angioembolization of the superior mesenteric artery. Treatment of mesenteric lesions will be determined according to the hemodynamic status of the patient, since in view of stability, a choice can be made between open surgery and embolization, but in case of instability, laparotomy is recommended.

Introduction: It is crucial the timely detection of a new infection or the persistence of it to improve the survival rates, there is no index that can determine the need for relaparotomy., Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic certainty of the model elaborated by Kiewiet-Van Ruler., Method: A retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study, patients diagnosed with abdominal sepsis who underwent exploratory laparotomy between January 2013 to and May 2015., Results: We included 109 patients, 63 male patients and 46 female patients. Mortality of 16.5%. 68 cases had a score lower than or equal to 19, of which 17 -patients (43%) did need to reoperate. The second group with a score higher than 20 was 41 patients, of which 22 (56%) required reoperation. In the individual analysis of the variables, a significant value was determined in five of them, with p < 0.05. Only one variable (hemoglobin < 8.1 mg/dl) in the chi-square test and confidence interval was not significant and I do not help so much to predict reoperation., Conclusions: The utility of the model proposed by Kiewiet-Van Ruler results in an acceptable prediction value for re laparotomy., (Copyright: © 2019 Permanyer.)

Introduction: Trauma is a leading cause of morbimortality in the world. Intraabdominal compartment is the third most affected anatomical region and bleeding from this origin is difficult to identify, therefore the importance to predict possible lesions to the abdominal cavity., Objective: To describe and analyze the sociodemographic profile and injuries found in patients with abdominal trauma in a western hospital in Mexico., Method: Consecutive patients included in the local registry GDL-SHOT were analyzed., Results: From 4961 patients, 91.4% were men, with a mean age of 28.7 years. Regarding the mechanism of trauma, 39.7% were stab wounds, 33% blunt abdominal trauma and 27.3% gunshots. The most affected organs were: small bowel (20.9%), liver (18.2%), and colon (14.2%). The mean hospital stay was 6.95 days with a mortality of 6.74%., Conclusion: In Mexico, abdominal trauma represents an important cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in young patients. We found an important amount of penetrating trauma., (Copyright: © 2019 Permanyer.)

Background: The word «re-laparotomy» defines the surgical procedure in which the abdominal cavity is re-explored to resolve the complications of the disease or initial surgery., Objective: To determine the prevalence of abdominal re-operations in patients undergoing elective and emergency surgery in the General Hospital of Matamoros., Material and Methods: A retrospective, observational, longitudinal study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of patients with a re-operation from January 2014 to January 2015, statistically analysing the variables: Age, sex, type of surgery, complications, and postoperative course., Results: A total of 21 re-operated patients were found, the majority of whom were women (52.38%). The cases were more common in ages between 70 and 79 years old, in both sexes. Almost two-thirds (61.91%) of re-operations were after an emergency surgery. The residual abscess (23.8%) and evisceration (23.8%) were the most frequent indications for re-intervention. There were postoperative complications in 23.8%, with wound dehiscence (60%) being the most frequent. There was an 85.6% survival rate after the re-intervention., Conclusions: The study showed a low incidence of re-interventions and a low mortality. There is evidence of major occurrence of abdominal re-interventions in advanced ages, in female patients, and emergency surgery., (Copyright © 2016 Academia Mexicana de Cirugía A.C.
