Intraoperative hydrostatic reduction of intussusception
AIMS To find out an easier way of reduction of intussusception during open surgery to avoid unnecessary bowel injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Under general anesthesia, before laparotomy, warm normal saline was infused into the rectum with a Foley catheter and an intravenous drip set maintaining the level of the bottle at 80 cm above the operating table. After opening the abdomen, pressure was a...
متن کاملUltrasound guided hydrostatic reduction of intussusception in children at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital: an initial experience.
Intussusceptions is the telescoping or invagination of a portion of intestine (intussusceptum) into an adjacent segment (intussuscipiens). It is one of the common causes of bowel obstruction in infants and toddlers.Sonography has now been accepted as a method for guiding hydrostatic reduction of intussusception with tap water, normal saline or Ringer's lactate solution. This method is currently...
متن کاملManagement of Perinatal Testicular Torsion: A Single Centre Experience
Perinatal testicular torsion (PTT) is a rare entity. The management of PTT is controversial, due to the low viability of the testis and the possibility of bilateral torsion. This is a review of our experience with six cases of PTT, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of this condition.
متن کاملReconstructive and Oncoplastic Surgery for Giant Phyllodes Tumors: A Single Centre\'s Experience
Phyllodes tumors are biphasic fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast. While the surgical management of these relatively uncommon tumors has been addressed in the literature, few reports have commented on the surgical approach to tumors greater than ten centimetres in diameter – the giant phyllodes tumor. We report a case of giant breast tumors and discuss the techniques utilized for pre-...
متن کاملSonographycally guided hydrostatic reduction of childhood intussusception
Background. Intussusception is the most common cause of bowel obstruction in children under two years of age. The proximal part of the bowel and its mesentery (the intussusceptum) enter within that part immediately beneath it (the intussuscipiens). Being pulled by peristalsis the mesenterial vessels get compressed which result in ishaemia of the bowel wall. Most intussusceptions are ileocolic. ...
