Free gas in the peritoneal cavity: the final hazard of diathermy.
Fires and explosions in the operating theatre are rare events, but are devastating in terms of structural damage to the equipment in theatres and to human lives. Fuel, oxygen, and source of ignition are the three factors causing explosion. Explosion during emergency laparotomy for perforated bowel has not been reported in the literature. In the case reported here, fuel in the form of free gas c...
متن کاملIgnition of Free Gas in the Peritoneal Cavity: An Explosive Complication
We report an extremely rare event where the use of diathermy to enter the peritoneal cavity caused the free gas within it to ignite and consequently burn the surgeon during a standard right hemicolectomy procedure for a caecal perforation. This should be noted as a possible safety concern intraoperatively. We conclude that sharp dissection should always be used initially when entering the perit...
متن کاملDeterminants of Infection in the Peritoneal Cavity
The introduction of bacteria into an animal host initiates a series of events which culminates in either the multiplication or destruction of the microbes. In general, the outcome of infections is influenced by cellular and humoral bactericidal factors as well as by the properties of the bacteria which are related to virulence, i.e., toxins, capsules, etc. The interplay between these factors wh...
متن کاملmicroRNA Regulation of Peritoneal Cavity Homeostasis in Peritoneal Dialysis
Preservation of peritoneal cavity homeostasis and peritoneal membrane function is critical for long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. Several microRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in the regulation of key molecular pathways driving peritoneal membrane alterations leading to PD failure. miRNAs regulate the expression of the majority of protein coding genes in the human genome, thereby a...
متن کاملPrimary Leiomyosarcoma of Peritoneal Cavity
Leiomyosarcomas of soft tissue are the rare tumors and the retroperitoneum is the most common site involved. We report a case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the peritoneal cavity which clinically presented with suprapubic, freely mobile, nontender mass which measured 10×10 cm in size. Contrast enhanced computed tomography revealed well defined heterogenous hypodense solid cystic mass. The mass wa...
