Peritoneal dialysis catheter obstruction caused by fimbriae of the fallopian tube : six case reports

FALLOPIAN TUBE BLOCKAGE Fallopian Tube Occlusion, Fallopian Tubal Obstruction, Bilateral Tube Obstruction, Unilateral Tube Obstruction

[Adnexal torsion caused by Fallopian tube cancer].

Fallopian tube cancer is the less frequent gynecological cancer. It occurs typically between 40 and 65 years old. Diagnosis is usually achieved earlier than in ovarian cancer cases, due to early symptoms (typically abdominal pain, hydro-hematorrhea and adnexal mass). Preoperative correct diagnosis is infrequent, being most cases diagnosed during the surgery or in the pathological study. Histolo...

Peritoneal dialysis catheter placement by interventional radiologists

In this issue, Quach and colleagues report on their singlecenter experience with peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters placed by radiologists using ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, largely as outpatient same-day procedures under local anesthesia [1]. In 30 catheters placed, subsequent migration was noted in four patients and one patient ultimately required surgical intervention. These general...

Clinical observation of fallopian tube obstruction recanalization by ozone

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical effect of fallopian tube obstruction recanalization by ozone. METHODS Total 116 cases of patients undergoing the fallopian tube obstruction were randomly divided into the experimental group and control group, with 58 cases in each group. All patients underwent the interventional fallopian tube recanalization. The patients in the experimental group underwe...

Intestinal obstruction caused by retained surgical sponge: two case reports.
