Introduction Small bowel transplantation is a curative procedure for the treatment of irreversible intestinal failure with the complications of parenteral nutrition or for extensive intraabdominal disease requiring evisceration. 26 isolated small bowel transplants were performed in the UK in 2014 [1]. With advances in surgical techniques and the evolution of immunosuppressants, notably monoclon...

Parastomal evisceration is a very rare complication occurring after stoma formation. We report the case of this complication which occurred within 3 days status post end sigmoid colostomy in a 69-year-old male who initially presented with perianal infection-severe necrotizing fasciitis. This case highlights the significance of the size of a stomatal aperture and should remind general surgeons o...

Dear Sir, The association of penetrating umbilical injury through an umbilical hernia is worthy of note; because though this hernia is a frequent pathology of the anterior abdominal wall in children,[1] such injury is rarely reported. Due to the inherent fascial defect in umbilical hernia, trivial injuries directed against it could lead to breach of the skin and peritoneum with evisceration of ...

This study presents data which indicate that evisceration results in a marked decrease in the rate of disappearance of Evans Blue (T-1824) from the circulation of rabbits. Nephrectomy causes a significant increase in the rate of removal of dye from the blood stream. The possible explanations for these changes are considered, and the objections to the use of dye disappearance as a measure of cap...

Congenital hernia of umbilical cord is a less frequent entity in newborns and occasionally associated with other maladies. Herein, we report three unusual cases of hernia of umbilical cord. First case was associated with in-utero evisceration of entire small bowel through the presumably ruptured hernia of umbilical cord and other two cases had associated patent vitellointestinal duct (PVID). Al...

Umbilical hernia in the cirrhotic patient is frequently seen in the setting of refractory ascites. This article reports a rare case of spontaneous rupture of a recurrent umbilical hernia in a patient with persistent ascites, following an acute increase in intra-abdominal pressure, leading to bowel evisceration. This case highlights a potentially fatal complication of umbilical hernia in the set...

Transanal evisceration of the small bowel is a rare surgical emergency. Rectal perforation in such cases usually due to an underlying rectal prolapse. We report case middle aged (45 years) male with spontaneous and transanal bowel. Approximately 150 cm had eviscerated transanally patient required emergent abdominal exploration, reposition bowel, repair perforation. Small through anal verge cond...
