BACKGROUND Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FHCS) is caused by inflammation of perihepatic capsules associated with pelvic inflammatory disease. In recent years, infections with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have been increasingly occurring in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. However, NTM has never been reported in patients with FHCS. We present the first case of a patient with ext...

UNLABELLED OBJECTIVES The authors present a novel approach to nonresectional therapy in major hepatic trauma utilizing intraabdominal perihepatic vacuum assisted closure (VAC) therapy in the porcine model of Grade V liver injury. METHODS A Grade V injury was created in the right lobe of the liver in a healthy pig. A Pringle maneuver was applied (4.5 minutes total clamp time) and a vacuum a...

OBJECTIVE To establish whether the finding of perihepatic adhesions (PHAs) at laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy (EP) is associated with poor perioperative and reproductive outcomes. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was undertaken of all cases of EP managed surgically at a teaching hospital in northeast London in 2003-2013. Data for symptoms, reproductive history, ultrasonography findings,...

hepatobiliary scintigraphy is a sensitive method for intra & extera hepatic bile leak diagnosis. bile lead may be seen after hepatobiliary surgery, trauma, inflammatory disease or malignant neoplasms. although sonography and ct scanning are useful for diagnosis of peritoneal or perihepatic fluid, they cannot prove bile ascites. hepatobiliary scintigraphy with tc-99m-ida agents is a physiolo...

141 show that surgery is still the best treatment in many instances in terms of quality of the results, cost and rapid rehabilitation compared to non surgical methods such as interventional radiology or "operative" endoscopy.
