The most common complications of Meckel’s diverticulum are Intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal haemorrhage, adherence, intussusception, acute diverticulitis and rarely malignancy. Reported mechanism of intestinal obstruction in Meckel’s diverticulum include invagination, adherence and volvulus. Obstruction of ileum caused by volvulus of Meckel’s diverticulum is not a very frequent conditio...

According to the wide application of segmental lining in mechanized tunneling, recognizing the behavior of segmental lining joints is important in tunnels designing. In the structural analysis of the tunnel segmental lining, segmental joints can be considered as elastic joints, and their stiffness characteristics are affected by the rotational, shear, and axial stiffness. The purpose of this wo...

Normal embryonic intestinal rotations were first described by Mall in 1898 [1]. In 1923, Dott, published the article about abnormalities of rotation and fixation with their surgical aspects [2]. Classic Ladd's procedure as an academic operative technique to treat midgut volvulus was introduced in 1936 by himself [3]. The true incidence of malrotation of the midgut is unknown because the spectru...

INTRODUCTION: Volvulus of the stomach is a rare disease that can lead to serious consequences, including death patients. Among all volvulus various parts gastrointestinal tract, corresponds 0.5% cases. Chronic volvulus, while being detected timely, be successfully treated conservatively or surgically without leading life threatening conditions. So diagnosis chronic gastric an important and topi...

INTRODUCTION Gastric volvulus is torsion of the stomach and requires immediate treatment. The optimal treatment strategy for patients with gastric volvulus is not established, because of significant variations in the cause and clinical course of this condition. PRESENTATION OF CASES We describe our experience with six elderly patients with gastric volvulus caused by different conditions using...

Although segmental tunnel linings are often used for seismic areas, the influence of segment joints on the segmental lining behavior under seismic loading has not been thoroughly considered in the literature. This paper presents the results of a numerical study investigating the effects of the rotational, axial, and radial joint stiffness of the longitudinal joints on the structural force...

A 3-day-old male baby was diagnosed to have proximal small bowel atresia. At operation type-IIIa jejuno-ileal atresia (JIA) was encountered with a jumbled up sequestered bowel-loop-mass. The jejunum was 10 cm and ileum merely 1 cm. The bowel was sequestered on account of volvulus in-utero. Atresia is derived from Greek words " a " (no) and " tresis " (orifice); and refers to congenital obstruct...

INTRODUCTION Gastric volvulus (GV) is a rare and life threatening condition if not treated promptly or wrongly diagnosed. The main complication of gastric volvulus is foregut obstruction. The extreme rotation can cut off blood supply to the stomach and even distal organs, which can lead to ischemia and necrosis of the affected area. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report a case of a 41yo female that ...

Acute gastric volvulus, a condition where the stomach rotates around itself, is rare clinical entity that requires prompt identification and immediate intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. Upon diagnosis, an emergent exploratory laparotomy procedure of choice, especially if complications, such as obstruction, ischemia, or perforation, are present. Management techniques surgica...

Less than 2% of cases of intestinal obstruction in adults is caused by cecal volvulus. Although recent abdominal surgery has been implicated, no previous case of cecal volvulus has been reported after laparoscopic appendectomy.
