Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure that can result in serious complications, and thus should be handled by a skilled endoscopist to minimize the risk of complications and to enhance the success rate. The incidence of ERCP-related complications is 5%-10%, most commonly involving post-ERCP pancreatitis and clinically significant post-endoscopic sphincterotomy ble...

INTRODUCTION Perforation peritonitis mostly results from the perforation of a diseased viscus. Other causes of perforation include abdominal trauma, ingestion of sharp foreign body and iatrogenic perforation. The diagnosis is mainly based on clinical grounds. Plain abdominal X-rays (erect) may reveal dilated and oedematous intestines with pneumoperitoneum. Ultrasound and CT scan may diagnose up...

AIM To determine the overall and comparative risk of procedure related perforation of balloon assisted enteroscopy (BAE) in Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS Systematic review (PROSPERO #CRD42015016381) of studies reporting on CD patients undergoing BAE. Seventy-three studies reporting on 1812 patients undergoing 2340 BAEs were included. Primary outcome of interest was the overall and comparative...

Squamous cell carcinoma arising from the small intestine is rare and difficult to identify as a primary or metastatic feature. We report a case of small intestinal squamous cell carcinoma manifesting as subacute peritonitis due to perforation. An 80-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with intermittent postprandial abdominal pain. He was diagnosed with acute peritonitis due to gastrointes...

Six years experience of blunt abdominal trauma leading to small intestine Perforation in Logh­rnan-e-Hakim Medical center. Between Sept. 1982 to Sept. 1988, 24 cases of abdominal blunt trauma leading to perforation of small intestine were managed at Loghman-e-Hakim Medical center. All the cases were treated surgically either by debridment and repair or resection and anas­tomosis, with no mortal...

one of the complications during a routine dental implant placement is accidental ingestion of the implant instruments, which can happen when proper precautions are not taken. appropriate radiographs should be taken to locate the correct position of foreign body; usually the foreign body passes asymptomatically from gastrointestinal tract but sometimes it may lead to intestinal obstruction, perf...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: considering the presence of squamous epithelial cells and fibroblasts in the tympanic membrane (tm), topical estrogen application may influence the repair of tm perforations. therefore, this study was designed to investigate the healing effect of topical estrogen on chronic tm perforations and improvement in hearing threshold. materials ...

Hysteroscopic complications are infrequent. Major complications include: 1. Uterine perforation that is the most common complication of operative hysteroscopy (0.8 - 1.6 %). The perforation rate is less during diagnostic hysteroscopy. 2. Bowel or bladder injury which is rare, but may occur in association with uterine perforation or as a result of use of electrical current. 3. Cervical laceratio...

soilage, the presence of an associated colonic pathology, the stability of the patient, and the overall underlying condition of the patient. Many studies have emphasized that prompt diagnosis is one of the most important prognostic factors after colonoscopic perforation because the severity of peritoneal contamination depends on the duration of contamination, as well as the size of perforation....
