Medi-Tate, based in Israel, has won FDA de novo authorization for its iTind system to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. The minimally invasive system is used to implant and remove a nitinol device, during a five day outpatient procedure, which is used to continually push on the prostatic urethra and bladder neck to remodel them. The ischemic response to the application of pressure from the three pressure ridges of the implant creates three new channels within the tissue. This helps...

AbstractGiant inguinoscrotal hernia is typically defined as hernia extending below the midpoint of the inner thigh, in the standing position. These hernias can be a demanding surgical problem as replacing bowel contents into the abdomen that can cause a life-threatening increase in intra-abdominal pressures. Various techniques such as preoperative progressive pneumoperitoneum (PPP), debulking of abdominal contents with visceral resections with or without omentectomy and phrenectomy have been suggested....

AbstractVariants of hepatic duct anomalies are widely discussed in the literature. Duplication producing a double and/or aberrant extrahepatic bile duct is one of the rarest congenital variants that have been sparingly reported. A 71-year-old female presented with right-sided abdominal pain. Computerized tomography demonstrated an enhancing soft tissue thickening in the gastric pylorus with extension into the left lobe of the liver and invasion of the left intrahepatic bile ducts and dilatation of...

AbstractSubcutaneous emphysema (SE) is a rare complication of laparoscopic procedures, with an incidence rate of only 0.43–2.3%. In this report, we present a case of a 28-year-old male who underwent an elective laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair and developed surgical emphysema, hypercarbia and respiratory acidosis intraoperatively. Based on our findings, we concluded that regardless of the low incidence of SE, awareness of the associated risk factors should be ensured to avoid laparoscopic procedure-related...

AbstractA case of bowel obstruction resulting from bael fruit (Aegle marmelos) in the rectum is described in an Indian Hindu elderly man. To our knowledge, this is probably the first reported case with such a presentation in available literature. Dilemma at unsuspecting clinical history and finding of clinical examination and imaging evaluation made the case more interesting and challenging to manage. The case also highlights the need for awareness, education about prevailing unregulated practice...

AbstractWe report herein a 14-month-old boy with a left-sided peeping testis. At the age of 1 month, the left testis was palpated between the inguinal canal and the scrotum. When he was 6 months old, ultrasonography showed the left testis in the inguinal canal. At the age of 13 months, the left testis was not palpable. At the age of 14 months, he underwent surgery for a planned inguinal orchidopexy with a preoperative diagnosis of an undescended testis. When the inguinal canal was opened, a patent...

Head and neck angioleiomyomas are rarely encountered as they usually occur in the extremities. We report a case of a 71-year-old male, who presented with a 3-month history of a painless lateral neck lump. Ultrasound and computed tomography scans localised the suspicious hypervascular tumour to the right supraclavicular fossa between the two heads of sternocleidomastoid...

AbstractAn internal hernia is a protrusion of viscera through a congenital or acquired defect in the mesentery of peritoneum. They account for <0.9% of all small bowel obstructions [1] and ~4% of obstructions due to hernias [2]. We present a rare case of closed loop obstruction secondary to a band adhesion traversing the lower abdomen from a sigmoid colon appendage epiploicae to the right pelvic wall. A 82-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with nausea, vomiting and worsening...

AbstractSmall bowel obstruction is one of the most common causes for acute abdominal pain leading to surgical admissions, occurring most frequently due to postoperative adhesions. Although less common, internal hernia is also a possible etiology, in which a delay on its therapy may lead to a not so dismal morbidity and mortality. Here, we report the case of a 24 year old Caucasian man that was admitted in our emergency department with an inaugural episode of sudden-onset epigastric pain associated...
