Objectives were to determine the frequency, describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects, therapeutic and analyze the postoperative course. Methodology: This was a retrospective study that covered 08 years (January 2009-December 2017). Inclusion criteria: all patients operated for obstruction of the small bowel by hail and/or flanging. Exclusion criteria: other types of occlusion and non-operated patients. Result: We recorded a total of 162 cases of hail obstruction by adhesions and/or flanges at 2.87%. The average age was 32.04, the sex ratio was 1.2. The average consultation time was 4 days. Abdominal pain associated with stopping of material and gas was present in all our patients. X-ray of the abdomen without preparation carried out in all the patients made it possible to objectify in 150 patients (92.6%) of the hydro-hail levels. Inoperative occlusion of hail on flange was present in 80 patients (49.4%). Occlusion of the small bowel on flange and adhesion was present in 69 patients. Adhesion obstruction of hail accounted for 6.8% (11 cases). The most commonly used surgical technique was flange resection in 91 patients (56.2%). The follow-up was simple in 151 patients (93.2%). Mortality was 1.2% of cases, i.e. 2 deaths. The average duration of hospitalization was 6 days. Conclusion: Occlusion of the small bowel by flanging and/or adherence is a surgical emergency whose prognosis depends on early management.
We report a case of torsion of an ovarian tumor in a 68-year-old woman with no medical and surgical history. The diagnosis was made in front of an intermittently painful pelvic mass. The treatment consisted of a left annexectomy; the anatomopathological examination revealed a fibro-inflammatory and hemorrhagic cyst. Postoperative results were simple with a 12-month follow-up.
Affecting young women, lactating adenoma is a rare benign tumor of the breast. It is seen mainly in the third trimester of pregnancy and in the postpartum period. Clinically, it is a solid mass, mobile typically benign but its character of rapid evolution is reminiscent of phyllodes tumors, sarcomas and galactoceles. The definitive diagnosis is histological. We report a case of lactating adenoma in a 26-year-old lactating woman, third procedure, second pare, with a history of tumor resection of the outer quadrants of the left breast, 9 months ago, whose histology evoked a fibrotic disease, cystic breast associating non-specific subacute mastitis with suppuration. Received for recurrence of a tumor in the left breast which was the site of a polylobed mass of about 10/5 cm occupying 3/4 of the breast with mobile ipsilateral axillary adenopathies. A micro tru-cut biopsy was performed and the histology was in favor of a lactating breast adenoma with no signs of malignancy. She underwent surgical excision, the consequences of which were simple.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
