The concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6), vascular endothelium growth factor, tumor growth factor-beta, and insulin-like growth factor-1 were measured in the peritoneal fluid of patients with external genital endometriosis and healthy women by enzyme immunoassay. The effect of peritoneal fluid from patients with external genital endometriosis on proliferative activity of EA.Hy926 human endothelial cells was evaluated by the method based on the analysis of cell cycle by flow cytometry. The concentrations of IL-1beta, IL-6, and insulin-like growth factor-1 were increased in patients with endometriosis in comparison with healthy women. The peritoneal fluid from patients with endometriosis (but not from healthy women) significantly increased mitotic activity of endothelial cells and exhibited high angiogenic potential, which can promote implantation and growth of endometrial transplants. Presumably, insulin-like growth factor-1 stimulates this process.
Patient: Female, 19Final Diagnosis: Acute perforated appendicitis • appendiceal abscess • secondary necrosis of the ileal wallSymptoms: Right lower quadrant abdominal pain • feverMedication: —Clinical Procedure: Diagnostic laparoscopy • open drainage of an appendiceal abscess • appendectomy • ileal resectionSpecialty: SurgeryObjective:Management of emergency careBackground:Resectional procedures for advanced and complicated appendicitis are performed infrequently. Their extent can vary: cecal resection, ileocecectomy, and even right hemicolectomy. We present a very rare case of appendectomy that was combined with partial ileal resection for severe necrotic changes and small perforation of the ileum.Case Report:A 19-year-old female patient was hospitalized with right iliac fossa pain and fever 10 days after the onset of symptoms. On laparoscopy, a large mass in a right iliac fossa was found. The ultrasound-guided drainage of the suspected appendiceal abscess was unavailable. After conversion using McBurney’s incision, acute perforated appendicitis was diagnosed. It was characterized by extension of severe necrotic changes onto the ileal wall and complicated by right iliac fossa abscess. A mass was bluntly divided, and a large amount of pus with fecaliths was discharged and evacuated. Removal of necrotic tissues from the ileal wall led to the appearance of a small defect in the bowel. A standard closure of this defect was considered as very unsafe due to a high risk of suture leakage or bowel stenosis. We perform a resection of the involved ileum combined with appendectomy and drainage/tamponade of an abscess cavity. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. The patient was discharged on the 15th day.Conclusions:In advanced appendicitis, the involved bowel resection can prevent possible complications (e.g., ileus, intestinal fistula, peritonitis, and intra-abdominal abscess). Our case may be the first report of an appendectomy combined with an ileal resection for advanced and complicated appendicitis.
Introduction. Hysterectomy is still the most often intervention in gynecology up to present day (Adamyan L.V. et al., 2000). The most often intervention all over the world after appendectomy is hysterectomy (Wattiez A., et al. 2003).
The new method of radical uterine surgery combining endoscopic approachand minilaparotomy is represented. 105 operative invasions on the uterus were performed using this method. Characteristic features of the surgical method, which was elaborated, are minimum blood loss and tissue injury, simple technique, low requirement of analgetics, fast rehabilitation of patients activity and capacity for work, using common equipments and materials.
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.
