Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is defined as the involuntary loss of urine during physical exertion, efforts, and coughing or sneezing in the absence of detrusor contraction. It is the most common type of urinary incontinence in women. Midurethral slings are one of the most popular surgical options to treat patients with SUI. Transobturator tapes (TOTs) are one of the mid-urethral slings with an excellent success and rare complications rate. Yet, there are some reported rare and serious complications. In this study, we report one case who underwent TOT insertion then developed a serious complication, discussing the management strategies and outcome.
The jejunoileal bypass is one of the bariatric surgical options which have been abandoned for two reasons: first, it leads to severe malnutrition and liver failure and, second, the bypassed jejunum-being a blind loop-is susceptible to bacterial accumulation which might become a source of sepsis due to bacterial translocation. We hereby report a case of a 27-year-old lady who presented with jejunojejunal intussusception of the blind jejunal loop 2 years after jejunoileal bypass surgery. This complication could have led to serious consequences if it was not managed in the appropriate time.
