“…Reported cases of oesophageal mucocele have followed oesophageal replacement, whereby the native oesophagus is ligated and left in situ as a blind loop, and as a consequence of oesophageal exclusion, whereby the oesophagus is ligated due to oesophageal rupture 10 11. Interestingly, blind loop mucoceles of the gastric remnant following pouch creation in gastric bypass surgery have been reported 12 13. These mucoceles resulted from restricted drainage of the blind loop due to ligation or stricture, similar to our case.…”

Blind loop mucocele of a side-to-end colorectal anastomosis as a rare cause of large bowel obstruction

et al. 2023

Large bowel obstruction (LBO) after colorectal surgery draws wide differentials. To our knowledge, LBO due to blind colonic limb mucocele of a side-to-end colorectal anastomosis has not yet been described. We report a man in his late 50s presenting with pain, abdominal distension and constipation. He had extensive surgical history; notably, a side-to-end colorectal anastomosis was fashioned following Hartmann-type colostomy reversal. CT and MRI suggested a mucus-filled short blind colonic segment compressing the anastomotic site and causing LBO. Flexible sigmoidoscopy under general anaesthesia showed external rectal compression and lumen narrowing. Transrectal needle aspiration of the blind segment yielded 145 mL of mucoid fluid. The patient’s symptoms improved and he was discharged with outpatient Gastrografin enema and flexible sigmoidoscopy which confirmed successful blind segment emptying. This case highlights that blind colonic loop mucoceles in colorectal anastomosis can rarely cause obstruction, and endoscopic management is feasible when accurate diagnosis is confirmed on imaging.

“…Gastric mucocele is rarely described complication following conversional surgery. Only limited cases of gastric mucocele have been reported previously [ [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] ]. The exact mechanism of mucocele complication is not exactly known; however, misplacement of wrapped mesh is considered a major contributor.…”
