We present a case of a male child 8 years old presenting with a sigmoid volvulus causing ischemia of most of bowel loops resulting in a short bowel syndrome. It is the first reported case worldwide. A male child presented with a picture of intestinal obstruction. After complete laboratory and radiological investigation, laparotomy was done revealing a sigmoid volvulus compessing most of the small bowel loops with gangrenous sigmoid colon for which sigmoidectomy with end colostomy, resection of gangrenous small bowel loops and primary anastomosis of the remaining healthy part. There are few reported cases describing sigmoid volvulus in this age group. However, none of them resulted in short bowel syndrome. The median age was 7 years with a higher ratio in males than females (3.51). Sigmoid volvulus is not a common problem in children and adolescents, and is rarely considered as a cause of intestinal obstruction and it was never reported as a cause of short bowel syndrome. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment confer an excellent prognosis.

In patients with non-functioning PNEC (NF-PNEC) within the tail of the pancreas tumours can cause splenic vein thrombosis (SVT) and subsequent sinitral portal hypertension (SPH). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/azd5305.html Radical surgical resection in such patients with concomitant liver metastasis has not previously been reported. We present a 67-year old female patient who presented with a large NF-PNEC within the tail of the pancreas with liver metastasis. We performed a distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, partial gastrectomy and liver resection to achieve radical resecton. All patients with NF-PNEC within the tail of the pancreatic should be considered for radical surgical resection. In the presence of multi-visceral involvement and complications such as SVT and/or SPH multi-speciality surgical expertise is likely to be required. Radical multi-visceral resection for large NF-PNEC can be safely performed in the presence of SVT and SPH.

We describe the case of a patients with a diaphragmatic hernia associated with radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma who was treated by laparoscopic repair. An 82-years-old man with history of HCC with hepatitis C virus-related liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B). The patient was treated RFA to HCC for segment 4, 5, 6, 8. After 16 months from latest RFA for segment 8, the patient was admitted to our hospital because of mild dyspnea. Computed tomography revealed a diaphragmatic herniation of bowel loops into the right thoracic cavity. The patients electively underwent laparoscopic repair of the diaphragmatic hernia. The patient was discharged from hospital without any post-operative complications. The only treatment to diaphragmatic hernia is surgery, but liver cirrhosis patients limits this possibility. For the surgical treatment of patients with severe cirrhosis, the operation should be carefully assessed. We believe that a laparoscopic approach should be used for repairing diaphragmatic hernia. In the present case, we considered that a laparoscopic approach was safer and more feasible than open laparotomy. Diaphragmatic hernia is a rare late-onset complication associated with RFA for HCC. And patients with HCC often have severe liver dysfunction and cirrhosis. A laparoscopic approach is safe and minimally invasive for sever cirrhosis patients.

We report a relatively rare case of partial-thickness radial tear in the inferior surface of lateral meniscus, while the superior surface is intact. This situation was similar to PASTA rotator cuff tear. Meanwhile, there is a full-thickness radial tear in the edge. A 17-year-old boy twisted the left knee while playing basketball. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed radial tear of the lateral meniscus. During arthroscopy, it was found that there was a full-thickness radial tear of about 2 mm located in the edge. Partial meniscectomy was performed to treat radial meniscal tear located in the white area. After that, we found that the superior surface of the lateral meniscus was intact. However, in the inferior surface of the lateral meniscus, partial-thickness radial tear was found extending to red zone. We used FASTFIX (Smith & Nephew) for all-inside suture. As of three months after this surgery, the patient recovered smoothly. Suspect that the force acts on a special position of meniscus and the thickness of the meniscus is uneven. Thus, it leads to partial-thickness radial tear in the inferior-surface, while the superior surface is intact. Partial-thickness radial tears in the inferior surface of lateral meniscus are relatively rare. This situation was similar to PASTA rotator cuff tear. Because the superior surface of the meniscus is intact, it may results in misdiagnosis. It's easy to ignore the inferior surface injury.

Heterotopic mesenteric ossification (HMO) is a rare condition that can be hereditary or nonhereditary. It can lead to small bowel obstruction, which may require corrective surgery. Most affected patients have a history of abdominal surgery or trauma. Spontaneously occurring HMO is even rarer, with only 7 cases reported till date. There has been no previous report of spontaneous peripancreatic HMO. A 60-year-old man presented with complaints of recurrent nausea and vomiting for 2 months. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed luminal stenosis and edematous changes involving the second and third parts of the duodenum but not its complete obstruction. Abdominopelvic computed tomography showed faintly enhanced thickening of the involved duodenal walls along with mild dilatation of the common bile duct. Considering the possibility of periampullary cancer, we performed a pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of HMO with extensive fibrosis involving the peripancreatic soft tissue.
