Akut mezenterik vasküler iskemide erken tanı ve tedavinin önemi

Acute mesenteric vascular ischemia, is a life-threatening surgical emergency usually seen in the elderly population that has a mortality rate between 60-100 %. It is generally due to an acute occlusion of the major vessels of small intestine and may cause higher morbidity and mortality rates when getting late in the diagnosis and treatment. in the present study, 61 patients treated for acute mesenteric vascular ischemia between 1983-1997 were evaluated, retrospectively. While all patients were examined in terms of aetiology, diagnosis of the disease, treatment, morbidity and mortality, the principles of current surgical therapy and diagnosis of patients with acute mesenteric vascular ischemia were discussed under literature.Özet: Akut mezenterik iskemi, hayatı tehdit eden ve genellikle yaşı populasyonda ortaya çıkan ve %60-100 arasında mortalite ile seyreden cerrahi acillerden biridir. İnce barsağın ana damarlarının akut tıkanıklığı ile ortaya çıkan bu hastalık, tanı ve tedavide gecikildiğinde yüksek morbidite ve mortalite ile seyreder. Bu çalışmada, 1983-1997 yılları arasında tedavi edilen 61 olgu retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Olgular etiyoloji, preoperatif tanı yöntemleri, uygulanan tedavi şekilleri, morbidite ve mortalite yönünden incelendi ve akut mezenterik vasküler iskemili olgularda güncel tanı ve tedavi prensipleri literatür eşliğinde tartışıldı

Abdominal cocoon syndrome as a rare cause of mechanical bowel obstruction: report of two cases

WOS: 000298313000015PubMed ID: 22290011An abdominal cocoon is an extremely rare condition, and has been reported mainly in young adolescent women as a cause of small bowel obstruction. In these patients, the small bowel is encased in a fibrous sac called an abdominal cocoon. We hereby present two cases who were diagnosed only by laparotomy and their correlation with the literature. They both received early intervention, thus preventing the need for bowel resection. The pathology of both membranes showed inflammation
