  • Supralevator abscess: New treatment for an uncommon aetiology: Case report
    Publication . Aparício, DJ; Leichsenring, C; Sobrinho, C; Pignatelli, N; Geraldes, V; Nunes, V
    Abstract INTRODUCTION: Supralevator abscess is the least common type of anorectal abscess. Its diagnosis can be hard and treatment difficult. PRESENTATION OF THE CASE: A 48-year-old men was diagnosed in the emergency department with a supralevantor abscess. Under general anaesthesia, the abscess drainage was accomplished after removal of a fish bone, who was perforating the rectum. Due to persistent rectal purulent discharge, a pelvic Magnetic Resonance (MRI) was performed: a supralevator abscess adjacent to the internal obturator muscle and an inter-sphincteric fistulae from the inferior margin of this collection were identified. A Pezzer® drain was placed through the fistula tract. After radiological resolution, under general anaesthesia, the patient was submitted to extraction of the drain and marsupialization of the path left using an ENDO GIA®. At two year follow up he remained asymptomatic. DISCUSSION: Despite of the abscess aetiology, the principles of treatment are the same: good radiological characterization and proper drainage. An adequate radiological characterization is important to avoid iatrogenic creation of a complex fistulae. CONCLUSION: If a supralevator abscess diagnosis is made, fistulae trajectory should be studied. If no clear internal opening is evident, a pelvic MRI should be done followed by drainage of the abscess. After resolution the drain should be taken off and marsupialization with ENDO GIA® should be performed.

  • Transmesocolic hernia with sigmoid colon strangulation without surgical history: a series of two case reports.
    Publication . Aparício, DJ; Leichsenring, C; Pignatelli, N; Germano, A; Ferreira, S; Nunes, V
    The incidence of internal hernias is rare (0.2-0.9%). The prevalence of intestinal obstruction for an internal hernia is low (0.5-5%), however if strangulation is present the overall mortality is higher than 50%. There are multiple places where an internal hernia may be localized, with transmesenteric: transmesocolic (8%) and transomental (1-4%) as the rarest. We report a series of two cases (men with 40 years-old and women with 92 years old) of volvulus of colon sigmoid in a strangulated transverse and descendent transmesocolic hernia, with one case associated also to a transomental hernia. Both patients were submitted to a Hartmann procedure and on follow-up remained free of complains. In conclusion, transmesenteric internal hernia should be included as diagnosis hypothesis for intestinal occlusion and if the diagnosis is made, the patient should be submitted to emergency surgery due to high rates of complications, high morbidity and mortality.
