Unclear Etiology

Abstract Para duodenal hernias, the most common type of retroperitoneal hernias, are thought to occur naturally from abnormal gut rotation because of fusion folds within the peritoneum. Retroperitoneal hernias are a rare postoperative complication and have not been described after renal transplantation via a retroperitoneal approach. This case report presents a 48-year-old male with intestinal obstruction after renal transplant due to herniation into the retroperitoneum via an incidentally created peritoneal defect. We suggest computed tomography with oral contrast be used in the early postoperative phase to assess for obstruction in patients with prolonged ileus of unclear etiology who have undergone retroperitoneal dissection. Small peritoneal defects should be closed during dissection. Larger, or multiple peritoneal defects should be extended to make a single, large defect to decrease the possibility of bowel herniating and becoming incarcerated.

Detailed Assessment

Gingival overgrowth is the enlargement of gingival tissues and has various underlying aetiological factors. This case report highlights the multifactorial aetiology of gingival overgrowth for a patient who was prescribed an immunosuppressive strategy following renal transplantation, had poor levels of oral hygiene and a diet deficient in fruit and vegetables. The report highlights the importance of a detailed assessment to identify all underlying factors and demonstrates how a referral to the specialist services for gingival overgrowth led to a diagnosis of vitamin C deficiency. It also illustrates how both patient engagement and a conservative cause-related therapy can achieve a satisfactory resolution without any surgical intervention. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case report highlights the importance of a detailed assessment to diagnose all relevant underlying aetiological factors involved in the development of gingival overgrowth. It also illustrates how both patient engagement and a conservative cause-related therapy can achieve a satisfactory resolution of gingival overgrowth without any surgical intervention.
