CAPD catheter malfunction is a common problem. Obstruction due to wrapping by appendices epiploicae of sigmoid colon has been rarely reported in literature. We report a case of CAPD catheter malfunction caused by catheter tip migration and obstruction by appendices epiploicae that was successfully managed by laparoscopic hanging loop technique. This case report highlights the ease with which epiplopexy can be performed and catheter tip migration can be prevented by this innovative laparoscopic procedure.

Introduction: Congenital as well as acquired diseases may be responsible for the development of a megacolon. In adult patients, Clostridium difficile associated infection as well as late-onset of Morbus Hirschsprung disease are known to cause a megacolon. In addition, malignant as well as benign colorectal strictures may lead to intestinal dilatation. In case of an idiopathic megacolon, the underlying cause remains unclear. Case Presentation: We describe the case of a 44-year-old male patient suffering from a long history of chronic constipation. He presented himself with an obscurely dilated large intestine with bowel loops up to 17 centimeters in diameter. Radiological as well as endoscopic examination gave evidence of a spastic process in the sigmoid colon. The patient was treated with a subtotal colectomy and the intraoperative findings revealed a stenotic stricture in the sigmoid colon. Since the histological examination did not find a conclusive reason for the functional stenosis, an immunohistochemical staining was advised. This showed a decrease in interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the stenotic part of the sigmoid colon. Discussion: This case report describes a patient with an idiopathic megacolon, where the underlying cause remained unclear until an immunohistochemical staining of the stenotic colon showed a substantial decrease of ICCs. Various pathologies leading to a megacolon are reviewed and discussed.

The prevention of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter complications is essential to achieve a successful outcome. In recent years, nephrologists have performed more PD catheter insertion surgeries in Japan. The prevention of catheter complications is crucial for nephrologists who do not have all-around surgical skills. PD catheter tip migration is a common complication and a significant cause of catheter malfunction. Several preventive techniques have been reported for the PD catheter tip migration. This perspective described the following: (1) surgical technique in laparotomy, (2) laparoscopic surgery, (3) peritoneal wall anchor technique, and (4) catheter type selection. We hope that more effective methods of preventing catheter complications will be developed to ensure the success of PD treatment.

Introduction. Many factors have been indentified as a possible cause of rectal prolaps. Despite the fact that it is not a lifethreating condition, its clinical presentation varies, and sometimes it can present as an emergency. We presented a patient with prolapse of an unusually large segment of the rectosigmoid colon caused by chronic constipation, as an incarcerated segment repaired surgically. Case report. A 62-year-old female patient was referred to the Emergency Department in bad condition with severe pain in the perianal region. On examination a complete rectal prolaps as well as a part of sigmoid colon were found. Macroscopically, the prolapsed segment appeared edematous, livid, with ulcerations. An attempt to manually reduce prolapse failed, therefore resection of 50 cm of sigmoid colon with rectopexy had to be performed. No complications occurred and the patient was without symptoms six months later. Colonoscopy did not reveal any abnormality. Conclusion. Although the preoperative management and preparation of the patient was limited, emergancy surgical intervention for such a case was the strategy of choice due to magnitude of the prolapsing segment. It provided a successful and permenant solution.

Intentional replantation is a procedure in which an intentional tooth extraction is performed followed by reinsertion of the extracted tooth into its own alveolus. In this article, intentional replantation is described and discussed as a treatment approach for failed root canal treatment with broken instrument periapically in mandibular second molar.
