Adhesive Intestinal Obstruction

Perineal hernia with bowel gangrene is uncommon but known complication of laparoscopic extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE). We present a rare case of closed loop small bowel obstruction with bowel gangrene secondary to an incarcerated perineal hernia that developed 7 years after an ELAPE. Intraoperatively, we found a definitive transition point due to adhesions in pelvis and a closed loop obstruction of the distal small bowel at different site with gangrenous intestine. She was managed successfully surgically with adhesiolysis and fixation of defect with biological mesh. Prevalence of perineal hernias will rise in future because of the increasing cases of ELAPE, in which no repair of pelvic floor is performed. The need of follow-up of these operations and more reporting of such cases are important in increasing awareness of these complications. Patients should be made aware of such complications and should seek urgent medical care.

Introduction Intertwining of bowel loops to form a knot is very rare cause of intestinal obstruction. Among intestinal knots, ileoileal knotting is the most rare, with only a handful of cases reported in literature. We present a rare case of ileoileal knotting and review of small bowel knots. The aim of this review was to summarise the existing evidence on small bowel knots and to postulate the possible mechanisms for knotting. Methods A systematic search was conducted for literature published up to December 2019 using MEDLINE, PubMed and Google Scholar databases, together with the references of the full-text articles retrieved. Papers with case reports of small bowel knots were considered to be eligible for inclusion in the review. Findings A total of 14 case reports were evaluated. There was no clear predilection for age or sex. Mostly cases were from Asia and Africa with no cases from the West. The presenting complaints were abdominal pain (93%), vomiting (64%), abdominal distention (57 %) and obstipation (43%). The bowel was gangrenous in 78% of cases. All underwent exploration, with the majority requiring resection and anastomosis of the involved segment. Conclusion Ileoileal knotting is a very rare cause of intestinal obstruction. Possible mechanisms include loaded bowel with longer mesentery, vigorous peristalsis, single bulky meal, pregnancy and intussusception. The condition is extremely difficult to diagnose preoperatively and it is usually diagnosed intraoperatively. The standard of treatment is resection of gangrenous part and anastomosis.

Rare Case Report

Acute intestinal obstruction is one of the most common surgical emergencies encountered by surgeons on daily bases. Most common causes for small bowel obstruction includes postoperative adhesions and hernia. One of the rarest cause of intestinal obstruction is appendicular band syndrome. Here we report a case of small bowel obstruction due to appendicular tie syndrome in a 70 years old male patient at GMERS hospital, Dharpur, Patan, Gujarat, India.

Increasing Trends

Internal hernia is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. Nowadays acquired internal hernias are in increasing trends due to increased surgical procedures thus iatrogenic causes surpassing congenital internal hernias. Internal hernias after hysterectomy due to peritoneal defect is extremely rare. Here we present a case of 67 years old female status post hysterectomy ten years back, also a known type 2 diabetic presented to the emergency department with features suggestive of intestinal obstruction. Patient was taken up for emergency laparotomy and intra operative findings revealed small bowel loops herniating in a cavity that is formed by bladder anteriorly, caecum and sigmoid colon laterally and rectum posteriorly. Bowel loops were released. The bowel was found to be viable and the defect was closed. Bowel movements resumed on the third post-operative day. This case is presented here as it is an extremely rare case of internal hernia causing small bowel obstruction.

Internal hernias are an infrequent cause of intestinal obstruction with an incidence of 0.2-0.9%, therefore their early diagnosis represents a challenge. The most frequently herniated organ is the small bowel, which results in a wide spectrum of symptoms, varying from mild abdominal pain to acute abdomen. We present the case of an eight-year old patient with nonspecific digestive symptoms, a transoperative diagnosis was made in which an internal hernia was found strangulated by plastron in the distal third of the appendix. Appendectomy was performed and four days later the patient was discharged without complications.
