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.

Bowel Gangrene

Intestinal obstruction during pregnancy is very rare. The mechanical intestinal obstruction was mostly due to adhesion from previous surgery.  Pregnancy may mask the symptoms of intestinal obstruction, and virgin abdomen adds to the ambiguity of the diagnosis. The mortality and morbidity increased for the mother and the fetus in the presence of bowel gangrene. We present a case of intestinal obstruction at mid-term pregnancy with extensive small bowel gangrene which necessitates right hemicolectomy and ends with a good outcome for the mother and fetus.

Introduction. Intestinal ischaemia is a devastating disease process that could lead to bowel gangrene and death if either not diagnosed early or left untreated; death is usually caused by irreversible shock, intestinal necrosis, or septicaemia. It is usually seen in elderly patients with atherosclerotic disease. The course of bowel ischaemia may affect variable lengths of the intestine and it is not unusual for the condition to be followed by uneventful recovery. Case presentation. We are reporting an unusually rare case where an elderly patient passed an extraordinarily long segment of bowel, including rectum, the whole of the large bowel, and part of the small bowel, through anus following an episode of nonobstructive mesenteric ischaemia (NOMI) complicating myocardial infarction. To our knowledge, there are only eight cases reported in the literature where the condition was diagnosed upon the passage of short segments of the large bowel particularly of the rectosigmoid segment through the anus. Conclusion. Physician should keep a high level of suspicion in order to prevent it or at least recognise it early on and offer adequate management and hence reducing morbidity and mortality.

We present the case of an 18 year old female with tuberculous mesenteric lymphadenopathy who came to hospital with peritonitis and acute mesenteric ischemia. An emergency exploratory laparotomy with resection of gangrenous small bowel and right colon with end-to-end anastomosis was performed. Subsequent evaluation for etiology of bowel gangrene was essentially normal. By exclusion, the most likely cause of acute mesenteric ischemia in this patient was of unknown etiology which is indeed rare. However, tuberculosis as a cause of mesenteric vasculitis and bowel gangrene needs to be explored.

Bowel Gangrene

Adult midgut malrotation with volvulus (AMMV) is an uncommon presentation which may be found incidentally during abdominal radiologic investigations or at laparotomy. We report a case of AMMV and small bowel gangrene in a 35-year-old Gravida four, Para three at 39 weeks, 4 days gestation who presented with a short history of worsening abdominal pain, repeated vomiting and abdominal wall guarding. Emergency caesarean section performed on account of a suspected placental abruption incidentally revealed a long segment of non-viable small intestine. Subsequent midline laparotomy disclosed a midgut malrotation with volvulus and bowel gangrene. This resulted in a 4.6m resection of non-viable small bowel with Ladd’s procedure. The patient developed moderate symptoms of short bowel syndrome in the post-operative period which was successfully managed non-operatively. This case report represents a rare diagnosis, in the West-African sub-region, of an adult midgut malrotation with volvulus mimicking a third trimester obstetric emergency.
