Perforated sigmoid diverticulitis in a lumbar hernia after iliac crest bone graft - a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND The combination of perforated diverticulitis in a lumbar hernia constitutes an extremely rare condition. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 66 year old Caucasian woman presenting with perforated sigmoid diverticulitis localized in a lumbar hernia following iliac crest bone graft performed 18 years ago. Emergency treatment consisted of laparoscopic peritoneal lavage. Elective sigmoid resection was scheduled four months later. At the same time a laparoscopic hernia repair with a biologic mesh graft was performed. CONCLUSION This case shows a very seldom clinical presentation of lumbar hernia. Secondary colonic resection and concurrent hernia repair with a biologic implant have proven useful in treating this rare condition.

An Outcome Comparison of Posterolateral Fusion Using Either Iliac Crest Autograft or Local Bone Graft: a Minimum 2-yearFollow-up
Autogenous iliac crest bone graft has been the gold standard for use in posterolateral spinal fusions despite a high incidence of morbidity associated with the harvesting process. Minor complications including increased blood loss, increased hospital stay, and superficial infections have been reported to occur in 9.4% to 25% of cases. Major complications such as deep infection, fracture of the ...

The iliac crest is a popular source for autogenous bone harvesting, but the process is rife with complications. This case report presents a patient that experienced incisional lumbar herniation of her kidney following an iliac crest bone harvesting procedure. A discussion is included on the underappreciated complications of this procedure and recommendations for improving outcomes with more tho...
متن کاملSmall Bowel Obstruction Caused by an Incarcerated Hernia after Iliac Crest Bone Harvest
The iliac crest has become an often used site for autogenous bone graft, because of the easy access it affords. One of the less common complications that can occur after removal is a graft-site hernia. It was first reported in 1945 (see the work by Oldfield, 1945). We report a case of iliac crest bone hernia in a 53-year-old male who was admitted for elective resection of a pseudarthrosis and r...
متن کاملThe effect of iliac crest autograft on the outcome of fusion in the setting of degenerative spondylolisthesis: a subgroup analysis of the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT).
BACKGROUND There is considerable controversy about the long-term morbidity associated with the use of posterior autologous iliac crest bone graft for lumbar spine fusion procedures compared with the use of bone-graft substitutes. The hypothesis of this study was that there is no long-term difference in outcome for patients who had posterior lumbar fusion with or without iliac crest autograft. ...
متن کاملIliac Crest Herniation Secondary to Autogenous Bone Grafting Found on Osteopathic Examination.
Surgical repair of difficult or nonunion fractures is frequently performed with autogenous bone grafts, most commonly from the iliac crest. Complications from this procedure may include vessel injury, nerve injury, pelvic instability, bowel herniation, and ileus. The authors report a case of iliac crest herniation in a patient presenting with a small-bowel obstruction 2 years after anterior ili...
