Intestinal stenosis of Garré: A rare cause of small bowel obstruction in the virgin abdomen

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Small bowel obstruction (SBO) in the virgin abdomen usually requires operative intervention. Intestinal stenosis of Garré is a rare and frequently missed cause of SBO following hernia repair. METHODS We describe a case of intestinal stenosis of Garré and provide a comprehensive review of the literature. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics V.22 software and included descriptive analysis. RESULTS Most males developed a delayed stricture following an inguinal hernia repair (93.3%). 84.6% of females, on the other hand, developed intestinal stenosis following repair of a femoral hernia. 87.5% of strictures developed on the right side. The timing of development of a bowel obstruction is very variable and ranges from 5days to 22 years. 22 patients (68.8%), however, presented with an obstruction within 5 months of hernia repair. CONCLUSIONS Intestinal stenosis of Garré is an under-reported cause of delayed stricture formation.It is most common following right inguinal hernia repair in men and right femoral hernia repair in women.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are rare. GISTs comprise 0.2% of gastrointestinal tumours and only 0.04% of small intestinal tumours. Jejunal GISTs are the rarest subtype. Only 10-30% progress to malignancy [Choi (Response evaluation of gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Oncologist 2008; 13: :4-7)].

متن کاملLate small bowel obstruction after blunt abdominal trauma.
Blunt abdominal trauma with intraperitoneal injury usually presents acutely. On rare occasions, such patients can present later on with features of small bowel obstruction due to stricture formation. It is thought that such a delayed stricture is due to subclinical bowel perforation, localised gut ischaemia, or injury to the mesenteric vasculature. This case demonstrates the mesenteric vascular...
