Rectus sheath abscess after laparoscopic appendicectomy
نویسنده
چکیده
Port site wound infection, abdominal wall hematoma and intraabdominal abscess formation has been reported after laparoscopic appendicectomy. We describe here a rectus sheath abscess which occurred three weeks after the laparoscopic appendicectomy. It was most likely the result of secondary infection of the rectus sheath hematoma due to bleeding into the rectus sheath from damage to the inferior epigastric arteries or a direct tear of the rectus muscle. As far as we are aware this complication has not been reported after laparoscopic appendicectomy.

Appendicectomy is one of the commonest emergency operations performed worldwide. In cases of perforated appendicitis, the prevalence of post-operative abscess formation is up to 20 per cent (1). Most cases can be managed with drainage and antibiotics. However, a minority of these will leave a retained appendicolith. We present a case of a 17 year old female patient who presented 1 year after la...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Harvest of the Rectus Abdominis for Perineal Reconstruction
The rectus abdominis is a workhorse flap for perineal reconstruction, in particular after abdominoperineal resection (APR). Laparoscopic and robotic techniques for abdominoperineal surgery are becoming more common. The open harvest of the rectus abdominis negates the advantages of these minimally invasive approaches. (Sentence relating to advantages of laparoscopic rectus deleted here.) We pres...
متن کاملComparison of USG guided modified rectus sheath block with intraperitoneal instillation with Inj. Bupivacaine for postoperative pain relief in diagnostic laparoscopy
Background: Laparoscopic surgery is associated with considerable postoperative pain, though it is less compared to open surgery. Post laparoscopic pain results from phrenic nerve irritation caused by residual gas, stretching of the intraabdominal cavity and peritoneal inflammation. The Modified Rectus Sheath Block (MRSB) is fairly easy and reliable procedure when performed using ultrasound guid...
