Proper Management for Morbid Iatrogenic Retroperitoneal Barium Insufflation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A barium enema is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure commonly used for colon and rectum problems. Rectal perforation with extensive intra- and/or extraperitoneal spillage of barium is a devastating complication of a barium enema that leads to a significant increase in patient mortality. Due to the low number of reported cases in recent scientific literature and the lack of experience with the management of these cases, we would like to present our treatment approach to a rare case of retroperitoneal contamination with barium, followed by its intraperitoneal involvement during a diagnostic barium enema. Our experience with long-term management of the patient and the good outcome will be depicted in this paper.

Successful endoscopic management of large upper gastrointestinal perforations following EMR using over-the-scope clipping combined with stenting.
Large iatrogenic gastrointestinal perforations (greater than 15–20mm) following therapeutic endoscopy remain a challenge despite growing expertise in endoscopic perforation closure techniques. Current treatment options include stenting [1,2] or clipping, including the use of an over-the-scope clipping device [3–5]. We present our experience using a combination of over-the-scope clipping and ste...
متن کاملCorrelation between CO2 storage at the last minute of gas insufflation and area of retroperitoneal lacuna during retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy
BACKGROUND Adequate operation interspace is the premise of laparoscopy, and carbon dioxide (CO2) was an ideal gas for forming lacuna. A retroperitoneal space is used to form operation interspace in retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy by making ballooning, and the retroperitoneal space has no relative complete and airtight serous membrane, therefore CO2 absorption may be greater in ...

متن کاملRetroperitoneal Pyelolithotomy for Management of Renal Calculi
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the role of retroperitoneoscopic pyelolithotomy in the management of renal calculi. METHODS Fifty-six cases (male, 27; female, 29) of solitary or multiple renal calculi were evaluated in the study. There were 46 patients with a single calculus, 4 patients with a staghorn calculus, and 6 with a caliceal calculus. Retroperitoneoscopic pyelolithotomy was carried out after ...
