BACKGROUND Gastric outlet obstruction poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to general surgeons practicing in resource-limited countries. There is a paucity of published data on this subject in our setting. This study was undertaken to highlight the etiological spectrum and treatment outcome of gastric outlet obstruction in our setting and to identify prognostic factors for morbidity and ...

A 58 year old man underwent a laparotomy for intestinal obstruction, which proved to be due to intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Following a slow postoperative course, he was discovered to have a gastric phytobezoar. The association between bezoars and pseudo-obstruction has not been previously described, but might be expected. The gastric phytobezoar could not be fragmented mechanically, but it c...

Abdominal contouring procedures are frequently performed following massive weight loss after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. This last procedure can be associated with late complications like the development of internal hernias (e.g., Petersen hernia). The purpose this article is to present case hernia complete abdominoplasty. A 42-year-old female presented emergency department acute abdominal pain...

Gastric outlet obstruction due to ulceration is extremely rare in childhood. We report a case of gastric outlet obstruction possibly secondary to peptic ulceration and our surgical management. Our approach, without vagotomy or antrectomy, would appear to be a safe and effective.

The authors prepared obstructive jaundice models by cannulation into the common bile duct, using Wistar-strain rats, and examined active amines in the gastric wall and the incidence of AGML before and after biliary drainage. 1) The incidence of AGML was comparatively high in the group of 1-3 weeks' obstruction, while the incidence was greatly reduced after biliary drainage in the groups of 1-2 ...

Internal hernias comprise 1% of hernias, 8% of which are through the foramen of Winslow into the lesser sac. These hernias can mimic gastric outlet obstruction and cause associated morbidity. In this case, we describe a caecal herniation into the lesser sac presenting as true gastric outlet obstruction in a 69-year-old female. Initial computed tomography (CT) imaging demonstrated a distended st...
