introduction: bacterial translocation is defined as the passage of bacteria from intestinal tract to the extraintestinal organs such as the peritoneum and blood circulation. the aim of this study is to examine bacterial translocation (regarding type of bacteria and effect of time of obstruction on bacterial translocation) from intestinal lumen to the peritoneum and viscera in acute, simple mech...

Chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIIP), a syndrome of ineffectual motility due to a primary disorder of the enteric nerve or muscle, is rare and is a disorder of intestinal motility, characterized by recurrence of continuous symptoms and signs of intestinal obstruction in the absence of true mechanical obstruction. It is impossible to identify by clinical appearance and routine...

BACKGROUND Adhesions are the most important cause of intestinal obstruction. Approximately 25% of surgical admissions for acute abdominal conditions are due to intestinal obstruction. Better diagnostic and treatment methods of intestinal obstruction could potentially reduce mortality rate to 5-10%. Gastrografin(®) could contribute to this achieve this. AIM To present a protocol to treat adhes...

Abdominal tuberculosis is a specific tuberculous lesion of the abdominal organs. In children, mostly secondary, occurring mainly in form mesadenitis and intestinal tuberculosis. most cases (63–96%), process localized ileocecal valve. The article presents case untimely diagnosed with lymph node lesions peritoneum intestines child intrathoracic all groups during densification calcification onset....

Intestinal Tuberculosis (Koch’s) has become a very common disease which pose great diagnostic challenge because of its non- specific presentation and broad-spectrum features lead to delays in diagnosis along with developments complications. This 70 years old female patient presented intestinal obstruction multiple strictures. It was tough distinguish from Crohn’s Disease this case as the sectio...

Introduction. Gossypiboma (GP) is a term used to express the mass resulting from forgotten cotton sponge in operations. Rarely, a transmural migration may occur into the gastrointestinal lumen without creating any defect by GP. Laparotomy or endoscopic removal may be required, by the way it can be taken out of the body itself by intestinal ways. In this study, we reported a case of mechanical i...

During the period of 1984-1995, nine young patients were admitted to Shiraz University Hospitals with a chief complaint of abdominal mass, weight loss and chronic diarrhea. Clinically, these cases were diagnosed as intestinal tuberculosis or lymphoma. Laparotomy revealed a huge mass involving the upper small intestine. Histologic sections showed diffuse infiltration of the intestinal wall w...

Abdominal cocoon or sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a rare condition of unknown cause in which intestinal obstruction results from the encasement of variable lengths of bowel by a dense fibrocollagenous membrane that gives the appearance of a cocoon. This condition is not often suspected preoperatively, and therefore the diagnosis is usually made at laparotomy (1). The abdominal cocoon ...

Background: Intestinal obstruction is responsible for approximately 20% of surgical admissions for acute abdominal conditions. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) plays an important role in revealing the site, level, and cause of obstruction and demonstrating threatening signs of bowel inviability. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study conducted on 40 patients with suspected ...
