Q4: What are the possible treatment options? The simplest surgical option for small or crushable enteroliths is to milk them distally into the caecum and allow them to pass naturally. If this is not possible, the treatment of this condition is an enterotomy to remove the enterolith with or without resection of the segment of small bowel involved with diverticulosis. Resection may be advocated i...

Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies continue to experience high annual losses that remain poorly explained. Numerous interacting factors have been linked to colony declines. Understanding the pathways linking pathophysiology with symptoms is an important step in understanding the mechanisms of disease. In this study we examined the specific pathologies associated with honey bees collected from ...

absractwe are presenting a case of abdominal tuberculosis who had peritonitis and twolarge enteroliths were removed from the small intestine during laparotomy. followinga full course of medical treatment, she developed small bowel obstruction andtreated by laparotomy & enterolysis but showed no evidence of stricture. we had adiagnostic and management challenge which will be discussed along with...

The Kock continent ileostomy (KCI) was designed by Nik Kock, who used an intussuscepted ileostomy loop to create a nipple valve (●" Fig.1) that would not leak and would allow ileal effluent to be evacuated with a catheter [1]. Enterolith formation is a rarely reported long-term complication of KCI that can lead to disabling symptoms mandating treatment [2–4]. We report the case of a 65-year-old...
