A rare complication of diverticular disease is the formation of fistulas, most commonly either colo-vesical or colo-vaginal. We present the unusual case of a perforated sigmoid diverticulum forming a colo-gluteal fistula and presenting initially as a gluteal abscess in an otherwise asymptomatic patient. After drainage of the gluteal abscess, the patient re-presented with faecal loss from the ab...

INTRODUCTION Cholesterol granulomas (CGs) are rare benign cystic lesions containing cholesterol crystals in a gluelike fluid and are frequently found in the petrous apex (PA) and in the nearby anatomical area. The gold standard treatment of PA CG counts on its surgical drainage and ventilation to prevent recurrence. Different surgical approaches have been described in the past to achieve draina...

We report two similar thoracoabdominal complications we encountered due to retained gallstones after cholecystectomy. These patients had had an open cholecystectomy after a failed laparoscopic attempt, with spillage of gallbladder debris intraoperatively. They were admitted more than 12 months later with subdiaphragmatic abscesses. Attempted computerized axial tomography (CT) guided drainage of...

UNLABELLED In 95 children (age 6-18 y) treated for gallstones between 2002-2010, 95 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were carried out. Symptomatic cholecystolithiasis was the indication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in most of the cases. In three patients, there was a conversion to open cholecystectomy. Postoperative complications due to failure of bile drainage arose in three patients. Restor...
