Abstract:

Proctitis cystica profunda is a benign disease of the rectal mucosa that can be mistaken for rectal carcinoma both grossly and microscopically. Symptoms may consist of blood or mucus in the stool, diarrhea, tenesmus, or rectal pain. The disease has never been reported in a paraplegic population before, but the proposed etiology makes this group seem to be at high risk. We report three cases in our paraplegic population and discuss the nature of the disease as well as its treatment.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Appendicitis

Appendicitis

Appendicitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the vermiform appendix, most commonly caused by obstruction of its lumen. The appendix is a narrow, blind-ended pouch that extends from the cecum, making it particularly prone to obstruction. Causes include fecaliths, lymphoid hyperplasia (often after viral infections), parasites, tumors, or foreign bodies. This obstruction initiates a cascade of pathological changes.Luminal Obstruction and Early InflammationAfter obstruction, normal mucosal...
