Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis01:27

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis

1.4K
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

891
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

1.5K
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Appendicitis-I: Introduction01:22

Appendicitis-I: Introduction

3.3K
The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

818
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:

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus01:25

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

1.7K
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.
Rectal Inspection
Begin by inspecting the perianal and anal areas for color, texture, rashes,...

    Summary

    Fecalith, a rare cause of bowel obstruction, can mimic other conditions like sigmoid volvulus. This case highlights a successful surgical retrieval of a fecalith from the ileum, emphasizing accurate diagnosis through thorough patient evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Small bowel obstruction is a frequent surgical admission.
    • Fecaliths are an uncommon etiology for intestinal obstruction.

    Observation:

    • A 65-year-old female presented with sub-acute intestinal obstruction.
    • Initial diagnosis suggested sigmoid volvulus.

    Findings:

    • Exploratory laparotomy revealed an ileal fecalith.
    • The fecalith was successfully removed via enterotomy with primary closure.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of comprehensive patient history and diagnostic workup.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of rare causes of bowel obstruction.
