Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

798
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:

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

948
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Esophageal Strictures-II: Clinical Features and Management

841
Patients with esophageal strictures often experience a range of symptoms. Initially, they may have difficulty swallowing solid foods, which can progress to include liquids. Additional symptoms may involve chest pain or discomfort, regurgitating food and fluids, heartburn, unintentional weight loss, coughing or choking during meals, and hoarseness.
Healthcare providers should gather a comprehensive medical history and conduct a physical examination for diagnosis. If esophageal stricture is...

    Summary

    Adult intussusception is rare and challenging to diagnose due to non-specific symptoms. Imaging, particularly CT scans, aids in diagnosis, with surgery often required for management.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Adult intussusception is an uncommon condition distinct from pediatric cases in presentation and cause.
    • Diagnosis is often delayed due to nonspecific symptoms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To comprehensively review the clinical presentation, etiology, diagnosis, and management of adult intussusception.
    • To highlight the role of modern imaging and endoscopic techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 43 adult cases with preoperative diagnosis of symptomatic gastrointestinal intussusception.
    • Analysis of diagnostic imaging (CT) and endoscopic (colonoscopy) findings.
    • Evaluation of treatment outcomes, including surgical intervention rates.

    Main Results:

    • A lead point was identified in 67% of cases; enteric intussusception (65%) was most common, often benign or idiopathic.
    • Malignancy was found in 50% of colonic intussusception cases.
    • CT scan demonstrated 94% sensitivity; colonoscopy achieved 89% accuracy for colonic lead points. Surgery was performed in 72% of cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Adult intussusception diagnosis is challenging; advanced imaging improves preoperative accuracy.
    • A high suspicion for malignancy is warranted with colonic intussusception, where colonoscopy is valuable.
    • Management requires a tailored approach, frequently involving surgical intervention.
