Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

178
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:

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

318
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...

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus01:25

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

300
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,...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

495
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 I: Ulcerative Colitis

233
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...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

132
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...

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Mpox is a zoonotic viral illness caused by the orthopoxvirus.
  • Severe mpox infections are increasingly reported globally.
  • Immunocompromised individuals may experience severe disease presentations.

Observation:

  • A 44-year-old male kidney transplant recipient with HIV presented with mpox.
  • The patient developed proctitis-associated bowel obstruction.
  • Additional complications included urinary retention and significant eosinophilia.

Findings:

  • This case demonstrates severe gastrointestinal manifestations of mpox.
  • The patient's presentation underscores the potential for multi-organ involvement.
  • Eosinophilia was noted as a potential indicator in severe mpox.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider gastrointestinal complications in severe mpox cases, especially in immunocompromised patients.
  • Early recognition and management of mpox complications are crucial.
  • Further research is needed to understand the pathogenesis of severe mpox and its gastrointestinal sequelae.
