Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

139
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

72
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...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

216
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...

Histology of the Small Intestine01:27

Histology of the Small Intestine

711
The small intestine exhibits a unique histological structure that significantly enhances its function in digestion and nutrient absorption. These structures include circular folds, villi, and various specialized cells that collectively facilitate the digestion of food.
The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...

Summary

Intussusception, or telescoping of the bowel, is rare in adults. This case highlights small bowel lipoma as a key cause of adult small bowel intussusception, emphasizing diagnostic vigilance.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Intussusception, the telescoping of bowel, is a common cause of obstruction in children but rare in adults.
  • Adult intussusception typically involves a pathological lead point and presents with non-specific symptoms, complicating diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 57-year-old female presented with small bowel intussusception (SBI).
  • The intussusception was found to be secondary to a small bowel lipoma (SBL).

Findings:

  • Small bowel intussusception in adults is often secondary to underlying structural lesions.
  • Small bowel lipomas are an important, though uncommon, cause of adult SBI.

Implications:

  • Increased clinical suspicion for SBI in adults is crucial, especially when symptoms are non-specific.
  • Small bowel lipomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis for adult small bowel intussusception to ensure timely diagnosis and management.
