Abstract:
Cecal volvulus is a rare and life-threatening cause of intestinal obstruction with multiple risk factors including prior abdominal surgery and cecal hypermobility. Although its incidence has been reported after common procedures such as cholecystectomy and appendectomy, it has not been well studied after laparoscopy, especially in gynecological surgeries. If untreated, a cecal volvulus can result in serious complications such as intestinal strangulation, necrosis, or perforation. Therefore, early identification of risk factors and intervention is important in prevention of these sequelae. Here, we report a case of cecal volvulus in a patient with endometrial carcinoma after a staging robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy and the risk factors that may have led to her complication.
摘要:
盲肠扭转是肠梗阻的罕见且危及生命的原因,具有多种危险因素,包括先前的腹部手术和盲肠活动过度。尽管在胆囊切除术和阑尾切除术等常见手术后已报道其发病率,腹腔镜检查后没有得到很好的研究,尤其是在妇科手术中。如果未经治疗,盲肠扭转可导致严重的并发症,如肠绞窄,坏死,或穿孔。因此,早期识别危险因素和干预对预防这些后遗症很重要。这里,我们报道了1例子宫内膜癌患者行分期机器人辅助腹腔镜子宫切除术后发生盲肠扭转的病例,以及可能导致其并发症的危险因素.
