Double Invagination Ileo Coeco Colic due to a Carcinoma of the Right Colon about a Case

Colonic intussusception on carcinoma is rare. We report the case of an ileo-coeco-colic invagination on carcinoma of the right colon that occurred in a 40-year-old patient. The clinical symptomatology had a tendency to tumoral pathology of the colon. The ultrasound performed revealed acute intussusception. During the operation, we found an ileoceco-colic intussusception. A right hemicolectomy was performed. Anatomopathological examination of the operative specimen confirmed the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: Intussusception is uncommon in adults, and is often indicative of an organic barrier to colon. His symptomatology is not very specific. Ultrasound and abdominal computed tomography help in the diagnosis. Surgical excision followed by anatomopathological examination of the operative specimen allows the diagnosis to be made histologically.

Comparative Study between Cholecystectomy in Sickle Cell Patients and Non-Sickle Cell Patients

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard in the treatment of gallstones and lithiasis cholecystitis. It reduces post-operative complications especially in sickle cell patients. Aim: The aim of this work was to compare the results of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in sickle cell and non-sickle cell patients. Methods: Sixty-six patients including 25 sickle cell patients and 41 non-sickle cell patients were identified from March 2013 to November 2014 (20 months). The χ2 test was used for comparisons. Values of p < 0.05 were used for a statistically significant difference threshold. Results: The mean age was 25.76 years for the sickle cell group and 45.61 years for the non-sickle cell group (p = 0.00008). There were 14/25 female patients in the sickle cell group and 28/41 in the non-sickle cell group. In per op, the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis was retained for 4/25 sickle cell patients and for 10/41 non-sickle cell patients. Diagnoses such as pyocholecyst (2 cases), porcelain vesicle (2 cases), hydrocholecyst (2 cases) were found in the group of non-sickle cell patients. Operative difficulties such as tight perivicular adhesions were encountered 9/25 times in the sickle cell group and 11/41 times in the non-sickle cell group. The average overall operative time was 55 min. There was no statistically significant difference between the different groups in mean operative time, occurrence of postoperative complication and average length of hospital stay. The mortality is not statistically different according to the group of patients. Conclusion: There is no significant difference between the cholecystectomy performed in sickle cell patients and that performed in non-sickle cell patients. The multidisciplinary perioperative management of sickle cell patients reduces the risk of complications arising from this pathology.

Splenectomy in the Surgery Department “A” at the University Hospital Point G Bamako

We conducted a retrospective study that included patients with erythrocyte and hemolytic pathology justifying a splenectomy and patients presenting splenic trauma for which hemostasis splenectomy is required. We performed 27 total splenectomy in which 26 are by laparotomy (92.86%) and 1 by laparoscopy (3.57%). A partial splenectomy was performed by laparoscopy. The morbidity was marked by 2 cases of infectious syndrome and 1 case severe anemia. The mortality was 7.14% (n = 2). Splenectomy is part of the therapeutic arsenal for benign or malignant hematological disorders that constitute the main indication for elective splenectomy. Splenectomy was one of the most common operations in abdominal surgery. During the past decade, an increased rate of late complications, specially septic and thromboembolic complications are well documented. The risk is related to the indication of splenectomy, and is less than 1% in adults without immunodeficiency. However, these overwhelming postsplenectomy infections are associated with a high mortality rate. The best treatment of these infections is preventive measures which are based on vaccination and education of asplenic patients.

Surgical Treatment of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Surgery B of Chu of Point G

Purpose: To describe the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of secondary hyperparathyroidism inrenal failure chronic. Patients and methods: We collected 11 cases of hyperparathyroidism secondary to renal failure terminal operated in the Service of surgery B of the Central Hospital University of Point G between December 2016 and November 2018. Results: The sex ratio was 0.22 in favor of women. The average age of the patients was 43 or 27 years with extremes of 63 and 25 years. Secondary hyperparathyroidism in renal failure chronic represented 1.9% of interventions to cold in the Service of surgery B. 100% of patients (11/11) were haemodialysis. 100% of the patients had clinical and biological signs. 45.5% (5/11) had radiological signs. The average rate of parathyroid hormone was 2413.51 pg/ml with extremes of 1264 pg/ml and 3616 pg/ml. The reference value was 15 - 65 pg/ml. The surgical technique of choice was the 7/8th parathyroidectomy in 100% of cases. The postoperative were simple in 81.8%, and complicated in 18.2%. There were no death. The average duration of postoperative follow-up was 6 months. After surgery, 50% of patients (5/10) had normal levels of parathyroid hormone and 50% (5/10) made a persistent hyperparathyroidism. Conclusion: Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a frequent complication in renal insufficient chronic in hemodialysis. Surgery is indicated in the resistant cases of medical treatment. The 7/8th parathyroidectomy is the surgical technique of choice. The rate of post operative complications is higher in our context.

Voluminous Goiters in Surgery B of Chu of Point G: Diagnostic Aspects

Purpose: To describe the aspects of the positive diagnosis of large goiters. Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective and prospective study including 115 patients from January, 2009 till December, 2014 (6 years) in Central Hospital of University of Point G in Bamako (Mali). The diagnosis of large goiters was based on the measurements of the anterior neck swelling. Thus large goiter was defined as any goiter including the height or width was greater than or equal to 10 cm (centimeters). Results: We operated 115 cases of large goiters on 760 goiters operated either 15.1%. The average age of patients was 44, 43 years ±14, 3 with extremes of 9 and 80 years. There was 101 women (87.8%) and 14 men (12.2%) with a sex ratio of 7.2 in favor of women. The signs of compression were dyspnea in 40% of cases (46/115), dysphonia in 13.0% (15/115), and dysphagia in 8.6% (10/115). The average height of goiter was 12.1 cm ± 3.5 cm with extremes of 10 and 29 cm and the average width was 14.4 cm ± 5.4 cm with extremes of 10 and 32 cm. Thyroid ultrasound found large goiters multinodular in 100%. Cervical radiography found the tracheal deviation in 48.2% (42/87), tracheal compression in 20.6% (18/87), plunging goiters in 11.5% (10/87). Cytology found a benign goiter in 97.4% of cases (112/115), malignant (thyroid cancer) in 2.6% of cases (3/115). Conclusion: Diagnosis of large goiters was based on the measurement of the swelling in our context. The signs of compression are the severity of this condition.

Perforations of Gastro-Duodenal Ulcers in the Surgery Department “A” at the University Hospital Point G Bamako

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical and therapeutic aspects of peritonitis by perforation of gastric and duodenal ulcer. This was a retrospective and descriptive study over 8 years (2010-2018) which allowed to collect 54 cases of peptic ulcer. Included in the study were all patients with confirmed gastroduodenal perforation on histology or laparotomy. We collected 54 cases of peptic ulcer perforated s. The age group of 30 - 49 years was the majority. The male sex was dominant with 90.7% of cases;the clinical picture was dominated by abdominal contracture associated with pain in 74.07% of cases. X-ray of the abdomen without preparation (AWP) revealed in 87.03% of cases of pneumoperitoneum. The perforation was in 68.52% of cases on the gastric antrum and in 31.48% on the duodenum. The surgical procedure used was the bank of excision, and a suture reinforcement epiploic in 68.52% of cases, a simple suture made in 31.48% of cases, the disease was marked by a fistula (1.90%) and mortality was 5.55% of cases. The gastroduodenal ulcer perforation is potentially serious and responsible peritonitis whose surgical treatment involves the peritoneal toilet and sutures the puncture.

The Lithiasis of Choledoque: Epidemiological Aspects, Clinics and Therapeutiques in the Surgery Department “A” at the University Hospital Point G

Considered as rare in Africa lithiasis of the main bile duct (MBD) is a potentially serious pathology, diagnosis is facilitated by imaging tests (ultra-sound, CT, MRI cholangiopancreatography). Its surgical management is improved by laparoscopy coupled with interventional endoscopy. However, laparotomy remains the only way in Mali. This was a 14-years retrospective and descriptive study (2010-2014). All patients with BPV lithiasis were included. We studied the field, antecedents, clinical, biological, radiological, therapeutic and outcome aspects. 40 cases of stones in the main bile duct were collected during the study period. The hospital frequency was 2.8 cases per year, the clinical signs dominated by the Charcot triad (pain, fever, jaundice) found in 40 cases (100%). The average age was 60 years, female represented 70% of cases. Ultrasonography was the most requested review in 40 cases (100%). The procedure performed was cholecystectomy associated with choledochotomy with calculation extraction in all patients (100% of cases). One case of biliary fistula and one case of wall abscess were observed. The mortality was 5% and the simple suited in 90% of the cases. The lithiasis of the main bile duct is an infrequent pathology in Mali and potentially serious. This diagnosis is assisted in our context by ultrasound and CT. Laparotomy remains the only route of entry in Mali.

Uterus Bicorne Cervical United: A Case of Pregnancy after Uterine Plasty (Review of the Literature)

The uterus bicorne is a uterine malformation whose pathophysiology is known but the etiology remains obscure. Few studies have been interested in this subject. This is the clinical observation of Mrs. X 26-year-old housewife nulliparous who consulted for repeated late spontaneous abortions. The clinical examination was normal. The ultrasound revealed a double uterine cavity in Y, in favor of a unicervical bicorne uterus. At hysterosalpingography, the tubes were permeable and the uterus doubled with a single cervix. The treatment consisted of a uterine plasty. The postoperative course was simple. The patient gave birth to a newborn male 20 months after surgery.
