[Duodenal stenosis secondary to tuberculosis. Case presentation and review of the literature].

Infections caused by tuberculosis reached epidemic dimensions in the middle of the last century. Unexpectedly in the present, a growing number of new cases has been detected each year, reaching alarming figures, according to the World Health Organization. One of the most infrequent manifestations is intestinal tuberculosis, specially the one that affects duodenum and as a complication, stenosis. Its diagnosis is difficult because of similarity of this pathology with other gastrointestinal dysfunctions. Medical and surgical treatments have been proposed to afford a solution to this pathology. Due to its rareness, and the diagnostic difficulty and controversy in its treatment, we present the case of a patient diagnosed with duodenal stenosis caused by tuberculosis who was treated at the Gastrointestinal Surgery Service in our hospital.

[Adrenal gland lymphangiomas. A case report].

Adrenal gland lymphangiomas are benign, non-functional, and uncommon tumors of lymphatic tissue and with a cyst component. The majority of these are asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally. We present the case of an adrenal gland lymphangioma in a 24-year-old female with a history of high blood pressure, headaches, and anxiety of nearly 2 years in whom a routine ultrasound exam revealed a cyst tumor of right adrenal gland confirmed by computer tomography (CT) scan. Surgery was performed and lymphangioma of adrenal gland was the pathologist's report. The patient's clinical symptoms disappeared.

[Appendiceal stump appendicitis. Case report].

Acute appendicitis is still the first cause of abdominal surgery worldwide, with 1.4 cases/1000 in the general population. As frequent as this is, appendiceal stump appendicitis is a very rare surgical event, due to an incomplete appendix resection and misleading cecum base identification due to cecum edema, abscesses, abnormal anatomy position of the appendix or multiple adhesions. The incidence of appendiceal stump appendicitis is not well known; however, there are some reports that suggest a slight increase in this pathology possibly due to laparoscopic surgical techniques. This report attempts to point out this diagnostic possibility to be considered by the surgeon when presented with a patient with acute abdominal pain and a past appendectomy.

[Use of vacuum-assisted closure in the treatment of surgical infection sites].

Surgical site infection is one of the most important health problems representing an increase in morbi-mortality and economical devastation for the patient. There have been a variety of procedures that surgeons have employed to control this situation, from very refined surgical procedures, advanced antimicrobial therapy to local therapy with alginates, hydrocolloid dressings and many others with active topical substances. One of the newest treatments is the VAC (Vacuum-Assisted Closure). This therapy has been proven to be useful in wound infection control and we used it to carry out this study in 38 patients with wound infections. We present the results with this therapy in our institution.
