Poststerilization tubal torsion.
Four cases of torsion of the fallopian tube following sterilization are reported. This is a rare complication that may occur two to eight years after tubal ligation. It is more likely to occur after Pomeroy's, Irving's or the Viennese school technique of sterilization, in which the free distal segment of the fallopian tube is suspended by a narrow mesentery. Hydrosalpinx, which is common after sterilization, seems to predispose to torsion.
Leiomyoma of Meckel's diverticulum associated with adenocarcinoma of the descending colon.
A case of leiomyoma of Meckel's diverticulum associated with a carcinoma of the descending colon, presenting with intestinal obstruction, is described. Only two cases of smooth muscle tumors of the small intestine associated with carcinoma of the large bowel have been described so far, and ours is probably the first case of its kind to be reported. The importance of angiography and a through intraoperative exploration is stressed.
