Abstract

Under analysis there were 4227 case histories of patients operated upon in 1978-1987 for acute surgical diseases of the abdominal organs. It was found that diagnostic, tactical and technical medical errors had taken place in 24.8% of the cases at the hospital stage. In 113 dead patients errors responsible for the lethal outcome were found in 30% of the cases. For the period from 1987 to 1997 postoperative lethality from acute surgical diseases was substantially decreased due to the improvement of professional training of the surgeons, less amount of errors, using the present-day methods of treatment and surgery.

Lithopedion: a case report.

An 80-year-old Black, South African woman presented in the outpatient department with severe abdominal pain. Ultrasound examination revealed a large echogenic mass (20 x 20 cm) in the right upper quadrant. An abdominal x-ray demonstrated the skeleton of a fully developed extrauterine fetus. It is presumed from the patient's history that this fetus was present for at least 40 years. Radiography revealed a fetus shrouded in a mantle of calcification. The fetus was hyper-flexed with other signs of "intrauterine" death. Fetal dentition charts dated the fetus at 34 weeks, the epiphyses being obscured by extensive calcification. In addition to subcutaneous calcification there was extensive visceral and intracranial calcification.

Epiploic appendagitis: color Doppler sonographic findings.

The aim of this study was to analyze the color Doppler sonographic findings in primary epiploic appendagitis. Color Doppler sonographic findings of ten patients with primary epiploic appendagitis were reviewed. The following sonographic features were analyzed: identification of a mass adjacent to the colonic wall; identification of spotty color areas with arterial flow in this mass and detection of abnormalities of the colonic wall adjacent to the infiltrated fatty tissue. A well-delineated hyperechoic mass adjacent to the colonic wall was detected in each patient with sonography. No colonic wall abnormalities were observed nor color Doppler signal in and around the hyperechoic area. Absence of flow at color Doppler sonography is an additional feature of epiploic appendagitis.
