Abstract

The incidence, pathogenesis, symptoms, roentgenographic, and endoscopic findings of patients with gastric outlet obstruction from a chronic duodenal ulcer have been reviewed. In the experience of many surgeons, including myself, vagotomy and an adequate drainage procedure (Finney pyloroplasty, gastrojejunostomy, or gastroduodenostomy) provide excellent decompression of the obstructed stomach. as well as excellent control of the ulcer disease in most patients. Postvagotomy gastric atony has not been a problem.

Management of catastrophic neonatal midgut volvulus with a silo and second-look laparotomy.

The case of a neonate with midgut volvulus and severe intestinal ischemia extending from the ligament of Treitz to the midtransverse colon is presented. Management consisted of abdominal silo application at the initial exploration to obviate the adverse physiological consequences of increased intraabdominal pressure from reperfusion edema of the intestine. The majority of the intestine was salvaged, and a short segment of ileum was resected. This method of treatment resulted in optimal ventilatory status, renal function, and cardiac performance. The advantages of temporary prosthetic wound coverage in selected cases of midgut volvulus include greater physiologic stability through the avoidance of "intraabdominal hypertension" and the ability to monitor the status of the intestine at the bedside.

Partial situs inversus: duodenal obstruction in a neonate with isolated levocardia.

An unusual case of duodenal obstruction in an infant with isolated levocardia is described. The following anatomic features were shown preoperatively: (1) duodenal obstruction; (2) right-sided stomach and spleen; (3) left-sided liver; (4) totally right-sided located colon in mirror image nonrotation; and (5) levocardia without any defect or dysfunction. The mentioned findings were verified intraoperatively and the cause of the duodenal obstruction was found to be an aberrant vessel. This case is a rare one regarding the lack of heart and spleen defects and the cause of duodenal obstruction. It also demonstrates the necessity of meticulous investigation and precise description of the anomaly and suggests individualization as far as the management of these cases is concerned.
