The aim of this study was to evaluate colonoscopyassisted pneumatic reduction(CAPR) of experimental colocolic intussusception(CCI). Twenty eight rabbits were divided into 2 groups each containing 14 rabbits: Group A and B. The animals were not fed orally 1 day before the experimental study and fed parenterally. After median line skin incision, abdominal wall was opened. Colocolic intussusception was performed. 100 ml/kg liquid electrolyte solution was given to all rabbits in postoperative period. Group A was observed for 2 days and Group B for 3 days. In Group A, the “currant jelly” stools were observed. Mean weights were 3.970±2.137 kg, reduction duration 3.97±2.47 minutes, air pressure 44.0±2.6 mmHg, and the success rate of reduction 100%. Perforation was not observed in this group. In Group B, the “currant jelly” stools were observed in 5 of 14 rabbits. Mean weights were 4.111±2.754 kg, reduction duration 4.01±1.71 minutes, air pressure 55.9±13.3 mmHg, and the success rate of reduction 93%. Perforation was observed in 1 rabbit in this group. The air pressure in group B was significantly higher than group A (p

Despite advanced diagnostic methods, diagnosis of small intestinal tumors is hard and they are generally detected at an advanced stage. These cancers may form emergency cases that need to be addressed surgically like bleeding, obstruction, and perforation or insidious abdominal pain and weight loss. We present our clinical experiences and the short term results of 29 patients with primary small intestinal tumors who had undergone emergency surgical procedures. The data of these 29 patients treated at our clinic between 2005 and 2011 were retrospectively evaluated. Study parameters included the patients’ demographic, clinical, radiological, and pathological characteristics. All the cases underwent emergency surgery. 16 of the patients were male, while 13 were female, and their mean age was 62 (35-80). Intestinal obstruction was detected in 19 of the cases, while perforation in 6, and mesenteric ischemia in 4. Tumors were located in the ileum in 14 patients, in the jejunum in 10, and in the duodenum in 5. The most frequent pathological diagnoses were GIST with 8 cases and adenocarcinoma with 8 cases. The most frequently performed surgical procedures were small intestinal resection and anastomosis. Four patients developed surgical site infection and three had anastomotic leaks in the post-op period. Mortality was seen in five patients in the early post-op period. Tumors of the small intestine are very rare. The findings are non-specific and advanced diagnostic methods are needed during the diagnostic process. They generally cause clinical conditions that necessitate emergency surgery. The timing of the treatment is a significant factor determining survival.

Intestinal intussusceptions are one of the causes of mechanical intestinal obstruction usually seen in childhood. Approximately 1-5% of invaginations seen in adults. While 90% of childhood cases are idiopathic, 90% of adult intussusceptions have an underlying organic lesion. We aimed to give information about intussusception cases in adults with 2 cases we present .

Aim: We aimed to evaluate surgical procedure carried out to an 8 years old child, clinically diagnosed as Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP), undergoing intussusception repair, because of allergic vasculitis, erythamatose maculopapuler rashes, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain and intussusception, under the light of literature data. Case Report: An eight years old and a male child was consultated because of his biliary vomiting, nausea and diffuse maculopapuler rushes which were localised especially in lower extremites. The symptoms of HSP were observed at histopathologic examination of skin. On examination, the symptoms of acute abdomen, which were characterised with diffuse tenderness and distansion, hipoactive intestinal sounds and abondant biliary drainage from nasogastric tube, were identified. The pneumatic and hydrostatic reductions were not performed because of the risk of perforation due to severe peritonitis and his poor general condition. The patient was operated on after preoperative resuscitation. During the explorative laparatomy, edema and the symptoms of insufficient vascularisation in all intestinum were present. Also, it was observed that approximately 20 cm’s intestinal segment which begins from 10 cm proximal of ileocaecal valve, had been necrotic and ileostomy was carried out after resecting this segment. Meanwhile, it was observed that the whole intestine was edematous and localised blood circulation was distorted in some areas. The patient was operated on to make bridectomy when evisceration and brid ileus occurred on postoperative eleventh day, and the ileostomy was closed at the same session. The patient was delivered with complete recovery 16 days after closing of ileostomy. Conclusion: Although HSP is rarely seen as the cause of acute abdomen, too serious complications of this disease must be kept in mind.

Aim: This study aimed to determine which of these parameters is effective in surgical decision making. Material and Method: The study population consisted of 87 patients, 56 (64%) male and 31 (36%) female [mean age, 8.18±1.25 years (±SD); range, 1 to 16 years], who were examined and investigated in our department. Two groups were studied: Operated group (O group) who underwent surgery and included 76 children and nonoperated group (NO group) who did not undergone surgery and included 11 children. In both groups age, gender, preoperative temperature, leukocyte count in blood and urine, the plain XRay film of the abdomen, abdominal ultrasonography (USG), nasogastric drenage (NGD), preoperative diagnosis and treatment were identified. Results: In preoperative period temperature were significantly high in only perforated appendicitis compared with other causes of abdominal pain (P=0.028). Gase-liquid level in perforated appendicitis and gase image in acute appendicitis were significantly high compared with other causes of abdominal pain in plain graphy (P=0.001). USG was rather significant in the differential diagnosis of intussuception and mesenteric lymphadenopathy compared with other causes of abdominal pain in this period (P=0.000). In addition, USG was found as a valuable parameter in surgical decision making. Leukocyte count in blood (P=0.346), the leucocyte in urine (P=0.131), NGD (P=0.205) were not significant in surgical making decision. Conclusion: It was shown that temperature were significantly high and gase-liquid level in the patients who are suspected to be perforated appendicitis of the patients who have abdominal pain in preoperative period. We may say that abdominal USG is effective especially in the differential diagnosis of intussuception and mesenter lymphadenitis to avoid unnecessary surgical procedures.

Invagination is the condition whereby a segment of intestine becomes drawn into the lumen of the proximal bowel. İnvagination in adults is a rare situation and the causes are different from childhood group. A 33 years old female patient admitted to emergency service with abdominal pain , nousea and vomiting. In ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography suspected from invagination so the patient was operated urgently.In operation a masswas palpated and segmental resection was applied. Post-operative 7 th day , the patient was discharged from hospital without any complication. In pathological evaluation well-differentiated adenocarcinoma was detected in all polyps. Although invagination is a rare condition in adult patients when suspected from invagination the possibility of malign tumor should be considered. According to this , wide segmental resection is advised.

Intussusception is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in childhood. 11 children with intussusception were retrospectively reviewed in the departmant of pediatric surgery in Selçuk Üniversity medical faculty. Age configuration, symptoms and signs were similar with the other reports, but most of the patients were girls (girl I boy:9/2) and (his made the difference. Besides intestine resection ratio was high and the patients presentations in hospital were lale. There is a relationship between resection ratio and the patients lale presentations. And this was related to the loss of time with the wrong diagnosis and treatment.
