THE USE OF ARGENTUM-QUARTZ SOLUTION IN PRIMARY OR RECURRENT PERIANAL FISTULAS: FIRST EXPERIENCE ON THREE CASES
Primary perianal fistulous pathology represents a painful condition often noticeable in patients affected by Crohn's disease or Ulcerative colitis. It causes difficult defecation and can evolve in perianal abscess that should be urgently ascertained and drained. The present work aims to propose Argentum-Quartz® as valid non-surgical therapeutic treatment in order to reach a more comfortable perianal fistula healing. In fact, our preliminary data allow us to consider Argentum Quartz® ideally employable for treatment of perianal fistulas associated or not with IBDs, representing a reliable sphincter-sparing solution.
Pseudocisti pancreatiche infette: Note di tecnica
Introduction. Starting from the observation of 9 cases of giant infected pancreatic cysts, which occurred from 1994 to 2004 at the Department of Oncological and Surgical Studies, the Authors' aim has been to evaluate whether a more thorough necrosectomy, carried-out under videoendoscopic control, associated with a nose-gastro-cavity tube, which ensures a continuous cleansing of the newly-formed cavity, and an appropriate positioning of the drainages, could reduce the morbility and allow a shorter recovery of the infected psuodocysts. Patients and methods. Of 73 cases of acute pancreatitis, observed from 1994 to 2004, 9 showed severe and acute pancreatitis, which included giant pseudocysts, …
THE SAXOPHONIST'S HERNIA: A RARE CASEREPORT OF ANTERIOR PRIMARY PERINEAL HERNIA IN A YOUNG MALE PATIENT.
Perineal hernia is the protrusion of an intra-abdominal structure into the perineal area, that could be primitive or secondary to trauma or abdominoperineal resection. Main treatment could be transabdominal, transperineal or combined. Here is a rare case of anterior perineal hernia in a young saxophone male patient, treated with a mininvasive perineal approach. A 25-year-old Caucasian male patient referred 1-year history of perineal pain. The pain was more severe when he played his saxophone. Local exam was negative but a dynamic perineal ultrasonography revealed a small anterior perineal hernia. The defect was repaired with a polypropylene plug and the patient was discharged the day after.…
