    Mucosal Repair of Posterior Perforation of Duodenal Diverticulitis Using Roux Loop Duodenojejunostomy

    No full text
    Perforation of duodenal diverticulum is a rare occurrence but has a potentially fatal outcome. It is a difficult surgical problem because of delayed diagnosis and the attendant risk of duodenal fistula following primary repair. We present a case of posterior perforation of duodenal diverticulitis, diagnosed on computed tomography and successfully repaired with a Roux loop duodenojejunostomy. We also discuss the rare pathology, diagnosis and surgical options with special reference to this alternative form of mucosal repair

    Surgery for Retroperitoneal Sarcoma Requiring Major Vascular Resection and Reconstruction

    No full text
    Retroperitoneal sarcomas are characterized by a lack of early symptoms; the inevitable delay in diagnosis results in large sizes at presentation. The current standard of care for these tumours is complete oncological resection with microscopically negative margins. In a subset of these tumours, major vessels such as the inferior vena cava or aorta are involved and resection of these major vessels becomes necessary for complete oncological clearance. This paper describes a series of these tumours and demonstrates the feasibility of radical surgery and resection of major vessels with low morbidity
