Abstract

Laparoscopy is a common and important technique in gynecology, oncology and general surgery. At first laparoscopy was used only as a diagnostic tool, but today it is also used for operations. We describe our experience with laparoscopies in 1155 patients, 923 of which were operative and 232 for diagnosis. Complications included: herniation (2 cases), subcutaneous hematoma (16), wound infection (6) and serous discharge (2). The laparoscopic technique is highly successful and efficient for both diagnosis and surgery. The complication rate is lower, hospitalization and recovery times shorter, and the cosmetic results are excellent.

[Intrapulmonary hematoma diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging].

We report a case of intrapulmonary hematoma in which magnetic resonance imaging was useful in establishing the diagnosis. A 53-year-old man had bronchial asthma that was well controlled with inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate and salbutamol, and with oral theophylline. A spherical mass was found in the right lower lung field on a chest radiograph taken during a regular physical examination. A CT scan showed a well circumscribed spherical mass, which was attached to an intrapulmonary bullae. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-circumscribed mass in the superior segment of the right lower lobe. On a T1-weighted image the mass was hyperintense and had a higher-intensity rim. On a T2-weighted image the mass was hyperintense and had some hypointense areas. We therefore diagnosed intrapulmonary hematoma. Chest radiography 6 months later revealed a substantial decrease in the size of the mass, which supported the diagnosis. As in this case, intrapulmonary hematoma can be difficult to diagnose because of the lack of a history of injury and because of the slow regression. In this case, magnetic resonance imaging was useful in making the diagnosis.

Increasing irritability with sudden onset of flaccid weakness.

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH), is a rare and potentially fatal condition that responds favorably to early surgical intervention and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of spinal cord compression. There are few reported cases in children. We present a case of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma in an 18-month-old child and review the literature.
