Management Of Internal Hernia In Neonates With Multiple Heart Diseases: A Case Report, Riana P. Tamba, Andi Wiradeni

The New Ropanasuri Journal of Surgery

Internal hernia is a rare clinical entity. In all cases, less than 1% found as the cause of intestinal obstruction. However, delayed treatment of internal hernia may lead to necrosis of the intestines. Neonates with congenital heart disease may be at increased risk of morbidity and mortality than another concurrent disease.

A male infant was delivered with a Cesarean section due to a congenital disorder of umbilical hernia, ventricular septal defect, and aortic transposition. The infant was born full-term with a 2,515 g birth weight and 3, 5, 7 APGAR score, positive ventilation, and intubation proceeded. Prostaglandin E1 10 mcg/kg/minute, …

Traditional ovariectomy techniques for heifers (e.g. colpotomy) have adverse effects ranging from hemorrhage to mortality. Electrosurgical bipolar vessel sealing devices offer a superior ligation of ovarian pedicle and associated structures. In ruminants, standing flank laparotomy has been used for abdominal visibility. We performed ovariectomy in 2 companion beef heifers via a unilateral flank approach, combined with electrosurgical ligation. Surgeries were performed in standing animals, under local anesthesia, with no observed short- or long-term adverse effects. This technique is worth considering for cases where the security of electrosurgical ligation combined with the accessibility of a flank laparotomy are desired. Additional research …
