Traumatic <strong>in</strong>juries of the pancreas: a rare event and a diagnostic challenge but are associated with<br />
good long-term prognosis<br />
C. Kim-Fuchs, E. Angst, R. Kaderli, B. Gloor, D. Cand<strong>in</strong>as (Berne)<br />
Objective: Because of it‘s protected retroperitoneal location traumatic <strong>in</strong>juries of the pancreas are rare.<br />
Only 1-5% of the patients with blunt abdom<strong>in</strong>al trauma, and 8% of the patients with penetrat<strong>in</strong>g trauma<br />
acquire an <strong>in</strong>jury of the pancreas. Concurrent <strong>in</strong>juries are present <strong>in</strong> up to 70% of these patients, expla<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />
the delay <strong>in</strong> the diagnosis of a pancreatic <strong>in</strong>juries.<br />
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of our prospective trauma database between 2002<br />
- 2009. The primary diagnostic test was a CT scan. Pancreatic <strong>in</strong>juries were graded accord<strong>in</strong>g to the<br />
Moore classification. Patients were followed by questionnaire, abdom<strong>in</strong>al ultrasound and measurement<br />
of blood glucose and stool elastase.<br />
Results: There were 6 patients (4 male, 2 female) with a traumatic <strong>in</strong>jury of the pancreas, out of how<br />
2148 patients with possible abdom<strong>in</strong>al trauma at the emergency station. The median age was 28<br />
years (19-80). In one unclear case we performed an MRCP to visualize the ma<strong>in</strong> pancreatic duct. We<br />
found an even distribution of the <strong>in</strong>juries: grade I, III, IV and V: 1 patient each, grad II: 2 patients. 5 patients<br />
(83%) suffered concurrent <strong>in</strong>traabdom<strong>in</strong>al <strong>in</strong>juries, one patient <strong>in</strong>curred concurrent rib fractures.<br />
We found 5 blunt abdom<strong>in</strong>al traumata caused by the follow<strong>in</strong>g accidents: 2 horseback rid<strong>in</strong>g with<br />
hoof kick, one ski<strong>in</strong>g, one traffic crash and one scooter, as well as 1 penetrat<strong>in</strong>g abdom<strong>in</strong>al trauma.<br />
Three patients were treated by <strong>in</strong>terventional dra<strong>in</strong> placement, 2 were treated by a left resection of the<br />
pancreas and 1 by direct suture of the pancreas. One patient developed a pseudocyst, 2 patients developed<br />
a pancreatic fistula Grade A and B; all healed spontaneously. The mean time <strong>in</strong> hospital was 18<br />
days (10-47). The median follow up was 56 months (1-98) with 1 lost patient due to mov<strong>in</strong>g abroad.<br />
There were no exocr<strong>in</strong>e pancreatic <strong>in</strong>sufficiency, nor diabetes.<br />
Conclusion: Traumatic <strong>in</strong>juries of the pancreas are rare and should be sought actively <strong>in</strong> blunt and<br />
penetrat<strong>in</strong>g abdom<strong>in</strong>al trauma. Although they affect young patients and result <strong>in</strong> prolonged hospitalization<br />
the long-term prognosis is good with a normal exocr<strong>in</strong>e and endocr<strong>in</strong>e function of the pancreas.<br />

Femoralhernie durch die Lacuna musculorum nach Lichtenste<strong>in</strong>-Plastik - Fallpräsentation<br />
H. J. Larusson, R. Jori, M. Zuber (Olten)<br />
Objective: E<strong>in</strong> 77 jähriger Mann stellt sich e<strong>in</strong> Jahr nach Lichtenste<strong>in</strong>plastik vor mit e<strong>in</strong>er Femoralhernie<br />
auf derselben Seite. Die Femoralhernie tritt lateral der Femoralgefässe durch die Lacuna musculorum.<br />
Diese Form der Femoralhernie wird <strong>in</strong> der Literatur sehr selten beschrieben.<br />
Methods: Der Patient ist beschwerdefrei nach Hemikolektomie rechts 1996 bei Perforation des Colon<br />
ascendens. E<strong>in</strong>e symptomatische Leistenhernie rechts wird 12/2008 mit e<strong>in</strong>em Vypro II-Netz nach<br />
Lichtenste<strong>in</strong> vers<strong>org</strong>t. 6 Monate postoperativ bekommt er erneut belastungsabhängige Schmerzen <strong>in</strong><br />
der Leistengegend und es entwickelt sich e<strong>in</strong>e reponible Raumforderung am proximalen Oberschenkel.<br />
Im Liegen ist e<strong>in</strong>e ca 7x10cm grosse weiche Raumforderung unterhalb des Leistenbandes am<br />
proximalen Oberschenkel lateral tastbar. Die Raumforderung ist gut reponibel und im Stehen nicht<br />
provozierbar. Medial der Femoralgefässe und im Leistenkanal ist ke<strong>in</strong>e Hernie palpabel.<br />
Results: Die Revision erfolgt laparoskopisch. Intraoperativ zeigt sich e<strong>in</strong>e Femoralhernie durch die<br />
Lacuna musculorum. Der hernierte Dünndarm wird problemlos reponiert, der Bruchsack kann nicht<br />
lysiert werden. Die Lücke wird mit TiCron EKN verschlossen und mit e<strong>in</strong>em beschichteten Parietex-Netz<br />
von 15 cm DM verstärkt. Der Patient wird nach komplikationslosem Verlauf am 2. Tag postoperativ<br />
nach Hause entlassen. Anlässlich der kl<strong>in</strong>ischen Kontrolle 6 Wochen postoperativ f<strong>in</strong>det sich ke<strong>in</strong> Rezidiv<br />
und der Patient ist asymptomatisch.<br />
Conclusion: Weniger als 10% aller Leistenhernien s<strong>in</strong>d Femoralhernien und <strong>in</strong> 3 von 4 Fällen s<strong>in</strong>d<br />
Frauen betroffen. Kaum bekannt ist die Unterteilung der Femoralhernien <strong>in</strong> 6 Typen, von denen die<br />
Femoralhernie medial der Gefässe weitaus am häufigsten ist. E<strong>in</strong>e laterale Femoralhernie ist äusserst<br />
selten und der letzte Fall wurde 1971 publiziert. Als Ursache wurde die traumatische Muskelatrophie<br />
der Hüftmuskeln diskutiert. In unserem Fall kennen wir den Auslöser nicht. Es kann se<strong>in</strong>, dass der<br />
Defekt schon vor der Hernienoperation bestanden hat, verursacht durch die Hemikolektomie rechts.<br />
Wahrsche<strong>in</strong>licher ist, dass durch die Lichtenste<strong>in</strong>plastik die Verb<strong>in</strong>dung des Leistenbandes zur Faszie<br />
des Musculus iliopsoas verletzt worden ist und dadurch die Hernie durch die Lacuna musculorum<br />
entstehen konnte. Dagegen spricht die Seltenheit der lateralen Femoralhernie im Verhältnis zur Häufigkeit<br />
der Lichtenste<strong>in</strong>plastik.<br />

Rechargeable neurostimulator for pudendal nerve stimulation <strong>in</strong> faecal <strong>in</strong>cont<strong>in</strong>ence – a case report<br />
K. Wolff, C. G<strong>in</strong>gert, M. Adam<strong>in</strong>a, L. Marti, J. Lange, F. H. Hetzer (St. Gallen)<br />
Objective: Pudendal Nerve Stimulation (PNS) has been recently tested <strong>in</strong> patients after failed Sacral<br />
Nerve Stimulation (SNS) and showed very satisfy<strong>in</strong>g results. Both SNS and PNS use the same neurostimulator<br />
for permanent stimulation. The battery life expectation of such devices varies between 4 and 7<br />
years. Hence, frequent batteries exchanges may be required. Interest<strong>in</strong>gly, an <strong>in</strong>novative neurostimulator<br />
with rechargeable capacity by <strong>in</strong>duction has been developed, which saves the burden of battery<br />
exchange. We tested this new device for the first time <strong>in</strong> a cl<strong>in</strong>ical sett<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Methods: A 36 year-old female presented <strong>in</strong> our cl<strong>in</strong>ic with a severe faecal and ur<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong>cont<strong>in</strong>ence (Wexner<br />
Score 12) follow<strong>in</strong>g resection of a destructive giant cell tumour of the sacrum <strong>in</strong> 2007. S<strong>in</strong>ce 2008,<br />
she compla<strong>in</strong>ed of a progressive comb<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong>cont<strong>in</strong>ence for ur<strong>in</strong>e and stool, and failed conservative<br />
treatment. Successfully, PNS was evaluated <strong>in</strong> a two-stage procedure. A rechargeable neurostimualor<br />
(Restore Ultra NeurostimulatorTM, Medtronic) was implanted. The patient was seen <strong>in</strong> our outpatient<br />
cl<strong>in</strong>ic after one and three months.<br />
Results: The neurostimulator could successfully be recharged by <strong>in</strong>duction. The median charge time was<br />
8 hours, or overnight. A full charge then lasted for 3 weeks. Successful bilateral stimulation (left pudendal<br />
1.1 V, right pudendal 1.7 V; 15Hz; 210 μs) was performed and translated <strong>in</strong> a complete normalization of<br />
the Wexner score, while some ur<strong>in</strong>ary urge <strong>in</strong>cont<strong>in</strong>ence subsidized.<br />
Conclusion: The neurostimulor was successfully recharged by <strong>in</strong>duction, translat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a major cl<strong>in</strong>ical<br />
improvement. Induction charge seems to be a promis<strong>in</strong>g modality, although it requires careful patient<br />
selection, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the ability and motivation to perform regular charges <strong>in</strong>dependently.<br />

Acute ischemic colitis after endurance sport: a case report<br />
N. Horat, L. Giovannacci, R. Rosso (Lugano)<br />
Objective: Athletes practic<strong>in</strong>g sports with extreme efforts are often reported to compla<strong>in</strong> of gastro<strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>al<br />
symptoms like bloat<strong>in</strong>g, abdom<strong>in</strong>al cramps, epigastric pa<strong>in</strong>, nausea and diarrhea. Ischemic colitis is<br />
the most severe gastro<strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>al complication of endurance sport. We report a case of an athlete presentt<br />
<strong>in</strong>g with ischemic colitis after sport events.<br />
Methods: A 56 year old non professional athlete practis<strong>in</strong>g regularly cycl<strong>in</strong>g and weight lift<strong>in</strong>g at a high<br />
level went through a period of 4 days of hard tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g runn<strong>in</strong>g, cycl<strong>in</strong>g with distances of more<br />
than 75 Km a day and weight tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g for 2 hours per day. He presented himself <strong>in</strong> our emergency room<br />
compla<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g of abdom<strong>in</strong>al pa<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> the hypogastric region and the left lower quadrant with fresh rectal<br />
bleed<strong>in</strong>g. He reported twenty episodes of bloody diarrhea. The past medical history was uneventful except<br />
for an episode of acute diverticulitis with conservative treatment 7 years before. He did not present<br />
any cardiovascular risk factor. Physical exam<strong>in</strong>ation resulted <strong>in</strong> normal blood pressure and pulse with<br />
moderate tenderness at the left lower abdom<strong>in</strong>al quadrant and <strong>in</strong> the hypogastric region. Rectal exam<br />
confirmed the presence of fresh blood. Laboratory results were: haemoglob<strong>in</strong> 15.5g/dl, leukocyte 11,0<br />
x109/l, CRP 8 mg/l. CT scann<strong>in</strong>g revealed signs of ischemic colitis of the descend<strong>in</strong>g colon. Colonoscopy<br />
showed patchy haemorrhagic mucosal lesions, the histological exam confirmed the diagnosis.<br />
Results: The conservative treatment with fluids, bowel rest and pa<strong>in</strong> control was sufficient for the resolution<br />
of the symptoms, the patient was discharged 3 days after admission.<br />
Conclusion: The ischemic colitis is a relatively frequent pathology. Its aetiology can be haemodynamical<br />
or obstructive. The haemodynamical causes are related to a compromised mesenteric perfusion due to<br />
any type of shock, dehydration, drugs, extended physical efforts. Our patient was healthy. A duplex scan<br />
confirmed a normal mesenteric and aortic blood flow. Consider<strong>in</strong>g his past medical history, the cl<strong>in</strong>ical<br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ation and presence of no other factors predispos<strong>in</strong>g to ischemia, we assume a relationship<br />
between the patient‘s extended physical efforts and the ischemic colitis. The mechanism of this type of<br />
ischemia, wich seems to be rare, is related to a comb<strong>in</strong>ation of vasospasm, dehydration, hyperthermia<br />
and physical effort itself.<br />

Major liver resections without Pr<strong>in</strong>gle’s maneuver are feasible, safe and without major blood loss<br />
P. Abitabile, S. A. Käser, P. Glauser, D. Mattiello, C. A. Maurer (Liestal)<br />
Objective: Pr<strong>in</strong>gle’s maneuver is performed to reduce blood loss dur<strong>in</strong>g liver resections. However, this<br />
can lead to potentially irreversible cellular ischemia and lethal liver failure.<br />
Methods: From September 2002 to December 2009 96 consecutive major non-anatomical (specimens<br />
> 5 cm) and anatomical liver resections were performed <strong>in</strong> 70 patients for liver metastases (n=54),<br />
hepatocellular carc<strong>in</strong>oma (n=8), cholangiocellular carc<strong>in</strong>oma (n=10) and benign liver tumors (n=15).<br />
Volumetric calculation of the liver remnant preceded all anatomical resections. The degree of liver steatosis<br />
was assessed by rout<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong>traoperative liver biopsies. Data, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g functional liver tests, were<br />
collected prospectively. Water-jet dissection of liver parenchyma was used.<br />
Results: Fifty-five anatomical and 41 atypical liver resections were performed dur<strong>in</strong>g 84 operations. The<br />
age of the patients was median 59.5 y (range 16-81). Preoperative chemotherapy was used <strong>in</strong> 39%.<br />
Three patients (4%) showed liver cirrhosis. In 23 out of 96 liver resections liver steatosis was present with<br />
an extent of 12.5% (median) of liver tissue. Blood loss was median 500 ml (range 50-6000). Considerr <strong>in</strong>g only the anatomical resections, the median weight of the resected parenchyma was 548g (range<br />
109-1850). The median time spent <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>tensive care unit was 2 days (range 1-44), the median SAPS<br />
score was 26 (range 2-61). Highest postoperative values of the serum aspartate transam<strong>in</strong>ase was<br />
median 378 u/l (range 39-4201), of the serum alan<strong>in</strong>e transam<strong>in</strong>ase was median 393 u/l (range 43-<br />
2270), of the serum bilirub<strong>in</strong> was 23.7 umol/l (range 7.3-372) and of ammoniac was 38 umol/l (range<br />
1-115). Time spent <strong>in</strong> hospital was median 15 days (range 8-101). No mortality occurred. Biliary leakage<br />
(n=3) was treated conservatively. Liver failure only occurred <strong>in</strong> one patient suffer<strong>in</strong>g from portal ve<strong>in</strong><br />
thrombosis after right hemihepatectomy. However his liver function recovered completely after <strong>in</strong>terven-
