An Adult Case of Idiopathic Intussusception with Ulcerative Colitis Open
症例は36歳の男性で，4年前より潰瘍性大腸炎（ulcerative colitis；以下，UCと略記）（全結腸型）で内服加療されていた．突然の腹痛を主訴に受診し，回盲部の腸重積症の診断で，緊急手術の方針とした．ステロイド，免疫抑制剤を内服中であり，腹腔鏡下に結腸右半切除術と一時的回腸人工肛門造設を施行した．重積先進部は盲腸で，特発性腸重積症であった．術後経過は問題なく，約5か月間の原疾患治療後に腹腔鏡補助下残存大腸全摘術を行い，以後UC再燃は見られていない．成人腸重積症は比…

Transverse Colon Perforation Due to Migrated Pancreatic Stent Open
症例は39歳の女性で，慢性膵炎に対して膵管ステントを他院で定期的に交換されていた．前日から出現した持続する腹痛を主訴に当院を受診し，腹部CTで膵管ステントが横行結腸を貫通し腹腔内へ穿破した汎発性腹膜炎と診断し，同日緊急手術を施行した．全身状態が安定していたため，まず腹腔鏡下に腹腔内を観察し，腹腔鏡手術で対応可能と判断して腹腔鏡下異物除去，穿孔部修復，洗浄ドレナージ術を施行し，術後10日目に軽快退院となった．慢性膵炎や膵石による膵管狭窄に対する内視鏡的治療ではプラスチック膵管…
