Textiloma is found intraluminally due to an inflammatory process that causes necrosis and progressive passage of the material through the digestive tract wall. It can be found anywhere along the digestive tract, from the stomach to the colon. The symptoms are not very specific and vary from transit disorders to intestinal obstruction. Morphological examination is frequently used to make a diagnosis. The treatment depends on the locasation and consists of textiloma extraction. We present two (2) clinical aspects of postoperative digestive intraluminal migration of an abdominal field following digestive surgery in this study. The extremely rare nature of these two cases, as well as the diagnostic errors and management methods of this postoperative complication, prompt us to discuss them.","PeriodicalId":446681,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Medicine and Surgery","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125659727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multimodal therapeutic management consisted of mastectomy followed by adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy, radiotherapy and/or hormone therapy depending on the stage of the tumor and histological characteristics.

Results: We had 170 patients operated for an abdominal emergency (8.37%), with a male predominance (61.50%) and a sex ratio of 1.59. The average age was 36.08 years with a standard deviation of 17.46 and extremes of 2 to 79 years. Non-traumatic abdominal emergencies dominated with 96.47%. Abdominal ultrasound was performed in 92.35% (n=157) of patients and abdominal CT scan in 35.88% (n=61). General anesthesia was performed in 97.06% of cases (n=165). The approaches were laparotomy in 72.35% (n=123) and laparoscopy in 27.65% (n=47).
