A retrospective study on 14 patients with diagnosis and treatment of peritonitis in Viet Duc hospital from January /2000 to December/2004. Results: Most of them have unpredictable reason of intestinal perforation. There are three groups of reason after operation: break of small intestinal cancer (leiomyosarcoma, maglinant lymphoma), tuberculosis and inflammation without specific cause. Most cases were treated appropriately with peritonitis: stitches the holes, cut the intestinal section in abdomen...however cultivate bacterium for antibiogram and it doesn’t carry out systematic, the diseases after operation due to tuberculosis haven’t treated as the standard outline. The fatality rate: 2/14 is acceptable due to both 2 patients with small intestinal cancer in weakened situation.

Intestinal perforation by an ingested foreign body is uncommon, and less than 1% lead to intestinal perforation. The diagnosis of fish-bone-induced intestinal perforation is difficult because of the rare history of foreign body ingestion, various clinical presentations, and the radiolucent character of fish bone. Usually, the correct diagnosis is established after an operation. We experienced a rare case of small bowel perforation induced by a fish bone accompanying an intestinal obstruction due to previous operation. Foreignbody-induced perforation is relatively rare, but it should be considered in the case of an acute abdomen.

Colonoscopy is one of the most useful procedures for making the diagnosis and treating various colorectal diseases, but this procedure rarely causes serious complications such as perforation. The incidence of colon perforation during colonoscopy is low. However, as the demand for screening and surveillance colonoscopy has gradually increased and colonoscopic polypectomy has become a commoner procedure in daily clinical practice, endoscopists should pay attention to prevent and manage colonoscopy-related perforation. The purpose of this review is to briefly summarize the guidelines from the World Journal of Emergency Surgery for the management of colonoscopy-related perforation.

Fetal intussusception is not common and the underlying mechanism triggering the event is not known at present. There are few reports of successful diagnosis in fetus with prenatal ultrasongraphy. It may be detected by meconium peritonitis. Meconium peritonitis is a nonbacterial foreign body reaction or chemical inflammation by intestinal perforation result from intestianl atresia, intussusception and fetal bowel obstruction. Recently we experienced a 33+1 weeks of gestational fetus with fetal intussusception who had prenatal ultrasonographic detection with meconium peritonitis, and the infant was underwent postnatal laparotomy. We present this case with a brief review of literature.

Diagnosis and management of abdominal pain in old age is considered a challenge to emergency physicians. Stercoral perforation is an infrequent event, which most commonly develops in old age. We report on a case of stercoral perforation in an elderly woman, which, to the best of our knowledge, is one of a few reported cases in the medical literature. A 74-year-old woman who presented at our emergency department complaining of lower abdominal pain was found to have a perforation of the colon. Examination revealed a stercoral perforation by fecaloma. She underwent Hartman's operation and colostomy. Stercoral perforation is rare; however, emergency physicians should consider this disease entity in elderly patients with abdominal pain.
