Aim of the study was to evaluate factors that may delay a timely surgical management of NSAGP and the consequences of this deviation. We reviewed the charts of patients admitted for NSAGP and managed by LC during the last 14 years. A total number of 316 patients entered the study, 98 of whom underwent early LC. A comparison of pre-operative and outcome data from the group of patients undergone early LC and those who received a delayed LC (>3 days since the admission) was made. Only 31% of patients presenting with NSAGP were managed by early LC. Respect to these, patients who received a delayed LC were significantly older and had a greater occurrence of clinical signs suggesting common bile duct stones (CBDS). Stabilization of co-morbidities and need to investigate preoperatively the common duct were the main factors associated to the surgical delay. By comparing patients undergone early LC and those who received delayed LC, differences regarding conversion to open surgery (2% vs. 1.3%), need to explore the common bile duct (18.3% vs. 25.6%), CBDS clearance rates (94.4% vs. 94.6%), morbidity (8.1% vs. 8.7%), and postoperative hospital stay (3.9 vs. 3.2 days) were however statistically not significant. Several reasons could delay the 3-day recommendation for surgery in NSAGP. These include the need to achieve before surgery the control of age-related co morbidities, and the workup to investigate for common duct stones. A fast track program aiming to early surgery would be advisable for patients presenting with NSAGP. Compared to delayed LC, early LC appears to shorten overall hospitalization but it does not seem to have any clinical impact on the course.

Optimal management of this condition is still a subject of debate, including superiority of surgical resection or angiographic embolization of the aberrant arterial vessel. Presently described is rare case of a 51-year-old male who presented with hemoptysis related to pulmonary sequestration associated with acute right lower quadrant abdominal pain caused by perforated appendicitis.

We report a case of a patient with a blunt abdominal trauma due to an accidental fall, who presented splenic abscess a week after SAE and a review of the literature. A 38-year-old male arrived at Emergency after an accidental fall with contusion of the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. Abdominal CT scan revealed the fracture of the lower splenic pole with intraparenchymal pseudoaneurysms (OIS spleen injury scale IV). Considering the hemodynamic stability, NOM was undertaken and SAE was performed. After a week, the patient developed a splenic abscess confirmed by Abdominal CT; therefore, splenectomy was performed. There was no evidence of bacterial growing in the perisplenic hematoma cultures but the histological examination showed multiple abscess and hemorrhagic areas in the...
