Article Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare. Although most commonly found in the stomach, GISTs in the jejunum are among the rarest subtypes. A 46-year-old woman presented to the surgical department with proximal jejunal mass found in the examinations after abdominal pain and melena. Computed tomography imaging showed a 2.3 cm sized well-defined heterogenous enhancing mass in the proximal jejunum, and GIST was strongly suspected. The jejunal mass was identified 5 cm below the ligament of Treitz intraoperatively. She underwent robotic-assisted jejunal resection with intracorporeal robot-sewn anastomosis. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and she was discharged on the seventh postoperative day. A robotic approach for GIST in the proximal jejunum is a safe and feasible procedure with good surgical outcomes.

Laparoscopic management of small bowel obstruction due to unusual foreign body ingestion in a child with autism: a case report.

Foreign body ingestion in children, especially those aged 6 months to 3 years, is a common clinical concern. While most objects pass through the gastrointestinal tract uneventfully, some may result in obstruction and necessitate surgical intervention. We report a rare case of a 10-year-old child with autism who presented with small bowel obstruction following ingestion of a rubber feeding bottle nipple.

Real-time postoperative monitoring systems have tremendous potential to detect postoperative complications faster before patients become systemically ill. This study investigates the potential of gelatin-casein blend films as a biodegradable, implantable biomaterial platform for trypsin detection, which is a potential biomarker for an anastomotic leak from the duodenum or proximal jejunum. Although implantability has not been verified in this case, the implantability of gelatin and casein-based biomaterials is substantiated by their demonstrated cytocompatibility as evidenced below and established utility in medical applications, as evidenced by recent advancements in biomaterials research.

Bleeding involves morbidity and mortality in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving induction therapy. The concomitant presentation of gastrointestinal and uterine bleeding is rare as described in the literature, and its approach is not standardized. The following is an illustration of a case in which interventionism was effective and safe.

Introduction: Xanthomatosis is characterized by the accumulation of lipid-laden-foamy macrophages, leading to plaque or nodule formation. The most common causes of intestinal obstruction are postoperative adhesion, hernia, and tumors. While cases of jejunal xanthomatosis leading to small bowel obstruction have been rarely documented in the literature, no prior reports have described its occurrence in association with vitiligo.
