A gastrograffin enema ruled out an anastomotic leak. Apart from a borderline tachycardia, mildly low saturations and an area of erythema in her right flank, she was totally asymptomatic. The emphysema resolved spontaneously around the 6th post-operative day.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>DISCUSSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Massive subcutaneous surgical emphysema after laparoscopic colorectal surgery is a rare complication and can me managed conservatively with a good outcome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To our knowledge, this represents the first case of delayed massive surgical emphysema following colorectal surgery, the aetiology of which has still not been clearly explained, after exclusion of the most common causes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2014.10.007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,1]],"date-time":"2014-12-01T22:33:59Z","timestamp":1417473239000},"page":"277-279","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Grossly delayed massive subcutaneous emphysema following laparoscopic left hemicolectomy"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Angharad","family":"Jones","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Umberto","family":"Pisano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sherif","family":"Elsobky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Angus J.M.","family":"Watson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-78-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"193","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.308.6922.193","article-title":"Minimally invasive surgery.
