Project description:We report the first case of a previously undocumented complication after posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy (PRA). Extensive diagnostic procedures for persisting abdominal pain led to diagnosis of an incisional hernia (IH) approximately 2.5 years after surgery for a pheochromocytoma of the right adrenal gland. Thus, IHs need to be recognized as a potential complication after PRA, particularly if the symptoms are non-specific. The differential diagnosis of an IH after PRA includes a type of spontaneous lumbar hernia due to a pre-existing weakness of the abdominal wall however the treatment for both type of hernias is similar by mesh repair. A possible risk factor for IH after PRA might be obesity, due to different factors including difficulties in closing the fascia in depth under subcutaneous tissue.

Project description:IntroductionDouble direct and triple indirect type hernia in unilateral inguinal hernia is unique. Anomaly of pathway traversed by inferior epigastric artery is always of surgical importance. Meticulous exploration of the groin is mandatory for diagnosis of rare hernia.Case reportA 46 year old male presented with the right groin swelling. An inguinal hernia having two direct types separated by anamalous inferior epigastric artery and three indirect types of hernia were present. There was one bubonocele and two funicular types of indirect type of hernia present on the single cord. Anamalous inferior epigastric artery lying superficially at midpoint of inguinal canal was buttresed in the posterior wall to prevent its entrapping in mesh. Individual ligation of the indirect sacs and Lichtenstein repair was done. This is first kind of unique case report with the new type of hernia reported in the English literature after searching Pubmed, Medline, Google Scholar and Embase database. This new hernia, Double Pantaloon hernia, as a mark of respect and unity, is named after its State of origin, "Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh" so called as "Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh Hernia".ConclusionDouble direct and triple indirect type hernia in a unilateral inguinal hernia is unique. Presence of multiple hernia sacs in the inguinal hernia is a risk for recurrence, if not detected. Inferior epigastric artery in inguinal canal may traverse an aberrant course.

Project description:BackgroundIntercostal lung herniation is a rare condition that may be congenital (20%) or acquired (80%). The isolated congenital form is exceptional, with one case reported in the literature.Case presentationWe report a case of a 10-year-old French boy of Algeria origin, born with intermittent swelling of his right hemithorax. The swelling and pain gradually increased with age. A clinical examination revealed a localized swelling of his right hemithorax at the level of the midclavicular line and the fifth intercostal space. The swelling increased in size during respiratory movements and enlarged with Valsalva maneuvers. The intercostal lung hernia was treated by thoracoscopy.ConclusionsThis is the second case of isolated congenital intercostal pulmonary hernia reported in the French and English literature. It is the first to be treated by thoracoscopy. Based on this case we performed a review of the diagnosis and therapeutic aspect of pulmonary hernias.

Project description:IntroductionGastric volvulus are rare. Complications can be life threatening, including necrosis and perforation. Assessment of mucosal viability is essential, and urgent surgical intervention is mandatory in case of vascular compromise.Presentation of caseAn 72-year-old female known for a paraesophageal hiatal hernia was admitted at our emergency department with acute abdominal pain. Blood count demonstrated leukocytosis and increased C-reactive protein. Abdominal computed tomography showed a mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus. Urgent upper endoscopy revealed mucosal ischemia, which prompted immediate laparotomy with partial gastrectomy, cruroplasty, and Dor fundoplication. Postoperative course was uneventful.DiscussionGastric volvulus is initially treated with nasogastric tube decompression, but definitive treatment is achieved surgically. When there is an associated hernia, closing the anatomical defect and fundoplication should be performed. Complication such as necrosis is associated with a high mortality, and requires urgent surgical repair.ConclusionGastric volvulus can be life-threatening. Urgent endoscopic or surgical assessment should be conducted to assess mucosal viability.

Project description:Background Bilateral congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is very rare. A few studies have reported the pathogenic role of 5p in CDH. Case presentation A 23-year-old primigravida Japanese woman was referred for the following abnormal findings at 33 weeks of gestation: polyhydramnios, macroglossia, talipes equinovarus, and levocardia. A marker chromosome was detected by amniocentesis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization with whole chromosome paint 5 and nucleolus organizer region probes confirmed its origin from chromosome 5 and an acrocentric chromosome. The karyotype of the fetus was diagnosed as 47, XY, +mar. ish +mar(WCP5+). At 39 + 5 weeks, a 2462 g male infant was delivered, with a specific facial configuration. Bilateral CDH, hypoplasia of the corpus callosum, atrial septal defect, and hypothyroidism were also detected in the baby. The karyotype of the peripheral blood was consistent with that of the amniocentesis. Conclusion Genes coded on 5p might be associated with the pathogenesis of CDH; however, further investigation is required.

Project description:Amyand's hernia is a rare case of inguinal hernia where the hernia sac contains the appendix, and depending on the condition of the appendix, this type is classified into under types where the appendix can be normal, inflamed, or even perforated. Accordingly, the patient's condition can be good or bad. In our case, we have a 13-year-old child who suffers from abdominal pain and discomfort. He is referred to the emergency department with this complaint. By clinical and radiological examination, the presence of an inguinal hernia containing the appendix was found. Based on that, we performed emergency and investigative surgery in order to determine the condition of the appendix and whether there is suffocation or not. It was found by surgical opening that the hernia was incarcerated and this required excision of the appendix and repair of the hernia.

Project description:IntroductionIatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia after laparoscopic left adrenalectomy has been rarely reported in adults. Surgery is the preferred treatment because of the risks of incarceration, strangulation and pulmonary complications.Presentation of caseAn elderly woman with parasternal diaphragmatic hernia has been successfully treated by robotic repair with mesh placement. The short-term follow-up showed that there was no recurrence or any symptoms after the intervention.DiscussionIatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia is a rare complication occurring after abdominal or thoracic surgery. The diagnosis could be challenging because of the presence of chronic symptoms. Computed tomography can be considered the gold standard technique to assess the correct diagnosis of diaphragmatic hernias in the majority of cases. Patients with chronic symptomatic hernia should undergo surgical repair of defect. Robotic technology because of its enhanced precision and the endowrist movement of the robotic arms, facilitates the dissection near the esophago-gastric junction and the other important adjacent structures.ConclusionRobotic technology seems to be a valid approach for the repair of diaphragmatic defects, even if this remains a high cost-related procedure.

Project description:BackgroundAcquired perineal hernia is a rare complication following extensive pelvic surgery. Radiotherapy is also a predisposing factor. Perineal hernia can cause chronic perineal pain, bowel obstruction, urinary disorders and a cosmetically disfiguring defect. The treatment of perineal hernia is surgical, usually consisting of mesh repair via an abdominal or perineal approach.Case presentationWe present a case report and a surgical video of a 42-year-old woman with history of a squamous cell carcinoma. This patient had 3 recurrences since the diagnosis and a symptomatic perineal hernia. Complete regression of the recurrent malignancy allowed us to treat the perineal hernia. We performed laparoscopic repair with prosthetic mesh in this patient who had undergone multiple surgeries and radiotherapy, while preserving the omental flap that was used to reconstruct the posterior part of the vagina.ConclusionThere is no consensus concerning the preferred surgical approach, perineal or laparoscopic, as no study has demonstrated the superiority of either of these approaches. Laparoscopic repair for an acquired perineal hernia is safe and feasible. However, further studies including randomized trials are required to precisely evaluate the best surgical approach and type of mesh.
