De Garengeot hernia with appendicitis treated by two-way-approach surgery: a case report.

ABSTRACT: de Garengeot hernia is a rare subtype of a femoral hernia with incarceration of the appendix. This type of hernia usually presents with therapeutic dilemmas, especially because of the risk of surgical site infection (SSI). Our patient was a 74-year-old woman with a bulging mass and tenderness in the right inguinal area. Computed tomography revealed an incarcerated appendix, with appendicitis in the femoral hernia. Laparoscopic appendectomy was initially performed, followed by hernioplasty via the anterior approach to prevent properitoneal contamination. Some authors have recently reported cases successfully treated by laparoscopy. However, this type of hernia has a higher risk for SSI, compared with the risk involved in usual hernioplasty. Therefore, selection of the appropriate surgical approach to prevent wound infection is important, especially in the presence of appendicitis. We would like to highlight the usefulness of hybrid surgery, laparoscopic appendectomy and hernioplasty via the anterior approach to prevent SSIs.

Appendix-preserving elective herniorrhaphy for de Garengeot hernia: two case reports.

Project description:BackgroundEmergency appendectomy is often performed for de Garengeot hernia. However, in some cases, there may be a chance to perform an appendix-preserving elective surgery.Case descriptionA 76-year-old woman presented to our hospital with complaints of a right inguinal swelling, which we diagnosed as a de Garengeot hernia using computed tomography (CT). B-mode ultrasonography (US) of the mass showed an appendix 4-6 mm in diameter with a clear wall structure; color Doppler US showed pulsatile blood flow signal in the appendiceal wall. Twenty-eight days later, herniorrhaphy with transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) was performed without appendectomy. Another 70-year-old woman presented to our hospital with complaints of a painful bulge in the right inguinal region. The diagnosis of de Garengeot hernia was made using CT. B-mode US showed an appendix 5 mm in diameter with a clear wall structure. Color Doppler US showed a pulsatile blood signal in the appendiceal wall. Seven days later, herniorrhaphy with TAPP was performed without appendectomy.ConclusionDe Garengeot hernia is often associated with appendicitis; however, an appendix-preserving elective herniorrhaphy can be performed if US and intraoperative findings do not suggest appendicitis or circulatory compromise in the appendix.

Hernia after retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy, case report.

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.

Internal hernia of the stomach associated with colostomy after laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer: a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Colostomy via the intraperitoneal route is often performed during laparoscopic Hartmann's operation or abdominoperineal resection. Internal hernia of the small intestine often occurs after colostomy. This report shows a rare case of internal hernia of the stomach associated with sigmoid colostomy after laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer. CASE PRESENTATION:The patient was a 79-year-old woman with a sigmoid colostomy. Computed tomography scan showed a markedly distended stomach in the space between the lifted sigmoid colon and the lateral abdominal wall. Laparoscopy revealed that the body of the stomach had passed through a hernia orifice located between the lifted sigmoid colon and the left lateral abdominal wall. The dislocated stomach was restored to its normal position, and the lateral defect was closed with the lateral peritoneum and the lifted sigmoid colon laparoscopically. CONCLUSIONS:Internal hernia associated with colostomy can lead to not only obstruction of the small intestine, but also obstruction of the stomach. We reported a successful case of the suture repair for the internal hernia of the stomach associated with colostomy.

A new anterior approach to parastomal hernia repair (PHR) with linear stapler suture: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionParastomal hernia is a type of incisional hernia occurring in abdominal integuments in the vicinity of a stoma. The best surgical approach for PSH remains controversial. Most studies report short follow-up time after surgery and a low number of cases to allow conclusions. Actually, we don't have a relevant recommendation about an optimal surgical technique or the most effective mesh for PSH repair.Presentation of the caseOnce packaged the latero-lateral mechanical anastomosis to restore the continuity of the intestinal tract of the patient, an adequate disinfection of trough of the stoma was done. The lateral and medial margins of the defect are then transposed towards each other and kept side by side with a gripper; a 60 mm tristaple linear stapler was placed, incorporating both edges and the charge is fired to obtain a perfect synthesis of the retromuscular plane.DiscussionIn the literature has been described several surgical techniques for its repair: suture repair, relocation, mesh-based technique with open or laparoscopic approach. Both, the simple corrective surgery of Thorlakson in 1965 and the use of the peritoneomuscular flap for closing the defect, suggested by Bewes, led to high incidence of recurrence. An important reduction in the rate of parastomal hernia derives also from the mesh reinforcement of the stoma trephine.ConclusionThe authors suggest that this technique should be help the surgeons to repair parastomal hernia in patients with multiple risk factors to develop a recurrence of parastomal hernia.

Robotic hernia surgery IV. English version : Robotic parastomal hernia repair. Video report and preliminary results.

Project description:The surgical treatment of parastomal hernias is considered complex and is known to be prone to complications. Traditionally, this condition was treated using relocation techniques or local suture repairs. Since then, several mesh-based techniques have been proposed and are nowadays used in minimally invasive surgery. Since the introduction of robot-assisted surgery to the field of abdominal wall surgery, several adaptations to these techniques have been made, which may significantly improve patient outcomes. In this contribution, we provide an overview of available techniques in robot-assisted parastomal hernia repair. Technical considerations and preliminary results of robot-assisted modified Sugarbaker repair, robot-assisted Pauli technique, and minimally invasive use of a funnel-shaped mesh in the treatment of parastomal hernias are presented. Furthermore, challenges in robot-assisted ileal conduit parastomal hernia repair are discussed. These techniques are illustrated by photographic and video material. Besides providing a comprehensive overview of robot-assisted parastomal hernia repair, this article focuses on the specific advantages of robot-assisted techniques in the treatment of this condition.

Acute appendicitis after colorectal endoscopic mucosal resection: a case report.

Project description:Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was originally described in 1973 and is currently a popular practice used in treating polyps, small adenomas, and early cancers. Although the safety of EMR has been proven in numerous studies, complications occur occasionally. We report a case in which the patient complained of severe upper abdominal pain and who was diagnosed with acute appendicitis after colorectal EMR. The patient recovered well after surgery. Cautious observation is necessary when resuming oral intake in patients who undergo colorectal EMR and who complain of postoperative abdominal pain. Observation is especially important for patients with a fecalith that may have originally existed in the appendix or in the colon near the appendix.

Appendicitis as a presentation of COVID-19: A case report.

Project description:BackgroundCoronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is an infectious respiratory disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Respiratory symptoms and flu-like presentation are the most defined clinical manifestations. However, gastrointestinal symptoms with acute abdomen have been reported in a small percentage, occasionally mimicking acute appendicitis. Hence, the diagnosis of COVID-19 should be suspected and investigated in every case of acute abdomen in the present situation.Case presentationWe report a case of a 25-year-old male who presented with features of acute appendicitis. Despite the equivocal ultrasound results, he was scheduled for an emergency appendectomy for Alvarado's score 7 out of 10, who underwent a successful appendectomy. The patient had initially tested negative on an upper respiratory COVID-19 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with normal chest X-ray but few hours after the surgery patient developed a high-grade fever. An RT-PCR for COVID-19 was resent following a suspicion that came out to be positive.Clinical discussionSeveral case reports have suggested a probable association between COVID-19 and appendicitis. This case shows the limited effectiveness of clinical diagnosis for the surgical abdomen in COVID-19 patients as these two conditions share similar symptoms often needing a clinical vigilance.ConclusionThis case reports acute appendicitis in a patient who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 subsequently following emergency appendectomy highlighting the acute gastrointestinal presentation of COVID-19. This case exemplifies the necessity to be familiar with the gastrointestinal symptoms of COVID-19 and maintain a high level of suspicion for COVID-19 infection in cases of abdominal pain.

Ovarian dermoid torsion with concomitant acute appendicitis: A case report.

Project description:Acute appendicitis and adnexal torsion are leading causes of acute surgical abdomen in female patients. However, the simultaneous occurrence of these 2 conditions is extremely rare. Here, we present an extraordinary case of a woman radiologically diagnosed with ovarian dermoid torsion coexisting with acute appendicitis. The patient was managed operatively by surgeons from the respective fields in a single setting, thereby meeting the patient's standard of care. This case provides valuable insight into the possible coexistence of acute adnexal pathology with acute bowel pathology and vice versa, emphasizing that radiologists should avoid satisfaction of search after a single possible explanation of the condition.
