When vermiform appendix is found in the inguinal hernial sac, the condition is called Amyand's hernia (AH). Appendix in hernial sac can be normal, inflamed or perforated. It can present as complicated hernia or acute scrotum. We present a case of Amyand's hernia in a 25-day-old male who presented with an obstructed hernia having perforated appendix in the hernial sac.

We present a case of an unsual type of obstructed indirect inguinal hernia with impending strangulation. The operative findings revealed a sliding Maydl's hernia with an ischemic inner ileal loop and an adherent inflamed appendix. This case highlights the importance of intraoperative examination of the intra-abdominal bowel loops proximal to the hernia sac of an incarcerated, obstructed, or str...

Amyand's hernia, named for the first person to describe an inguinal hernia containing the vermiform appendix, is an uncommon variant of an inguinal hernia. Amyand's hernia is an extremely rare condition and is often misdiagnosed. Traditionally, these hernias have been diagnosed at surgery but are increasingly diagnosed by abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans. CT of the abdomen may help in g...

We experienced two cases involving the simultaneous presence of cholelithiasis, hiatal hernia, and umbilical hernia. Both patients were female and overweight (body mass index of 25.0-29.9 kg/m(2)) and had a history of pregnancy and surgical treatment of cholelithiasis. Additionally, both patients had two of the three conditions of Saint's triad. Based on analysis of the pathogenesis of these tw...

conclusions transabdominal laparoscopic morgagni-larrey hernia repairs with reduced number of ports are safe and feasible. introduction a bilateral anterior parasternal hernia is commonly called a morgagni-larrey hernia. morgagni hernias are rare in adults, accounting for 3% of all treated diaphragmatic hernias. this article reports a giant bilateral morgagni-larrey hernia, repaired with a lapa...

Obturator hernia is a rare form of abdominal hernia and a diagnostic challenge. It is commonly seen in elderly thin females. Its diagnosis is often delayed with resultant increased morbidity and mortality due to bowel ischemia/gangrene. It is mistakenly diagnosed as femoral or inguinal hernia on USG. Computed tomography is diagnostic and is a valuable tool for preoperative diagnosis. This repor...

We report an incarcerated internal hernia in a huge irreducible parastomal hernia-"hernia within hernia." A 70-year-old obese woman with diabetes who underwent an abdomino-perineal resection 20 years ago was admitted to our hospital with 20 years history of a huge irreducible bulge, 25 cm in diameter. An internal hernia due to an adhesive band extending from the sac wall to proximal colon was f...

Inguinal hernia is a common disease with intestine or omentum majus herniating into hernia sac. Bladder herniation is a special type of inguinal hernia which often happens in old male with very low incidence. Here we report a rare case of an inguinal bladder hernia, which was diagnosed by 18F-FDG PET-CT during detection of lung carcinoma.

INTRODUCTION A de Garengeot hernia, a femoral hernia containing the appendix, is a difficult diagnosis often made intra-operatively when the hernia sac is opened. It is a rare finding, and complications are more frequent with a de Garengeot hernia. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 92 year-old female presented to the emergency department (ED) complaining of abdominal pain. A computed tomographic (CT) sc...
