Amyand’s hernia (AH) is an inguinal hernia that contains the vermiform appendix within its sac and is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. We encountered a case of AH with acute perforated appendicitis and peritonitis, which was diagnosed based on preoperative CT. Intraoperatively, we discovered that the internal inguinal ring was small, and part of the appendix was within the hernia sac; the ...

To compare two tension free techniques, darning versus mesh repair in cases of inguinal hernia. Prospective study was done in Tikrit Teaching Hospital. Ninety-six patients with nonobstructive unilateral reducible and primary inguinal hernia 48 patients operate with mesh and other 48 patients operate with darn repair. The two techniques where compared with respect to effectiveness, post-operativ...

Aim: To compare both techniques for operative & postop complications, operative time & hospital stay. Methods: This prospective study was conducted from February 2010 to June 2012. It included patients having reducible inguinal hernia, and fit for general anesthesia, operated by either TAPP or TEP technique. Type of the technique was decided by the surgeon, with patients consent. All intra oper...

OBJECTIVES We report our experience with posterior preperitoneal prosthetic herniorrhaphy for inguinal hernia in patients undergoing concomitant pelvic surgery for both benign and malignant urological pathologies. METHODS 116 patients with either unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernia underwent posterior preperitoneal prosthetic herniorrhaphy during a pelvic operation for various urological ...

Massive hernia of the bladder is a relatively rare situation. Generally, it is an incidental finding during surgery for inguinal hernia. Over the last years, with the more frequent use of CT scan, they are incidentally discovered. We report the case of a male patient with right bladder inguinal-scrotal hernia associated with a pelvic kidney. 82 year old man with history of transurethral resecti...

BACKGROUND Worldwide, there has been a marked increase in the number of inguinal and femoral hernia repairs performed as day surgery procedures. This study aimed to outline the epidemiology of the procedures for repairing unilateral inguinal and femoral hernia in the Veneto Region, and to analyze the time trends and organizational appropriateness of these procedures. METHODS Drawing from the ...

INTRODUCTION Percutaneous internal ring suturing (PIRS) is a method of laparoscopic herniorrhaphy, i.e. percutaneous closure of the internal inguinal ring under the control of a telescope placed in the umbilicus. AIM To evaluate the usefulness of the PIRS technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-five children (39 girls and 16 boys) underwent surgery using this method in our institution between...

Purpose: High ligation of the patent processus vaginalis (PPV) as basis of the treatment of indirect inguinal hernia in pediatric patients is not applied to adults. Instead, the popular options are the laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) approach or totally extra peritoneal (TEP) approach. We developed a unique technique to achieve laparoscopic completely extra peritoneal closure (...

inguinal mass is a common clinical finding or even symptom in childhood while the most common diagnosis is inguinal hernia that may proceed with prompt surgical but there are a vast variety of different entities that may manifest as an inguinal mass and in some instances, surgical approach is not indicated or may need further preoperative assessments to determine a correct therapeutic plan. in ...

For laparoscopic anterior resection, an additional small incision is usually placed in the left lower quadrant or the suprapubic portion. As a left inguinal hernia incision is close to both the left lower quadrant and the suprapubic portion, such an incision can be used for anastomosis in laparoscopic anterior resection, without additional incisions. We report a laparoscopic anterior resection ...
