INTRODUCTION Amyand Hernia is a rare disease seen in approximately 1% of all hernias, complications of it, like acute appendicitis, or perforated appendicitis are even more rare, about 0.1%. Its diagnosis is very difficult in the pre-operative period; it is usually an incidental finding. PRESENTATION OF CASE This paper describes the case of a forty-year-old male patient, which was presented t...

PURPOSE In the early 1990's laparoscopic hernioplasty gained popularity worldwide. Thereafter, laparoscopic surgeons have attempted to improve cosmesis using single port surgery. This study aims to introduce and assess the safety and feasibility of single port laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) hernia repair with a nearly-scarless umbilical incision. METHODS Sixty three single port lapa...

Colonic perforation is a rare complication of laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty with polypropylene mesh and it is usually due to mesh migration [1, 2]. The presence of a colocutaneous fistula is a sign of high morbidity, and consideration should be given to treatment by endoscopy, al− though the usual treatment for this com− plication is open surgery. Fortunately, with advances in colonoscopy,...

Mesh hernioplasty is among the most frequently performed surgical procedures. The introduction of mesh implants has decreased recurrence rates, but the use of synthetic materials carries the risk of infection and biofilm formation. This paper presents the course of the disease in the case of biofilm formation on the surface of an implanted surgical mesh. Antimicrobial therapy and partial remova...

Background Inguinal hernia is the most prevalent among the hernias that interested the abdominal wall with higher incidence in male than female, moreover it is more frequent in elderly than in younger patients. The incidence rises from 11 per 10,000 person-years aged 16-24 years to 200 per 10,000 person-years aged 65 years and above. According to the literature the safest approach to geriatric ...

Lichtenstein technique requires identification of the iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal, and genital branch of the genitofemoral nerves.The aim of the study was to verify if the transverse incision is suitable for identification of the iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal, and genital branch of the genitofemoral nerves.This study included 29 patients who underwent hernioplasty, and also 10 dissections of ...
