1/526. Painful incarcerated hernia following a rugby union lineout.Discussion related to hernias in sport usually involves the diagnosis and treatment of chronic musculotendinous groin disruption. A case of acute trauma in an incarcerated inguinal hernia, occurring in a rugby union player during a lineout, is presented. The injury arose as a result of a change in the laws of the game.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = inguinal hernia, hernia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/526. Richter's hernia: a rare presentation of abdominal tuberculosis.intestinal obstruction due to Richter's hernia has not been reported in abdominal tuberculosis. This 21-year-old man with abdominal tuberculosis presented with small gut obstruction due to Richter's hernia associated with ascites and patent right processus vaginalis (PV). He underwent laparotomy with reduction of Richter's hernia and closure of the PV at the right deep inguinal ring.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.48952963327048keywords = hernia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/526. Preoperative sonographic diagnosis of sliding appendiceal inguinal hernia.Rarely, the appendix forms the sliding component of an inguinal hernia. We report the case of a 2-month-old boy who was preoperatively diagnosed with sliding appendiceal inguinal hernia by sonographic examination. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature of the preoperative sonographic diagnosis of a sliding appendiceal inguinal hernia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4.5523518336476keywords = inguinal hernia, hernia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/526. Parietal mesh abscess as an original presentation of cancer of the caecum.We report a case of cancer of the caecum in a 71-year-old male who presented with parietal mesh abscess. Two years before, he was treated for a right inguinal hernia by insertion of a Dacron mesh. CT scan then colonoscopy determined the existence of a voluminous caecal tumor perforated in the abdominal wall with an important abscess around the mesh. Right colectomy and parietal muscles excision were performed completed with postoperative radiochemotherapy. At 2 years, there is no evidence of recurrence. Atypical features with a hernia mesh repair associated with a sudden change in the patient's condition should alert the clinician to the possibility of a further subjacent pathological process.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.7202687809883keywords = inguinal hernia, hernia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/526. Synchronous laparoscopic vasectomy and hernia repair.Over the last few years, general surgery has seen the use of more and more laparoscopic techniques in the management of common surgical problems. This expanded use is attributable not only to the excellent results seen with laparoscopic procedures but also to patient demand. A 48-year-old man requested a laparoscopic hernia repair with synchronous vasectomy. The technique of synchronous laparoscopic hernia repair and vasectomy is discussed, and a literature review is provided. Certain disadvantages along with the difficulty in reanastomosis after a laparoscopic vasectomy will prevent the replacement of traditional vasectomy with the laparoscopic technique.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.41959682851756keywords = hernia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/526. Transabdominal inguinal hernioplasty combined with abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.The number of patients being encountered with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and inguinal hernia is increasing. We describe herein a technique of performing a concomitant one-stage operation for both disorder. After conventional transperitoneal AAA repair, transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair is carried out through the same incision using a prosthesis made from the same material as the graft used for AAA. The maneuver is similar to that of laparoscopic hernioplasty. We employed this technique in the treatment of four patients, none of whom developed any complications such as infection or recurrence of the inguinal hernia. Thus, we conclude that this one-stage operation for AAA and inguinal hernia may bring physical and economic benefits to patients who have both diseases concomitantly.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.020940733459keywords = inguinal hernia, hernia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/526. Pseudomonas osteomyelitis of the symphysis pubis after inguinal hernia repair.osteitis pubis (OP) is a term used to describe an entity characterised by severe pelvic pain, a wide-based gait and bony destruction of the margins of the pubic symphysis. It is usually assumed that OP is a non-infectious, self-limiting, relatively benign condition. Infectious osteomyelitis of the symphysis pubis (IOSP) is very unusual and the clinical presentation can resemble OP. IOSP following inguinal hernia repair is extremely rare. A case of IOSP caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa is described. We reiterate the assumption that IOSP can be misdiagnosed as OP.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.2516798811768keywords = inguinal hernia, hernia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/526. Long distance telementoring. A novel tool for laparoscopy aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.BACKGROUND: As general surgeons perform a growing number of laparoscopic operations in increasingly specialized environments, the ability to obtain expert advice during procedures becomes more important. Technological advances in video and computer communications are enabling surgeons to procure expertise quickly and efficiently. In this article, we present laparoscopic procedures completed through an intercontinental telementoring system and the first telementored laparoscopic procedures performed aboard a naval vessel. methods: Video, voice, and data streams were linked between the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft Carrier Battlegroup cruising the pacific ocean and locations in maryland and california, creating the Battlegroup telemedicine (BGTM) system. Three modes of BGTM communication were used: intraship, ship to ship, and ship to shore. RESULTS: Five laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs were completed aboard the Lincoln under telementoring guidance from land-based surgeons thousands of miles away. In addition, the BGTM system proved invaluable in obtaining timely expertise on a wide variety of surgical and medical problems that would otherwise have required a shore visit. CONCLUSIONS: Successful intercontinental laparoscopic telementoring aboard a naval vessel was accomplished using "off-the-shelf" components. In many instances, the high risk and cost of transporting patients to land-based facilities was averted because of the BGTM system. Also, the relationship between the on-site and telementoring surgeon was critical to the success of this experiment. Long-distance telementoring is an invaluable tool in providing instantly available expertise during laparoscopic procedures.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.65033597623537keywords = inguinal hernia, hernia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/526. Fatal carbon dioxide embolism as an unreported complication of retroperitoneoscopy.Retroperitoneoscopy has gained popularity because it offers a safe alternative to the more debilitating open approach and avoids postoperative ileus. However, this type of procedure carries certain disadvantages in terms of intraperitoneal effusions and hemodynamic changes. Major complications are exceptional. We describe the case of a 52-year-old man who died of carbon dioxide embolism during elective totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernioplasty for symptomatic left indirect inguinal hernia. With the patient under general anesthesia, the retroperitoneal space was gained through a 1. 5-cm incision made below the umbilicus. During the dissection, the patient collapsed and could not be resuscitated. At autopsy, air bubbles were admixed with blood in the epicardial veins, but no injury to vessels was demonstrated. We conclude that carbon dioxide embolism usually is caused by direct puncture of major vessels during intra-abdominal procedures. However, when this complication occurs during retroperitoneoscopy, it seems related to pressure-forced entry of carbon dioxide into the venous plexus.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.65033597623537keywords = inguinal hernia, hernia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
