BACKGROUND Presence of the vermiform appendix in an inguinal hernia sac is an uncommon finding (1%), exceptionally rare if it's inflamed (0.13%). Clinically simulating incarcerated inguinal hernia and proper preoperative diagnosis is exceptional. We present two unusual cases of Amyand's hernia, and review of the bibliography. CLINICAL CASES 1. Male patient 78 year old with an incarcerated rig...

A femoral hernia containing an appendix, known as de Garengeot hernia, is an uncommon and potentially confusing presentation. Prompt differentiation of this condition from other groin hernias in an acute setting will influence management and reduce morbidity. Computed Tomography (CT) should be performed in all suspected cases and an awareness of likely CT findings can facilitate rapid pre-opera...

The presence of an appendix vermiformis in a femoral hernia sac is called De Garengeot's hernia. It is a very rare clinical condition and requires emergency surgery. However, preoperative diagnosis of De Garengeot's hernia is difficult. Herein, we report a 58-year-old female who presented with sudden-onset painful swelling in the right groin region. Diagnosis was established based on computed t...

Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract. In the vast majority of cases it remains asymptomatic throughout life but in about 5% of cases it gives rise to complications, namely, haemorrhage, intestinal obstruction and inflammation. A rare complication is being presented--a femoral hernia containing a strangulated Meckel's diverticulum. This is...

Background The laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (TEP), unlike the Lichtenstein tension-free mesh repair, allows for inspecting femoral canal area presence of an occult hernia. Objectives To determine incidence unsuspected in patients undergoing TEP repair. Material and methods Data was collected prospectively from 180 (23 women) who underwent including examination can...

Hernia is one of the most common clinically diagnosed cases seen in day-to-day practice. But some them might pose a challenge diagnosing condition and, thus, their further management. Some types hernias are rare and mimic presentation acute abdomen, thus requiring extra caution to keep as differential diagnosis abdomen. In this series, we report five presented tertiary care center northern Indi...

Introduction: Hernias that do not correspond to the usual sites of hernias in inguinal and femoral region have been described. Laparoscopic vision provides a much broader clearer perspective allows visualizing these hernia defects. The purpose this paper is report two cases peri-inguinal solved by laparoscopy, review unknown situation many surgeons today. Methods: A search terms “peri-inguinal ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We report on laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair without fixation of mesh for femoral hernia in 6 patients. METHODS During a 3-year period, laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair of femoral hernia was performed without mesh fixation in 6 patients. The recurrence rate, pain scores, hospital stay, and other morbidity parameters were noted. Pain scores were 1=n...
