ABSTRACT

Resumen La hernia de Amyand es un tipo raro de presentación de la hernia inguinal cuyo contenido es el apéndice cecal, con reportes de incidencia menor al 1%. Debido a la baja frecuencia en la presentación de este tipo de hernia, resulta interesante analizar el caso de un paciente masculino de 80 años con cuadro clínico de dolor inguinal derecho de inicio súbito e imágenes compatibles con una hernia inguinal derecha complicada. El hallazgo del apéndice cecal durante el tiempo operatorio resulta impactante, donde finalmente se decide realizar una hernioplastía asociada a apendicectomía. Es conocido que la hernioplastía está entre los procedimientos más frecuentes y con técnicas quirúrgicas estandarizadas. Sin embargo, en la literatura encontramos divergencia sobre el manejo adecuado de una hernia tipo Amyand. Por tanto, tras una revisión bibliografía motivada por el caso, es posible considerar que para la reparación final de una hernia de Amyand debe tomar en cuenta a la presentación clínicas y patológica de cada paciente, la experiencia del cirujano y los insumos disponibles en el ámbito intrahospitalario para mayor beneficio que guiarán la mejor terapia para el paciente.


Abstract Amyand's hernia is a rare type of inguinal hernia presentation whose content is the cecal appendix, with reports of an incidence lower than 1%. Due to the low frequency in the presentation of this type of hernia, it is interesting to analyze the case of an 80-year-old male patient with a clinical case of sudden onset right inguinal pain, with CT scan compatible with a complicated right inguinal hernia. The finding of the cecal appendix in the hernial sac comes on as a surprise, where finally it was decided to perform a hernioplasty associated with an appendectomy. It is known that hernioplasty is among the most frequent procedures with standardized surgical techniques. However, in the literature, we find disagreements about the proper management of an Amyand-type hernia. Therefore, after a review of the bibliography that was motivated by the case, it is possible to consider that for the final repair of an Amyand hernia, the clinical and pathological presentation of each patient, the experience of the surgeon and the supplies available in the operating room must be taken into account for a greater benefit that will guide the best therapy for the patient.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the incidence rate, surgical rate and spontaneous cure of indirect inguinal hernia in children of Xinjiang region.Methods:Children, aged from 4?14 years, coming from 24 kindergartens, 18 primary schools and 9 junior middle schools of 3 countries and 5 cities in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were recruited to participate as respondents. The survey time for baseline data collection was from May 2013 to June 2014 and the retrospective cross-sectional survey was conducted. Parents of children were investigated by questionnaire, and children were examined on site. Observation indicators: (1) results of questionnaire survey; (2) illness and treatment of children involved in the study; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using telephone interview. Children who had been diagnosed and not been treated surgically at the time of questionnaire survey were followed up to detect disease progression and treatment in the past 5 years. If the symptoms of a child had disappeared during follow-up, parents of the child should accompany the child to hospital for physical examination and B-ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis, and then follow-up was conducted by telephone interview. The follow-up was up to January 2020. Count data were described as absolute numbers and percentages, and compari-son between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were calculated. Results:(1) Results of questionnaire survey. A total of 19 132 question-naires were distributed, and 19 132 complete questionnaires were recovered. Of the 19 132 children who completed the questionnaire survey, there were 9 670 males and 9 462 females. (2) Illness and treatment of children involved in the study. ① Incidence of indirect inguinal hernia in children with different sexes. Of the 19 132 children, 498 cases were diagnosed as indirect inguinal hernia, including 368 boys and 130 girls, with the prevalence as 3.806%(368/9 670) and 1.374%(130/9 462), respectively. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of indirect inguinal hernia between boys and girls ( χ2=111.54, P<0.05). The proportion of boys and girls in children with indirect inguinal hernia was 73.896%(368/498) and 26.104%(130/498), respectively, with the ratio of 2.8:1. The prevalence of boys was higher than girls ( odds ratio=2.84, 95% confidence interval as 2.32?3.48).② Age of children at first onset. Of the 498 children with indirect inguinal hernia, 59 cases were aged 1?4 years at first onset including 54 boys and 5 girls, 264 cases were aged 5?8 years including 196 boys and 68 girls, 148 cases were aged 9?12 years including 104 boys and 44 girls, 27 cases were aged 13?14 years including 14 boys and 13 girls. There was a significant difference in the age of children at first onset between boys and girls ( χ2=17.33, P<0.05). ③ Pathogenic factors in children with indirect inguinal hernia. Of the 498 children with indirect inguinal hernia, 457 cases had complete family history and crying history, and 41 cases were missing. Family history: of the 457 children with indirect inguinal hernia who had complete family history, there were 175 cases with the family history of indirect inguinal hernia and 282 cases without the family history. Of the 478 healthy children surveyed in the same period, there were 25 cases with the family history and 453 cases without the family history. There was a significant difference in the family history between the 457 children with indirect inguinal hernia and the 478 healthy children ( χ2=515.89, P<0.05). Crying history: of the 457 children with indirect inguinal hernia who had complete crying history, there were 194 cases with obvious crying history and 263 cases without obvious crying history. Of the 496 healthy children surveyed in the same period, there were 99 cases with obvious crying history and 397 cases without obvious crying history. There was a significant difference in the crying history between the 457 children with indirect inguinal hernia and the 496 healthy children ( χ2=56.51, P<0.05). ④ Surgical treatment. Of the 498 children with indirect inguinal hernia, 233 cases underwent surgical treatment including 217 boys and 16 girls, 265 cases were followed up without surgical treatment including 151 boys and 114 girls. The surgical rate for indirect inguinal hernia in boys and girls was 58.967%(217/368) and 12.308%(16/130), respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=84.01, P<0.05). The operation ratio of boys and girls was 13.6:1, and the surgical rate of boys was higher than girls ( odds ratio=10.24, 95% confidence interval as 5.83?17.98). (3) Follow-up. All the 265 children without surgical treatment for indirect inguinal hernia were followed up for 5 years. During the follow-up, there were 142 of 151 boys with surgical treatment and 9 boys without surgical treatments, showing negative in spontaneous cure. There were 27 of 114 girls with surgical treatment and 87 girls without surgical treatment, showing 55 cases positive in spontaneous cure and 32 cases still with indirect inguinal hernia. There was a significant difference in spontaneous cure between the 151 boys and the 114 girls ( χ2=143.79, P<0.05). Conclusion:In Xinjiang region, the incidence rate and surgical rate of indirect inguinal hernia are lower in girls compared with boys, and the spontaneous cure rate is higher in girls compared with boys.

ABSTRACT

We reported a case of irreducible indirect inguinal hernia caused by sigmoid colon cancer entering the right groin.The patient complained about a right groin mass for more than 60 years with progressive enlargement for 3 years and pain for half a month.Abdominal CT examination at admission showed rectum and sigmoid colon hernia in the right inguinal area and thickening of sigmoid colon wall.Electronic colonoscopy and pathological diagnosis showed sigmoid colon cancer.Therefore,the result of preliminary diagnosis was irreducible indirect inguinal hernia caused by sigmoid colon cancer entering the right groin.We converted laparoscopic exploration to laparotomy followed by radical sigmoidectomy and employed end-to-end anastomosis of descending colon and rectum in combination with repair of right inguinal hernia.The patient recovered well after operation and was discharged.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the effects of treatment of hernia sac stump in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (TAPP) on postoperative seroma.@*Methods@#The prospective study was conducted. The clinical data of 128 male patients with primary indirect inguinal hernia who were admitted to Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from October 2017 to March 2019 were selected. Patients were divided into two groups by random number method. Patients in experimental group had hernia sac stump sutured and fixed at the lower margin of rectus abdominis after transection of hernia sac in TAPP, and patients in control group had hernia sac stump free in the abdominal cavity after dissection and transection of hernia sac in TAPP. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was conducted to detect the incidence of postoperative seroma, incision infection, chronic pain, and hernia recurrence up to June 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was done using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range), and comparison between groups was done using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers and percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test.@*Results@#A total of 128 male patients were screened for eligibility, including 60 patients in the experimental group and 68 patients in the control group. The 128 patients were aged from 47 to 74 years, with an average age of 61 years. (1) Surgical situations: operation time and hospital expenses were (102±34)minutes and (12 813±2 390)yuan for the experimental group, and (97±30)minutes and (12 125±2 205)yuan for the control group, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups (t=0.907, 1.685, P>0.05). (2) Follow-up: all the 128 patients received follow-up. There were 8 cases of seroma in both the experimental group and the control group, with no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=0.072, P>0.05). The extraction volume of patients with seroma was 20 mL (range, 4-31 mL) in the experimental group, and 43 mL (range, 23-98 mL) in the control group, showing a significant difference between the two groups (Z=-2.013, P<0.05). There was no incision infection, chronic pain or hernia recurrence in 3 months after operation in patients with seroma of either experimental group or control group.@*Conclusions@#During TAPP, suture and fixation of the hernia sac stump to the lower edge of rectus abdominis and free hernia sac stump in the abdominal cavity after dissection and transection of hernia sac can effectively repair indirect inguinal hernia. The former method can reduce the extraction volume of seroma after operation.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic treatment with one trocar for children with indirect inguinal hernia. Methods From May 2007 to December 2008,70 children with indirect inguinal hernia underwent laparoscopic high ligation of hernia sac by using a modified epidural needle in our hospital. Among the patients,56 children aged from 6 months to 3 years,10 aged 4 to 7,and 4 aged 7 to 13. Nineteen of the children had the disease in both sides,while the other 51 had unilateral hernia. A trocar was place into the abdominal cavity through the umbilicus with a modified epidural needle to introduce 4-0 silk suture. High ligation of the hernia was then performed,and fixed on the abdominal wall. Results The operation was successfully completed in all of the cases. The operation time ranged from 5 to 15 min in unilateral cases,and 15 to 30 min in bilateral cases. Follow-up was achieved for 3 to 21 months in this series (over 12 months in 22 cases). During the period,no recurrence was found. Conclusions Laparoscopic high ligation of inguinal hernia sac with modified epidural needle is effective for children with minimal invasion and a low recurrence rate,without leaving scars at the abdomen.

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare curative effects between laparoscopic and open surgery in the treatment of pediatric indirect inguinal hernia.Methods A group of 410 children with indirect inguinal hernia underwent micro-laparoscopic operation(Laparoscopic Group) from April 2001 to January 2006.This group was compared with another group of 408 children with indirect inguinal hernia,treated with open high ligation of the hernial sac(Open Group) from September 2004 to January 2006.In the Laparoscopic Group,a 5-mm trocar was inserted at the umbilicus for the exploration of bilateral internal rings.Another 5-mm trocar was inserted at the site slightly superior to the McBurney's point for introducing a needle holder.At the level of the neck of the hernial sac,the orifice of the vaginal process was circumferentially sutured and ligated.In the Open Group,high ligation of the hernial sac was conducted through a transversal incision at the external ring.Results The operations in the Laparoscopic Group were smoothly completed.The operative time for one side of hernia was significantly shorter in the Laparoscopic Group(33.4?9.6 min) than in the Open Group(38.0?7.6 min)(t=-7.596,P=0.000).In the Laparoscopic Group,no edema of the scrotum,subcutaneous hydrops,or infection occurred.The patients were followed for 1~55 months(mean,23.2 months).Short-term recurrence was observed in 3 children,who required a re-operation of laparoscopic repair.No testicular atrophy,iatrogenic retained testis,intestinal adhesion,or other long-term complications happened.In the Open Group,follow-up observations for 1~18 months(mean,10 months) revealed recurrence in 18 children,8 of whom were then cured with laparoscopic surgery and 10 of whom with open surgery.Iatrogenic retained testis happened in 9 children and a re-operation of open surgery was carried out.Conclusions Two-port laparoscopic high ligation of hernial sac for pediatric indirect inguinal hernia is minimally invasive,safe,and effective,but not suitable for children with cardiac insufficiency or newborn incarcerated hernia.

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the feasibility of laparoscopic closure of the internal ring and high ligation of the hernial sac in children with indirect inguinal hernia.Methods Laparoscopic closure of the internal ring and high ligation of the hernial sac was conducted in 21 children with indirect inguinal from January 2003 to December 2004 in this hospital.A 5-mm 30? laparoscope was introduced through the umbilicus.The internal ring and the posterior crus(PC) on the side of hernia were identified.A 3-mm dissection forceps was placed on the midline between the umbilicus and pubic symphysis.At the skin projection of the internal ring on the side of hernia,a round-tip needle with 3-0 Prolene suture grasped by a regular needle holder was passed directly into the abdominal cavity to suture the posterior crus and then penetrate out of the abdomen via the roof of the internal ring through the musculoaponeurotic arch of the transversus abdominis.Then the Prolene suture was cut off,and passed by using the Endoclose device into the extraperitoneal cavity at the skin projection of the internal ring.The dissection was continued from without outward around the sac to encircle the neck and an extracorporeal high circumferential ligation of the sac was finished.Results The operation was successfully completed in all the 21 cases.The operating time was 16~50 min(mean,32.9 min),the postoperative duration in hospital was 1~2 d,and the time to normal activity,1~4 d(mean,1.4 d),respectively.No postoperative bleeding,hematoma of scrotum,or incisional infection occurred.Follow-up checkups in the 21 cases for 1~24 months(mean,15 months) showed no recurrence.Conclusions Laparoscopic closure of the internal ring and high ligation of the hernial sac is a novel,feasible,reliable and effective herniorrhaphy for the treatment of pediatric indirect inguinal hernia.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of trans-umbilicus two-port laparoscopic procedures in pediatric surgery.Methods Sixty children (age, 3 months~14 years; mean, 3.5 years) with indirect inguinal hernia and 40 children (age, 2.5~14 years; mean, 6.3 years) with appendicitis underwent supra-high ligation and appendectomy, respectively, by using mini laparoscope from January 2003 to December 2003. During the supra-high ligation, the camera and forceps were respectively introduced via the left and right side of umbilical ring, and a hernial-ring needle with suture was brought in at the site of body surface projection of internal ring to apply external knotting. During the appendectomy, laparoscopic instruments were put through the site of right McBurney’s point, and explorations for contralateral hernia or other digestive tract malformations were applied simultaneously. Results All the operations were completed smoothly. The mean operating time was 8.5 min and 55.7 min in hernia repair (per side) and appendectomy, respectively. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 1~2 days in children with indirect inguinal hernia and 5~7 days in children with appendicitis. Follow-up for 3~12 months showed no recurrence of hernia except for 1 case of intraoperatively misdiagnosed latent hernia, which relapsed 2 months after the surgery. Postoperative abdominal cavity infection took place in 2 cases of perforated appendicitis. Conclusions Trans-umbilicus two-port laparoscopic technique is simple to perform, safe and minimally invasive. The technique has fewer complications and gives satisfactory cosmetic results, being highly recommended.
