RESUMEN
Amyand's hernia is described as the presence of the caecal appendix within the hernial sac of an incarcerated inguinal hernia. It was reported as an incidental finding in 1% of cases and with evidence of appendicitis in 0.1% of cases. The approach involves performing appendectomy and inguinal repair in the same surgical time, depending on the clinical scenario and the surgeon's decisions. We presented the case of a 76-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of Amyand's right inguinal hernia diagnosed during trans-operative right inguinal plasty.
RESUMEN
Intussusception is an unusual cause of intestinal occlusion in adults, accounting for 5% of cases, and is the result of an underlying pathology in 90% of cases, 60% of which are tumors. The pathogenesis describes the invagination of an intestinal segment into the lumen of an adjacent segment with subsequent alterations in irrigation, risk of necrosis and perforation. Surgical management is indicated in adult patients to restore intestinal transit and to exclude malignancy as the axis of the intussusception. We present the case of a 58-year-old female patient with enteric intussusception at ileum due to lipoma, who underwent bowel resection and manual end-to-end intestinal anastomosis in two planes.
