Bilateral Tubal Pregnancy

Bilateral tubal pregnancy (BTP) is a very rare form of ectopic twin gestation. Many times, they occur after the use of assisted reproductive therapy. Most cases of BTP are diagnosed during laparoscopy. This case report demonstrates a rare preoperative, sonography diagnosis of a spontaneous BTP which occurred after a tubal ligation. The sonogram revealed two corpus luteal cysts, both located on the right ovary, which suggests that the left tubal pregnancy most likely occurred as a result of ovum transmigration. This case demonstrates the important role that sonography plays in the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancies as well as the importance of thoroughly examining the entire pelvis during a pelvic sonogram.

Healthy Female

Isolated presentation of endometriosis of the inguinal canal is infrequent, and the clinical and imaging findings may be misleading in such patients. We describe an otherwise healthy female with isolated inguinal endometriosis presenting as a hydrocele of the canal of Nuck. Surgeons should consider such unusual presentations and obtain imaging and histological evaluations in doubtful instances. Complete excision was curative in our patient with no evidence of recurrence.

Endocrine Insufficiency

Cryptorchidism is known to occur in 0.18-3.6% of the population. Impingement of an undescended testicle in the inguinal canal has been described in 1.9% of cases as one of the complications of cryptorchidism along with volvulus and malignant degeneration (up to 15-40%). In 20-80% of cases, cryptorchidism is combined with inguinal hernia. Endocrine insufficiency in cryptorchidism occurs in 4-5% of cases.

Abstract Background Contralateral clinically occult hernias are frequently noted at the time of laparoscopic unilateral inguinal hernia repair. There is no consensus on the role of contralateral exploration and repair. This systematic review assessed the safety and efficacy of operative repair of occult contralateral inguinal hernias found during unilateral repair. Methods PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from inception to February 2020. Adults diagnosed with a unilateral inguinal hernia undergoing laparoscopic repair were included. The primary outcome was the incidence of occult contralateral hernias. Summative outcomes of operative and expectant management were reported along with development of a Markov decision process. Results Thirteen studies (1 randomized trial, 12 observational cohorts) with 5000 patients were included. The incidence of occult contralateral inguinal hernias was 14.6 (range 7.3–50.1) per cent. Among patients who underwent repair, 10.5 (4.3–17.0) per cent experienced a postoperative complication. Of patients managed expectantly, 29 per cent later required elective repair for symptoms. Mean follow-up was 36 (range 2–218) months. Using a Markov decision process, it was calculated that, for every 1000 patients undergoing unilateral inguinal hernia repair, contralateral exploration would identify 150 patients with an occult hernia. Repair would result in 15 patients developing a postoperative complication and 105 undergoing unnecessary repair. Alternatively, expectant management would result in 45 patients requiring subsequent repair. Conclusion Contralateral repair is not warranted in patients with occult hernias diagnosed at the time of elective hernia repair. The evidence is largely based on observational studies at high risk of bias.

Hernial Sac

9 children aged 4 to 14 years underwent a right-sided inguinal hernia repair, at the same time, a vermiform appendix was found in the hernial sac. All patients were hospitalized with a diagnosis of «Congenital right-sided inguinoscrotal hernia», bilateral hernias were not observed. Objectively, there were all signs of the disease, all hernias were reducible. The presence of the appendix in the hernial sac before the operation was not diagnosed either clinically or by ultrasound. The contents of the hernial sac had a thickened and long vermiform appendix, a greater omentum, and in two cases – a cecum of the type of sliding hernia. The children were operated on under general anesthesia: appendectomy and plastic surgery of posterior wall of inguinal canal were performed. No complications were observed in the postoperative period.
