Paracecal Hernia

After colonoscopy with polypectomy, a patient developed a surgically acute abdomen. Although abdominal radiology did not show free air, a presumptive diagnosis of bowel perforation was made and laparotomy performed. At the time of surgery the colon was normal, and there was no peritoneal contamination. A loop of ileum was discovered incarcerated into an internal paracecal hernia. The bowel was freed, and the operation was completed without need for resection. Several cases of incarcerated inguinal hernia resulting from endoscopy are described in the medical literature; this is the first reported case of an incarcerated internal hernia as a complication of colonoscopy.

Histologic Pattern

We report a rare case of a 77-year-old man with a known left inguinal hernia presenting with groin pain following a blunt trauma of the left leg. Diagnosis of small bowel perforation away from the hernia was obtained only in surgery. Difficulty in preoperative diagnosis, rarity of histologic pattern, and surgical challenges make this case very interesting for surgeons and radiologists. Our conclusion upon dealing with the situation is that the diagnosis of small bowel perforation following blunt injury to a non-abdominal trauma is rare and difficult. The association between inguinal hernia and non-abdominal trauma may result in small bowel injuries that normally do not appear. Therefore, clinicians should be cautious in treating non-abdominal trauma patients with inguinal hernias.

Abstract Background Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal patch (TAPP) is now commonly used in the repair of inguinal hernia. Barbed suture can be a fast and effective method of peritoneal closure. We report two rare cases of small bowel obstruction and perforation caused by barbed suture after TAPP. Cases Patient 1 is a 45-year-old man who underwent laparoscopic repair of a right inguinal hernia. Barbed suture was used to close the peritoneal defect. At 47 days after the operation, he was diagnosed with a small bowel obstruction caused by an elongated tail of the barbed suture. Emergency laparoscopic exploration was performed for removal of the embedded suture and detorsion of the volvulus. The second patient is a 50-year-old man who was admitted with a small bowel perforation one week after TAPP herniorrhaphy. Emergency exploration revealed that the tail of the barbed suture had pierced the small intestine, causing a tiny perforation. After cutting and releasing the redundant tail of the barbed suture, the serosal and muscular defect was closed with 2 absorbable single-knot sutures. Both patients have recovered well. Finally, we searched the PubMed database and reviewed the literature on the effectiveness and safety of barbed suture for TAPP. Conclusions Surgeons should understand the characteristics of barbed suture and master the technique of peritoneum closure during TAPP in order to reduce the risk of bowel obstruction and perforation.

Inguinal hernias are a common presentation to surgical admission units throughout the world. The majority of presentations are due to hernias containing either fat or small bowel. However, a wide range of intra-abdominal viscera have been demonstrated in inguinal hernias. We report a case of an 87-year-old man who presented with gastric outlet obstruction secondary to an incarcerated inguinal hernia containing the gastric pylorus.

Abstract Background Cholesterol crystal embolism (CCE) following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is rare. Case presentation A 71-year-old man underwent TACE for recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). On postoperative day (POD) 5, he developed abdominal pain and fever. Computed tomography revealed intraperitoneal free air. The patient was diagnosed with gastrointestinal perforation with peritonitis, for which partial intestinal resection and covering ileostomy were performed. Histological examination revealed perforation of the small intestine caused by CCE. The patient made a satisfactory recovery and was discharged on POD 30. The patient showed no recurrence of cholesterol crystal embolism or HCC for 2 years after surgery. Conclusion We reported a successfully treated case of ischemic small bowel perforation due to cholesterol crystal embolism following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for recurrent HCC.

Testicular torsion in neonates is a urologic emergency with an incidence of 6.1 per 100,000 live births. Incarcerated inguinal hernia is also an emergency with an incidence of approximately 6% to 31% in children with inguinal hernia. Functional testicular torsion from an incarcerated inguinal hernia is a rare event in children, often not considered in the initial evaluation. A 19-day-old newborn boy was admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit after visiting a primary clinic. He presented with inconsolable crying and right scrotal swelling. Upon initial physical examination, a hard palpable mass and swelling was found in the inguinoscrotal region, accompanied with redness and warmth of the scrotum. Scrotal ultrasound with color Doppler showed inguinal hernia with strangulation and scanty blood flow to the testis. The patient underwent a right orchiectomy and partial resection of the affected small bowel. Surgical findings confirmed a testicular torsion and incarcerated inguinal hernia with testis with small bowel necrosis. Here, we report a rare case of a newborn with functional testicular torsion as a result of prolonged spermatic cord compression due to incarcerated inguinal hernia.
