De Garengeot Hernia

Many surgeons are familiar with Amyand hernia, which is an inguinal hernia sac containing an appendix. However, few surgeons know of the contribution of Rene Jacques Croissant de Garengeot, an 18th century Parisian surgeon, to hernias. He is quoted in the literature as the first to describe the appendix in a femoral hernia sac. We discuss the case of an 81-year-old woman who presented with appendicitis within a femoral hernia, a rare finding at surgery that is almost never diagnosed preoperatively. We also propose crediting Croissant de Garengeot by naming this condition after him. Although his full last name is Croissant de Garengeot, for convenience we suggest the simple diagnosis of “de Garengeot hernia.”

Amyand Hernia

Amyand’s hernia is an inguinal hernia with trapped appendix; its frequency is approximately 1%. Acute appendicitis is a rare clinical presentation (0.1%) of Amyand’s hernia. It was first described by Claudius Amyand in 1735. We report a patient of Amyand’s hernia, three years of age, presented with right inguinoscrotal hernia. Right side groin discomfort was present. Herniotomy was performed revealing anon-inflamed appendix within the inguinal canal for which a classic appendectomy was done.

Amyand Hernia

Left Amyand Hernia (AH) is a very rare form of inguinal hernia. It presents commonly as an incarcerated inguinal hernia and intraoperative diagnosis is usually the rule. This is a report of a 7 months old male infant presenting with bilateral inguinal hernia, including a complicated left AH, with associated mobile caecum and meatal stenosis. He had bilateral herniotomy, transhernial appendectomy and meatotomy and did well post-operatively. A comprehensive comparative review of all 35 reported cases of left AH in the literature was undertaken alongside this report.

Amyand Hernia

Abstract Background The hernia is defined as the protrusion of any organ or a part of it through the wall or fascia or any connective tissue which normally encloses that organ. Among the hernias, an inguinal hernia is the most common type. In the inguinal hernia, Amyand hernia is one of the rare types, in which the appendix will herniate through the inguinal canal. The incidence of Amyand hernia is less than 1% (Namdev et al., Int Surg J 7:2072, 2020). Case presentation We are reporting a case of Amyand hernia, which was diagnosed incidentally in the patient who had been referred to computerized tomography (CT) for a malignant melanoma metastasis screening. Our case is unique in that pre-operative diagnosis of the Amyand hernia is rarely reported in the literature. We can diagnose the type 1 Amyand hernia with utmost confidence. Conclusion Pre-operative diagnosis of type 1 Amyand hernia can be made with utmost certainty by CT.

The eponym ‘Amyand hernia’ coined in recognition of Claudius Amyand, the first surgeon to successfully perform appendectomy in a hernia sac containing appendix, refers to the vermiform appendix within inguinal hernia. Here, we present a rare case, of Amyand’s hernia in an 18 month-old boy who was brought with an inguino-scortal swelling which later on exploration was left sided Amyand’s hernia with sliding component. Amyand’s hernia is not very often seen in the clinical practice and its pre-operative diagnosis is very difficult hence awareness of this disease condition is essential for preoperative suspicion and even diagnosis of the condition. Keywords: Amyand’s hernia; acute appendicitis; hernial repair.

  La hernia de Amyand es una enfermedad rara que se observa en aproximadamente el 1 % de todas las hernias, y sus complicaciones como la apendicitis aguda o perforada, son aún más raras, aproximadamente el 0,1 %. Su diagnóstico es muy difícil en el período preoperatorio y suele ser un hallazgo incidental. Se recibió un paciente masculino de setenta y tres años de edad que acudió al servicio de emergencias debido a dolor abdominal tipo punzante de moderada intensidad localizado en región inguinal derecha de 4 días de evolución, no refirió otros síntomas acompañantes. Se diagnosticó una hernia inguinal Nyhus III, Amyand tipo 2 y se le realizó apendicectomía incidental y reducción del saco herniario. Durante el postoperatorio no se observaron complicaciones.   Palabras clave: Hernia de Amyand, hernia de Garengeot, hernia inguinal, apendicitis aguda, apéndice cecal.   Abstract Amyand's hernia is a rare disease seen in approximately 1% of all hernias, and its complications such as acute or perforated appendicitis are even rarer, approximately 0.1%. Its diagnosis is very difficult in the preoperative period and is usually an incidental finding. A seventy-three-year-old male patient was received who came to the emergency service due to stabbing abdominal pain of moderate intensity located in the right inguinal region of 4 days of evolution, he did not refer other accompanying symptoms. A Nyhus III, Amyand type 2 inguinal hernia was diagnosed and incidental appendectomy and reduction of the hernial sac were performed. During the postoperative period, no complications were observed.   Keywords: Amyand hernia, Garengeot hernia, inguinal hernia, acute appendicitis, cecal appendix.
