Internal hernia after trans-abdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) hernia repair: A case report.

Introduction: Hernia repair is a common procedure performed by general surgeons. Introduced in 1990s, the use of laparoscopic hernia repair has recently increased and, consequently, rare complications previously unknown have been reported.

Presentation Of Case: A 43-years-old male patient who underwent a transabdominal preperitoneal patch plasty (TAPP) procedure for symptomatic bilateral inguinal hernia.

Complicated appendiceal diverticulitis a extremely rare cause of acute abdomen: A case report and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Appendiceal diverticulitis (AD) represents a rare cause of acute abdomen. Diagnosis of AD is a challenge because of its rarity and resemblance to other ileocecal diseases like as cecal diverticulitis (CD) and acute appendicitis (AA). Preoperative imaging can be useful to aid diagnosis.

Accidentally ingested wooden toothpick, perforation of a sigmoid diverticulum and mimicking acute colonic diverticulitis: A case report and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Ingested wooden toothpick (WT) represents a rare cause of acute abdomen. Preoperative diagnosis of ingested WT is a challenge because of its unspecific clinical presentation, the low sensitivity rate of radiological investigations and the patient's inability to often recall the event of swallowing a WT. Surgery represents the main treatment in case of ingested WT-induced complications.

Use of the Desarda Technique in Emergency Settings: a Comprehensive Review.

One of the most frequent surgeries performed across the world is an inguinal hernia repair, with at least twenty million people undergoing this procedure each year. The prevalence of groin hernia, defined as projections of adipose tissue or viscera through the femoral or inguinal canal, is 3-6% for women and 27-43% for men. Obstruction of the small bowel is one of the most frequent reasons for a strangulated hernia.

Giant Retroperitoneal Mass: Case Report in a Primary Hospital and Review of the Literature.

Retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLS) is a rare form of cancer that mostly affects adults. Symptoms may be undetected unless the tumor begins to grow. Diagnosis is made when the tumor is large and puts vital organs such as the pancreas, liver, kidneys at risk.

Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for benign and malignant disease: a review of techniques and results.

Diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is challenging in the initial phases because its progression is rapid. The pancreatic tail and body roughly accounts for 20-30% of all cancerous cases. The standard treatment for symptomatic benign, malignant, and premalignant diseases of the pancreatic tail and body is distal pancreatectomy.

Giant retroperitoneal well-differentiated liposarcoma presenting in emergency with intestinal occlusion: Case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Liposarcoma (LPS) represents the most common type of retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) and can be classified into four subtypes. Preoperative diagnosis of retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RLPS) is a challenge because of its late and nonspecific clinical presentation. Imaging may be helpful for determining the correct diagnosis.

Primary jejunogastric intussusception: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Jejunogastric intussusception following gastric surgery is a rare complication that, if not diagnosed early, can have catastrophic outcomes.

Presentation Of Case: We have reported a case, never described previously, of an acute spontaneous retrograde JGI, presenting with obstruction and hematemesis, in a 70-year-old woman who has never, previously, undergone abdominal surgery.

Discussion: As in all cases of intestinal intussusception, early diagnosis is important for acute JGI as mortality rates increase from 10% when the intervention occurs within 48 h.

Intestinal obstruction and ischemia by necrotic annular Meckel's diverticulum: Case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a vestigial remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct, representing the most common congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. Diagnosis of MD is a challenge because of its rarity and frequent asymptomaticity. Radiological exams generally aren't useful for its diagnosis.

Two Cases of Spontaneous Isolated Dissection of Superior Mesenteric Artery in One Night: Report of a (Noninvasive) Double Challenge.

BACKGROUND Spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SID-SMA) is a rare but potentially fatal condition. Although many cases of SID-SMA have been reported in the literature in recent years because of the increased use of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scanning, optimal management has not yet been firmly established. CASE REPORT We report 2 cases of SID-SMA that were managed with stenting and angioplasty via transfemoral access.

Gangrenous appendicitis in Amyand's hernia: Surgical approach under local anesthesia. Case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Amyand hernia is a rare disease seen in approximatively 1% of all hernias, complications of it, like acute appendicitis, or perforated appendicitis are even more rare, about 0.1%. Its diagnosis is very difficult in the preoperative period: it is usually an incidental finding.

Acute intrathoracic gastric volvulus with retrograde gastric intussusception: A case report of a rare surgical emergency with review of the literature.

Introduction: The gastric volvulus is a rare condition in which the stomach, or part of it, rotates on its axis, for over 180°, constituting a surgical emergency. Even more rare is gastro-gastric intussusception. A delay in their diagnosis and treatment can have fatal consequences PRESENTATION OF CASE: An 82-year-old woman was admitted to the Surgery Unit with a two-day history of abdominal pain associated at first with coffee vomiting and, subsequently, with unproductive retching and oligoanuria.

Bouveret's syndrome as a rare complication of cholelithiasis: Disputes in current management and report of two cases.

Introduction: Bouveret's syndrome is a rare complication of cholelithiasis that determines an unusual type of gallstone ileus, secondary to an acquired fistula between the gallbladder and either the duodenum or stomach with impaction of a large gallbladder stone. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult because of its rarity and the absence of typical symptoms. Adequate treatment consists of endoscopic or surgical removal of obstructive stone.

Tubulo-villous adenoma of the appendix: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Tubulo-villous adenoma is a rare benign appendiceal neoplasm often asymptomatic with the most clinical manifestation that resembles acute appendicitis. Pre-operative diagnosis is difficult by its rarity and the absence of typical symptoms. Adequate treatment is surgical resection.
