Small Bowel Obstruction Caused by Small Intestinal Metastasis Secondary to Esophageal Carcinoma.

Despite the frequent rapid spread of esophageal cancers to other organs, metastases to the small intestine are uncommon. As such, this paper describes a case of a 60-year-old male who developed a small intestinal obstruction due to metastasis from esophageal carcinoma. This patient had received radical esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma 14 months prior to the diagnosis.

Amyand's hernia complicated with appendix perforation treated by two-stage surgery consisting of laparoscopic appendectomy followed by elective inguinal hernioplasty: A case report.

Amyand's hernia complicated with appendicitis, especially perforated appendicitis, is even rarer. Postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) is a dangerous complication, especially in Amyand's hernia with appendix perforation.
