Large tricuspid valve thrombus complicating COVID-19 pneumonia.

Background: Hemostatic disturbances with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can predispose to tricuspid and right heart thrombi in very rare instances.

Aim: We describe a 29-year-old female patient without a previous cause of thrombosis who developed large tricuspid valve thrombus (TVT) and moderate-to-severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) during the course of COVID-19 infection.

Materials And Methods: Persistant fever and tachycardia with thrombocytopenia and high d-dimer increased the index of suspicion.

Laparoscopic Repair of Pediatric Inguinal Hernia: Disconnection of the Hernial Sac Versus Disconnection and Peritoneal Closure.

Many techniques have been described for the treatment of pediatric inguinal hernia (PIH). Some authors emphasized the importance of disconnecting the sac, to create a scar, and to close the peritoneum mimicking the open approach. Others stated that peritoneal disconnection alone is enough for treatment of PIH regardless of the size of the internal ring.
