Article Synopsis
- - Para-duodenal hernias account for 53% of internal hernias, mostly occurring on the left side, with rare symptoms in adults and a higher prevalence in males; right para-duodenal hernias are particularly uncommon and often discovered during emergency surgeries.
- - A 71-year-old male experienced severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, leading to a CT scan that identified a right para-duodenal hernia, resulting in an emergency surgery where the hernia was confirmed.
- - Internal hernias, while rare, lead to significant complications like bowel obstruction and ischemia; due to the patient's extensive symptoms at presentation, an exploratory laparotomy was chosen as the surgical approach, ultimately resulting in a full recovery.
Article Synopsis
- Internal hernias are a rare but serious cause of small intestinal obstructions, accounting for 0.6-5.8% of cases, with a small percentage being congenital trans mesenteric types.
- A case study of a 38-year-old male highlights the urgency of surgical intervention after presenting with severe abdominal symptoms, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of a strangulated trans mesenteric hernia.
- Timely diagnosis and surgery are crucial to prevent severe complications like bowel gangrene; laparotomy is the recommended treatment to address these emergencies and prevent future occurrences.
A traumatic femur fracture is a significant cause of morbidity, affecting one to three million individuals annually. The present is the first study investigated the epidemiological characteristics, risk factors, classification, mechanisms of injury, and early management of femoral fractures in Somalia. This retrospective epidemiological study included all patients with a femur fracture who were admitted for four years between November 2018 and December 2022 to the orthopedic and trauma surgery department.

The present is the first study that examines the correlation between FNAC and histopathology in diagnosing thyroid cancers at a tertiary hospital in Somalia.
Method: This study included 231 patients with thyroid lesions who underwent pre-operative FNACs and histopathologic examination over five years.
Colonic intussusception due to lipoma is extremely rare. Very few cases were reported in the literature of cecal lipoma leading to the intussusception of the whole proximal colon till the rectum. We report a rare case of a 39-year-old female patient with cecal lipoma causing colo-colonic intussusception involving the entire length of the proximal colon and the overall mass prolapsed into the pelvis that could be palpated in rectal examination.

Because of limited resources, most patients in low-income countries experience delayed diagnosis and treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics, antimicrobial susceptibility profile, and outcome of patients with complicated IAI at a tertiary hospital in Somalia.
