Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm in a De Garengeot Hernia: A Case Report.

De Garengeot's hernia, a femoral hernia containing an incarcerated appendix, is rarely encountered in clinical practice. We report a case of a 62-year-old woman presenting with a right groin lump. A computed tomography scan reported a right inguinal hernia containing fluid with no bowel involvement.

An experimentally successful new sphincter-conserving treatment for anal fistula.

Purpose: A new sphincter-conserving treatment was evaluated in a porcine model.

Methods: A total of 36 fistulas were created by procedures that have been published previously. At fistula induction a skin biopsy was taken from which to culture fibroblasts.
