Article Synopsis
- De Garengeot hernia is a rare condition where the appendix is trapped in a femoral hernia, and this study examines its clinical and pathological features.
- The research involved six patients over nearly two decades, with a 3.2% incidence rate among femoral hernias, predominantly affecting elderly women with various forms of appendicitis.
- Diagnosis prior to surgery is challenging, and many patients present with serious appendicitis, indicating that urgent intervention is often necessary based on the condition's severity.
Purpose: Several studies have analyzed late complications associated with totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP) implantation via the internal jugular vein (IJV); however, the reported results are inconclusive. The aim of the study is to elucidate the characteristics and risk factors of late complications associated with TIVAP implantation via the IJV.
Methods: The study included 482 patients who underwent TIVAP implantation for long-term chemotherapy and/or nutritional support between April 2012 and December 2017.
