Acute epiploic appendagitis - a rare differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.

Background: Acute epiploic appendagitis is a rare differential diagnosis of unclear or acute abdomen.

Aim: To describe - by means of a scientific case report - the extraordinary diagnosis of acute epiploic appendagitis along with contained diverticulitis and incarcerated herniation of the greater omentum into the hernial sac of a former trocar site (medical history, significant for laparoscopic ovarian cyst removal) in a 29-year-old female based on experiences obtained in the successful clinical case management, and on selective references from medical scientific literature.

Case Summary: A 29-year-old female was admitted with abdominal pain in the lower left quadrant.

Short-term outcome after robot-assisted hiatal hernia and anti-reflux surgery-is there a benefit for the patient?

Purpose: The robotic system was introduced to overcome the technical limitations of conventional laparoscopy. For complex oncological operations, it appears to offer further advantages. With regard to hiatal hernia repair, its role has yet to be determined.
