Abstract De Garengeot hernia is a rare subtype of femoral hernia whereby the vermiform appendix is located within the hernial sac. Even rarer is the presence of appendicitis within the hernia sac. De Garengeot’s hernia is difficult to diagnose pre-operatively and can prove technically difficult at operation particularly with regards to mobilization of the caecum and appendix in order to perform appendicectomy. Laparoscopic, open, with and without mesh repair of de Garengeot hernia have all been described in the literature with varying degrees of success. We present a case of an 82 year old lady presenting with an acutely painful right sided groin lump. CT scan revealed the presence of de Garengeot hernia with acute appendicitis. We describe in text and photo format our approach to the hernia repair, appendicectomy and provide a short review of the literature with regards to the different operative approaches to such a patient.

Prevotella Melaninogenica

Penile Fournier’s gangrene (FG) is very rare clinical entity, which is also known as penile necrotizing fasciitis or wet gangrene of the penis. It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and in the majority of the described cases it affects not only penis but also the adjacent organs and tissues (e.g., bladder, muscles, rectum, testis, and scrotum). We report a rare case of a previously healthy 68-year-old male, who presented with acute isolated penile Fournier’s gangrene. Pus culture was identified with pathogens Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus gordonii, and Prevotella melaninogenica. Prompt surgical exploration, fluid resuscitation, antibiotic treatment, and diligent postoperative care are the cornerstone in the successful treatment of this emergency with high mortality.

✓ The authors present a case of delayed myelopathy arising 8 years after a stab wound to the thoracic spine, with intradural retention of the knife tip. Following removal of the knife tip, the patient had a good recovery. A review of the literature documents eight additional cases of delayed myelopathy secondary to retained fragments from spinal stab wounds.

Abstract Objective: The aim of the study is the assessment of the analgesic efficacy of transversus abdominis plane block in patients undergoing general abdominal surgery. Methods: Pubmed, Scopus, and Medline databases were searched for papers evaluating the effect of transversus abdominis plane block. The primary and secondary outcomes of the studies were analyzed. Results: A total of 10 studies were analyzed, including 717 patients. Studies revealed that transversus abdominis plane block was associated with significantly reduced postoperative discomfort and reduced opioid consumption. Conclusion: The present study shows the clear benefit brought by the transversus abdominis plane block as part of multimodal analgesia, with a significant reduction of pain and higher comfort scores.

Aided Diagnosis

In this article, we discuss the use of computerbased systems in microscopy, focusing on cytological images. We initially present recent results on image segmentation, and then we argue that it makes sense moving from a structural approach to a semantic interpretation of micrographs. In this respect, we focus on the relevance of using CAD tools to overcome the current limitations of microscopy, investigating several peculiar objectives of such systems. A short review of the literature demonstrates that the development of a flexible CAD applicable to various working scenarios is a future trend in microscopy healthcare systems. To support our position, we briefly describe a tool that analyzes and classifies fluorescence images.
