Abstract An internal hernia is a protrusion of viscera through a congenital or acquired defect in the mesentery of peritoneum. They account for <0.9% of all small bowel obstructions [1] and ~4% of obstructions due to hernias [2]. We present a rare case of closed loop obstruction secondary to a band adhesion traversing the lower abdomen from a sigmoid colon appendage epiploicae to the right pelvic wall. A 82-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with nausea, vomiting and worsening right sided abdominal pain for 24 h, on the background of previous pelvic radiation and hysterectomy for uterine cancer. She was subsequently found to have a closed loop obstruction with 30 cm of ischemic bowel strangulated by a band adhesion from a sigmoid colon appendage epiploicae to the right abdominal wall. The patient underwent a successful small bowel resection with primary anastomosis and made an uneventful recovery.

Introduction. Femoral hernias are at high risk of strangulation due to the narrow femoral canal and femoral ring. This can lead to symptoms of obstruction or strangulation requiring emergency surgery and possible bowel resection. To our knowledge, there is only one previous published report of bilateral strangulated femoral hernia. We present our case of this phenomenon.Case Report. An 86-year-old woman presented with symptoms of small bowel obstruction. Examination revealed two tender lumps in the area of the femoral triangle. CT scan revealed bilateral femoral hernias. Both hernias were repaired and a small bowel resection on the right side was performed with side to side anastomosis. She made an uneventful recovery.Conclusion. Bilateral femoral hernias are a rare occurrence with only one reported case of bilateral strangulation. Our case highlights the importance of meticulous history taking and clinical examination as any delay in diagnosis will increase the risk of mortality and morbidity for the patient. Hernias should always be considered as a cause if one presents with symptoms of abdominal pain or obstruction.

Introduction: Broad ligament hernia was first reported post-autopsy by Quain in 1861. In a 1995 review article, only 61 cases had ever been reported. This paper presents a case report of broad ligament hernia and explores the literature surrounding this topic. Case Presentation: The patient presented with no significant past medical history, acute lower abdominal pain (several hours), nausea, and vomiting. Clinical examination showed a heart rate of 85 beats per minute; normal temperature, blood pressure, and respiratory rate; and a mildly distended abdomen with tenderness across the right lower quadrant. A plain abdominal X-ray showed dilated small bowel loops, and a blood test showed leukocytosis. Urgent diagnostic laparoscopy showed a broad ligament strangulated hernia with small bowel infarction. Reduction of the small bowel, resection, and side-side anastomosis were performed. The patient had an uneventful recovery, and follow up reported no postoperative complications. Conclusion: Laparoscopic management of small bowel obstruction due to broad ligament internal hernia is a safe and effective option.

Adhesive Intestinal Obstruction

Perineal hernia with bowel gangrene is uncommon but known complication of laparoscopic extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE). We present a rare case of closed loop small bowel obstruction with bowel gangrene secondary to an incarcerated perineal hernia that developed 7 years after an ELAPE. Intraoperatively, we found a definitive transition point due to adhesions in pelvis and a closed loop obstruction of the distal small bowel at different site with gangrenous intestine. She was managed successfully surgically with adhesiolysis and fixation of defect with biological mesh. Prevalence of perineal hernias will rise in future because of the increasing cases of ELAPE, in which no repair of pelvic floor is performed. The need of follow-up of these operations and more reporting of such cases are important in increasing awareness of these complications. Patients should be made aware of such complications and should seek urgent medical care.

A 56-year-old man presented acutely with abdominal pain and raised inflammatory markers. Initial CT images demonstrated acute inflammation in the right upper quadrant surrounding a high-density linear structure. The appearance was of a chicken bone causing a contained small bowel perforation. This was managed conservatively with intravenous antibiotics and the patient was discharged 10 days later. The same patient returned to the hospital 2 months later, once again with an acute abdomen. CT imaging on this occasion showed distal migration of the chicken bone as well as free gas and fluid indicative of a new small bowel perforation. The patient underwent an emergency laparotomy, washout and small bowel resection. No foreign body was found at laparotomy or in the histopathology specimen. The postoperative course was complicated by an anastomotic leak. A further CT on that admission demonstrated that the chicken bone had migrated to the rectum!

Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality affecting the gastrointestinal tract, affecting 4% of the general population. It is classically located on the antimesenteric border of the ileum within 100 cm of the ileocaecal valve. Complications may include haemorrhage, bowel obstruction, diverticulitis, perforation and malignancy. This report explores the case of intussusception in an adult, in association with a mesenteric Meckel’s diverticulum and adjacent benign polyp. A 40-year-old man presented with acute abdominal pain, affecting the central abdomen and both flanks. CT imaging revealed small bowel intussusception, with either a Meckel’s diverticulum or polyp acting as a lead point. Intraoperatively, the intussusception had already resolved; however, an inflamed outpouching was identified on the mesenteric border of the ileum, with a firm mass palpable within the bowel lumen. A 70 mm small bowel resection and primary anastomosis were performed. Histopathological analysis confirmed an inflamed Meckel’s diverticulum as well as an adjacent diverticulum comprising a benign polyp.

Unusual Phenomenon

A 34-year-old man presented with acute severe left-sided abdominal and flank pain with associated postprandial nausea and vomiting. CT imaging revealed findings suspicious for a closed loop small bowel obstruction. Intraoperative findings were that of a left paraduodenal hernia (of Landzert) secondary to a mesenteric defect immediately posterior to the ascending branch of the left colic artery. The defect was closed via minilaparotomy. Unfortunately, his postoperative course was complicated by small bowel obstruction which required further laparotomy and adhesiolysis. The patient eventually made a good recovery. Here, we present a rare case of intestinal obstruction and discuss the aetiologies and management of this unusual phenomenon.

Penile Metastases

Although lung cancer has a high propensity for distant metastatic disease, penile metastases from primary lung neoplasms are considered particularly rare. A 71-year-old male presented to our hospital with a rapidly enlarging hard palpable penile mass. MR imaging demonstrated two penile masses centered in the left and right corpus cavernosa. Subsequent CT imaging revealed a spiculated pulmonary mass in the right upper lobe with PET/CT, MRI, and surgical exploration, demonstrating evidence of metastases to the left adrenal gland, right subscapularis muscle, brain, and small bowel. Tissue sampling of lesions in the small bowel, right subscapularis muscle, and penis demonstrated histopathology consistent with an adenosquamous carcinoma which in combination with the appearance of the right upper lobe mass on PET/CT imaging suggested the patient’s lung cancer as the primary lesion. Prior to our case, pulmonary adenosquamous carcinoma metastasizing to the penis has only been reported once in the literature. Herein, we report a rare case of penile metastases as the presenting sign of metastatic pulmonary adenosquamous carcinoma characterized with PET/CT and MR imaging.

Diagnosis And Treatment

Aim. To improve treatment outcomes in patients with acute bowel obstruction. Methods. 1479 patients with bowel obstruction (75.7% - small bowel obstruction, 24.3% - large bowel obstruction) were examined. Patients were treated according to the local treatment protocol, 1003 (68%) patients underwent surgery. Results. The following procedures were performed at the stage of bowel obstruction diagnosis and treatment: conventional adhesiolysis was performed in 425 cases, laparoscopic adhesiolysis - in 425 cases, small bowel resection with further anastomosis - in 151 cases, small bowel resection with ileostomy - in 15 cases, phytobezoar fragmenting - in 56 cases, enterotomy and phytobezoar removal - in 2 cases. In patients with large bowel obstruction the following procedures were performed: large bowel segmental resection with further anastomosis - in 38 cases, large bowel segmental resection with colostomy - in 38 cases, large bowel partial resection with colostomy - in 54 cases, right hemicolectomy with primary anastomosis - in 43 cases, left hemicolectomy with primary anastomosis - in 58 cases, manual intussusception reduction - in 65 cases, side anastomosis - in 31 cases. In 69 cases of bowel obstruction primary anastomosis was performed using the metal ring frame. Conclusion. To reduce the rate of complications, the need for the surgery should be diagnosed as soon as possible, coagulopathies should be compensated, and surgery tactics should be defined, including the primary anastomosis formation.

Case report 71-year-old male was admitted because of crampy abdominal pain associated with nausea. There was no history of previous intraabdominal operations. On examination, the patient had obvious abdominal distention with peritoneal signs localized in the right iliocecal region. Bowel sounds were decreased. X-ray films showed multiple air fluid levels in the small intestine. Small-bowel obstruction was diagnosed and exploratory laparotomy was performed. The small intestine was heavily dilatated, overflowed by fluids and air because of a vermiform appendix wrapped around the terminal ileum and its mesenterium, and by its tip adhered to the ileocecal recessus. An appendectomy was performed, the small bowel was intubated using an enterodecompressive probe. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of secondary superficial appendicitis and hemorrhagic periappendicitis. The convalescence was not delayed. There were no postoperative complications. Conclusions This clinical report shows an unusual but possible very rare complication of atypically located appendix in an adult: a strangulated closed-loop obstruction of the terminal ileum. Key words: appendix, atypical positioning, acute ileal obstruction

Rare Diagnosis

Para-duodenal hernias are rare causes of intestinal obstruction and strangulation, are difficult to diagnose preoperatively. It is a rare congenital anomaly which occurs due to defect in the rotation of gut. It is usually discovered incidentally at radiological study or at laparotomy. Here we report of right para-duodenal hernia presented in emergency with signs and symptoms of acute intestinal obstruction. Pre-operative Computer Tomography cuts show hernia sac, filled with loops of small bowel crowded in the right hypochondrium suggesting the rare diagnosis of Waldeyer’s hernia. He required resection of the gangrenous segment and primary anastomosis. The mouth of the sac was obliterated with suturing to the posterior abdominal wall. The patient was discharged uneventfully on 7th post-operative day.
