Diaphragmatic Hernias

Background. Morgagni hernias are rare in adults and may be asymptomatic but, nevertheless, require surgical repair, with laparoscopy offering an excellent option. The colon dislodged into the chest through diaphragmatic hernias may be affected by various disorders, including malignancies. Case Report. A 70-year-old obese male presented with fatigue and shortness of breath. CT scan showed the right colon lodged in the chest through a Morgagni hernia. He was anaemic, and colonoscopy revealed a colon cancer. He underwent combined laparoscopic hernia repair with bioabsorbable mesh and right hemicolectomy. Recovery was uneventful, but the patient died 5 months later from chemotherapy-associated cardiac failure. Literature review revealed eight similar published cases, and including ours, there were seven Morgagni hernias, one traumatic hernia, and one Bochdalek hernia. Median age of the five men and four women was 66 (range 49-85) years. Surgical approach was thoracotomy (2), laparotomy (5), and laparoscopy (2). Conclusion. Outcome of the rare condition is determined by the course of the colon cancer. Hernia repair was successful in ours and all other published cases. A combined laparoscopic approach can be safely done.

Laparoscopic hernia repair has opened a new era in hernia surgery shifting paradigms from anterior to posterior approaches. This has exposed surgeons to new anatomical perspective, tehnical challenges and clinical implication. We present the case of a 53-year-old patient admitted to surgery in outpatient conditions with the diagnosis of bulky inguinal-scrotum hernia. Transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) repair was our option to solve the inguinal parietal defect. Intraoperatively, in the peritoneal cavity, lateral to the epigastric vessels, the parietal flaccid defect was revealed, communicating with the right scrotum cavity, with clear evidence of testicle, suggestive of external congenital oblique hernia. Peritoneal sectioning and take-off, with Cooper's, spermatic vessels and the relevant channel, were the precursors of the dissection and 360-degree take-off of the herniated sac, with the support of the herniated suture ligament, followed by in-line, and the abandonment of the distal, open, unbounded end. The application of the 3D-MAX mesh, fixed with Capsure at the Cooper ligament, preperitoneal drainage and closure of the resorbable thread peritoneum were the endpoints of surgical intervention. The postoperative progression was favorable with discharge on the 2nd postoperative day. Control at 30 days postoperatively did not identify possible complications, it presented without painful accusations, without suggestive elements for hydrocele and without signs of relapse. The laparoscopic approach, even in the case of bulky parietal defects, remains a recommended treatment option with the best results, but largely depending on the surgical team experience.

A 28-month-old first lactation dairy cow presented as ‘oestrus not observed’ and transrectal ultrasound showed a hyperechoic mass on the right ovary. The mass continued to grow despite treatment, and 8 weeks later a right-sided ovariectomy was performed. A single, large, cavitated mass was found on gross pathological examination with histopathology confirming ovarian abscessation and oophoritis, a rare condition in cattle.

Introduction. Cystic echinococcosis or hydatid disease is a parasitic disease, zoonosis, and is most commonly caused by Echinococcus granulosus larvae. It mainly occurs in endemic areas. The most common localization is the liver. Case outline. In this paper, we will present our experience with a 67-year-old female patient diagnosed with an echinococcal cyst in the right lobe of the liver, as confirmed by computed tomography examination of the abdomen. The patient underwent laparoscopic partial pericystectomy with omentoplasty. The operation went without complications, as well as the postoperative period. Conclusion. Laparoscopic partial pericystectomy is a safe and effective treatment of available hepatic hydatid cysts. Considering all the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic partial pericystectomy of hepatic hydatid cysts may be the treatment of choice, over the classical open surgery approach.

Monomelic amyotrophy (MA) is a rare condition in which neurogenic amyotrophy is restricted to an upper or lower limb. Usually sporadic, it usually has an insidious onset with a mean evolution of 2 to 4 years following first clinical manifestations, which is, in turned, followed by stabilization. We report a case of 20-years-old man who presented slowly progressive amyotrophy associated with proximal paresis of the right upper limb, which was followed by clinical stabilization 4 years later. Eletroneuromyography revealed denervation along with myofasciculations in various muscle groups of the right upper limb. We call atention to this rare location of MA, as well as describe some theories concerning its pathophysiology .

Duplication of the vas deferens is a rare anomaly, defined as the presence of two distinct vasa deferentia within one spermatic cord, with only 28 cases reported worldwide since 1959. We report the case of a 63-year-old man with a duplicate vas deferens, presenting with abdominal pain from bowel obstruction secondary to incarcerated inguinal hernia. Spermatic cord dissection during hernioplasty revealed duplication of the vas deferens within the right spermatic cord. Doppler ultrasonography confirmed absence of waveforms in both vasa deferentia with arterial signal in the accompanying vessel. The hernia was repaired without complication. This report emphasizes recognition of duplicate vas deferens in avoiding iatrogenic injury and optimizing surgical outcome.

Introduction: Although rare, iatrogenic cases of pneumopericardium have been documented following laparoscopic surgery and mechanical ventilation. Electrocardiogram (ECG) changes, including ST-segment depressions and T-wave inversions, have been documented in cases of pneumopericardium, and can mimic more concerning causes of chest pain including myocardial ischemia or pulmonary embolism. Case Report: This unique case describes a patient who presented with chest pain and ST-segment changes on ECG hours after a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair and who was found to have pneumopericardium. Conclusion: While iatrogenic pneumopericardium is often self-limiting and rarely requires intervention, it is critical to differentiate pneumopericardium from other etiologies of chest pain, including myocardial ischemia and pulmonary embolism, to prevent unnecessary intervention.

Abstract Background Multiple small-bowel diverticulosis comprises a rare entity with probable underestimated incidence, and that may be the reason why it is sometimes overlooked when managing cases with peritonitis. Case report In the present paper, we report the case of a 76-year-old male presenting abdominal pain and fever in an acute setting. Computed tomography (CT) scans revealed jejunal thickening and numerous images of saccular addition that were interpreted as jejunoileal diverticulitis. After an initial period of clinical treatment, surgical management was indicated based on a worsening clinical picture and the presence of an extraluminal focus of gas detected in a subsequent CT scan. Through a laparoscopic approach, multiple small-bowel diverticula and a tamponade perforation were found. A segmental intestinal resection was performed, and the patient was discharged after a ten days. Conclusions Multiple jejunal diverticulosis is a rare condition that should be remembered in the setting of an acute abdomen. As it prevails among older patients, early diagnosis with radiological aid is crucial to establish the most adequate management, including intestinal resection, if necessary.
