Mechanical Bowel Obstruction

Amyand’s hernia is rare condition defined as the inclusion of the appendixin an ingunal hernia sac, It is an uncommon and rare condition estimatedto be found in approximately 1 % of hernia. However, in just 0.08 %, thecondition is complicated by an acute appendicitis. It may present as atender inguinal or inguinoscrotal swelling. In patients presenting amyand’shernia with mechanical bowel obstruction, signs of acute appendicitis maynot be initially recognized. This was the case while our patient was insurgery, as signs suggestive of acute appendicitis were discovered and thepatient received appendectomy and herniotomy. Presently, We report a caseof Amyand’s hernia in a 9-month-old male, who presented as a left-sidedcongenital hernia with distended abdominal and pain in the left groin. Heunderwent appendectomy and herniotomy, which revealed that the herniasac containing elongated inflamed appendix appeared with some adhesionsto sac, lying in the inguinal canal.

Herniation of the bladder towards the inguinal canal is a rare condition. A 76-year-old male patient with long-term left groin swelling was admitted to the emergency clinic complaining of abdominal pain that started about 5 hours ago. The patient, whose abdominal examination was normal, had an incarcerated hernia in the left inguinal region. On superficial ultrasonography, intestinal loop herniation in the left inguinal canal and adjacent loculated fluid of 60x20 mm in size was observed. In the computed abdominal tomography, it was determined that the majority of the bladder had passed through the left inguinal canal and into the hernia sac. Lichtenstein method hernioplasty was applied to the patient who was taken to emergency surgery. Isolated bladder herniation is an extremely rare condition. Recognition of bladder herniation in the preoperative period may prevent possible complications during surgery.

Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency. A bowel obstruction due to the appendicitis is in most cases functional with a paralytic ileus mechanical bowel obstructions are rare or exceptional. We describe a rare case of a mechanical bowel obstruction due to a strangulation of the last ileal loop by the appendix.

Inguinal hernia with acute appendicitis known as Amyand’s hernia is uncommon. It may clinically manifest as acute scrotum, inguinal lymphadenitis, or strangulated hernia. The presentation of Amyand’s hernia with acute scrotum has been rarely described. Also, the manifestation of infarcted omentum in the inguinal hernia has been described in one case previously. However, the coexistence of perforated appendix with infarcted omentum in the hernia sac which manifests acute scrotum has not been described previously. Herein, we described a case of a 5-year-old boy, admitted with right tense, painful, and erythematous scrotum in the emergency room. The diagnosis of herniated appendicitis was performed preoperatively by ultrasound. Moreover, the ischemic omentum was confirmed during surgery.

Rare Entity

Amyand’s hernia is a rare entity where the appendix is trapped within inguinal canal. For even rarer are the cases where the appendix has perforated and caused an abscess into inguinal canal. Here we report a case where a male patient had Amyand’s hernia, acute appendicitis and abscess which were treated by laparotomy. We present the diagnostic process and intraoperative finding leading to diagnosis of Amyand’s hernia.

Variable Clinical Presentation

Amyand’s hernia is defined as protrusion of the vermiform appendix in an inguinal hernia sac. It is a rare entity with variable clinical presentation from normal vermiform appendix to abscess formation due to perforation of acute appendicitis. Although surgical treatment includes appendectomy and hernia repair, appendectomy in the absence of an inflamed appendix and use of a mesh in cases of appendectomy remain to be controversial. The aim of this study was to review the experience of mesh inguinal hernia repair plus appendectomy performed for Amyand’s hernia with noninflamed appendices. There were five male patients with a mean age of 42.4 ± 16.1 years in this retrospective study in which Amyand’s hernia was treated with mesh inguinal hernia repair plus appendectomy for noninflamed appendices. Patients with acute appendicitis and perforated vermiform appendix were excluded. There were four right sided and one bilateral inguinal hernia. Postoperative courses were uneventful. During the follow-up period (14.0 ± 7.7 months), there was no inguinal hernia recurrence. Mesh inguinal hernia repair with appendectomy can be performed for Amyand’s hernia in the absence of acute appendicitis. However, presence of fibrous connections between the vermiform appendix and the surrounding hernia sac may be regarded as a parameter to perform appendectomy.

Introduction: Amyand’s hernia is an extremely rare and atypical hernia that is difficult to diagnose clinically characterized by the herniation of the appendix into the inguinal sac. The aim of this report is to describe a case of Amyand’s hernia and highlights the importance of early CT scanning in reaching the exact and early diagnosis of Amyand’s hernia. Case report: We present a rare case of a 69-year-old female patient with a history of intermittent pain in the right inguinal region is see at the emergency surgical clinic. The patient underwent a CT scan of the abdomen and a small pelvis, and an inflamed appendix was diagnosed. The inflamed appendix is herniated in the inguinal hernia sac. Computed tomography was the only modality to diagnose the hernia sac contents preoperatively. Discussion: The reported incidence of Amyand’s hernia is less than 1% of all adult inguinal hernia cases. Acute appendicitis in Amyand’s hernia is even less common, with 0,1% of all cases of acute appendicitis. This hernia may be present without symptoms until the inflammation of the appendix may lead to incarceration, strangulation, necrosis, perforation, or rupture. Early symptoms include tenderness and inguinal swelling. Conclusions: Computer tomography helps make an accurate and timely diagnosis of Amyand’s hernia, thus avoiding complications from delayed surgery.

Amyand’s hernia is an inguinal hernia with trapped appendix; its frequency is approximately 1%. Acute appendicitis is a rare clinical presentation (0.1%) of Amyand’s hernia. It was first described by Claudius Amyand in 1735. We report a patient of Amyand’s hernia, three years of age, presented with right inguinoscrotal hernia. Right side groin discomfort was present. Herniotomy was performed revealing anon-inflamed appendix within the inguinal canal for which a classic appendectomy was done.

Appropriate Treatment

The vermiform appendix has varied locations ranging from retrocaecal, pelvic, paracolic to pre-ileal and postileal. Inguinal appendix or Amyand’s hernia is an extremely rare occurrence with potentially fatal complications. Rarer still is the presence of an inflamed appendix in the inguinal canal in the elderly. Due to its rarity, the pathophysiology and risk factors of the condition are still unclear. Some theorize that it is secondary to a patent processus vaginalis or perhaps the presence of a fibrous band between the hernia sac and testes.  Reported herein is a 64-year-old man who presented with a painful irreducible right inguinal swelling. An incarcerated inguinal hernia with the hernia sac harbouring an inflamed vermiform appendix was discovered at surgery. Appendectomy and a primary suture repair of the hernia were carried out. The postoperative period was uneventful. Surgical management of inflamed inguinal appendix carries a risk of septic complications. It is pertinent that every surgeon performing a hernia repair must be aware of this condition and the appropriate treatment modalities.
