The incidence of tuberculosis is increasing worldwide, especially in developing countries. The prevalence of abdominal tuberculosis has been found to be as high as 12% in people with extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Peritoneal thickening and intestinal adhesions can occur in patients with abdominal tuberculosis. Inguinal hernias are extremely rare in people with abdominal tuberculosis; only 11 cases have been reported in the English-language literature, half of which involved pediatric patients. No definitive guideline on the management of such cases is available. In this report, we describe the unusual finding of an incarcerated inguinal hernia in an adult with abdominal tuberculosis and propose a therapy to treat this complicated disease based on our successful experience.

Cryptorchidism is known to occur in 0.18-3.6% of the population. Impingement of an undescended testicle in the inguinal canal has been described in 1.9% of cases as one of the complications of cryptorchidism along with volvulus and malignant degeneration (up to 15-40%). In 20-80% of cases, cryptorchidism is combined with inguinal hernia. Endocrine insufficiency in cryptorchidism occurs in 4-5% of cases.

9 children aged 4 to 14 years underwent a right-sided inguinal hernia repair, at the same time, a vermiform appendix was found in the hernial sac. All patients were hospitalized with a diagnosis of «Congenital right-sided inguinoscrotal hernia», bilateral hernias were not observed. Objectively, there were all signs of the disease, all hernias were reducible. The presence of the appendix in the hernial sac before the operation was not diagnosed either clinically or by ultrasound. The contents of the hernial sac had a thickened and long vermiform appendix, a greater omentum, and in two cases – a cecum of the type of sliding hernia. The children were operated on under general anesthesia: appendectomy and plastic surgery of posterior wall of inguinal canal were performed. No complications were observed in the postoperative period.

The author finds that the number of inguinal hernias in early childhood, due to incomplete overgrowth of the processus vaginalis peritonei, greatly prevails over the number of the same in older children. Some of these hernias heal spontaneously due to overgrowth of proc. vaginalis and lengthening of the inguinal canal itself. Bandage treatment, even in the most cultured setting, cannot guarantee with absolute certainty the budding of the hernia sac.

Colonoscopy is both a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows examination and treatment of the rectum, colon, and the distal portion of the ileum. The risk of serious complications following colonoscopy is usually low. Hernial complications are rare after colonoscopy, and are probably promoted by an increased abdominal pressure and patient’s physical constitution. Inguinal hernia usually includes intestine and not parts of the urinary tract. In literature there no studies reporting cases of bladder herniation after a colonoscopy procedure. We presented a case of an 84-years-old man admitted to our emergency department reporting scrotum edema after a colonoscopy procedure; the abdominal computerized tomography scan showed a bladder herniation through the inguinal canal into the scrotum. The hernia was not manually reducible and required surgical correction.

The purpose of the study is experimental development of preperitoneal inguinal hernioplasty with synthetic mesh, according assessment of the need of its fixation to the tissues. Materials and methods. An inguinal hernia was simulated on human cadaveric material. The study used 27 male corpses. Two inguinal hernias were modeled on one corpse: on one side - indirect, on the other - direct. A polypropylene mesh (standard density, 15 x 15 cm) was placed in the preperitoneal space. The endoprosthesis was impacted from the side of the abdominal cavity by a special designed device. The effect of a peak intra-abdominal pressure of 200 mm Hg was simulated. The degree of displacement of the reticular endoprosthesis into the inguinal canal was estimated at the moment of peak pressure on it from inside the abdominal cavity. For a simulated indirect inguinal hernia, two variants of the technique were considered: with fixation of the endoprosthesis to the underlying tissues and without fixation. For the modulated direct inguinal hernia, the following options were considered: non-fixative, with fixation at one point to the pubis and with plasty of the transverse fascia. Results. When modeling preperitoneal plasty of a direct inguinal hernia, there is a pronounced displacement of the endoprosthesis into the inguinal canal with a non-fixing plasty, unlike the method with transverse fascia plasty or fixation to the pubis. In indirect inguinal hernia, there was no significant displacement of the endoprosthesis in both considered variants. Conclusions. According to the obtained results, conclusions were drawn on the need for additional plasty of the transverse fascia or fixation of the endoprosthesis at a single point in a direct inguinal hernia. With indirect inguinal hernia in the experiment, no significant difference in the displacement of the mesh endoprosthesis into the inguinal canal was obtained with and without fixation.
