Femoral hernias, which are less common than inguinal hernias and more often found in females, occasionally contain more than just small intestine and omentum. Uncommon contents reported in femoral hernia sacs include caecum, appendix, Meckel's diverticulum (Littre hernia), testis, ovary, transverse colon and even stomach or kidney. Strangulation of femoral hernias containing appendix, small intestine and caecum, and Meckel's diverticulum are well reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of a male patient having bilateral femoral hernia with bilateral recurrent inguinal hernia. A huge, right-sided femoral hernia contained terminal ileum, appendix, caecum and ascending colon, which were irreducible but neither obstructed nor strangulated. The patient was operated on with a Pfannenstiel incision together with an infrainguinal incision. For reduction of content, an inguinal ligament was also incised. Bilateral preperitoneal, polypropylene mesh hernioplasty was performed along with rolled plug placement in the right femoral canal. The patient had an uneventful post operative recovery and no recurrence in 6 months of follow up.
Aims and Objectives: 1) To compare safety and operative complications in abdominal versus vaginal routes of hysterectomy. 2) To compare the length of stay in hospital with regard to the route of hysterectomy. 3) To compare the postoperative morbidity in abdominal versus vaginal routes of hysterectomy. Methodology: The study is a prospective study conducted in the department of obstetrics and Gynecology. Civil hospital, Ahmedabad between the period of Jan 2016 to 2017. Of 100 patients. Fifty patients who underwent hysterectomy by vaginal route are taken as study group A, and the remaining 50 patients who underwent by the abdominal route are taken as study group B. Inclusion criteria for hysterectomy are: 1. Uterine benign diseases such as fibroids, adenomyosis and CIN. 2. Gynecological symptoms that justified total hysterectomy. 3. Patients without fertility requirement. 4. Patients who gave informed consent to participate. Exclusion criteria for hysterectomy are: 1. Uterine size more than 12 week of gravid uterus. 2. Highly restricted uterine mobility. 3. Malignancy 4. Patient with fertility requirement. Results: Majority of women undergoing hysterectomy were in age group of 30-50 years; postmenopausal age group women were less;13 NDVH and 5 in AH. Majority of the women were multipara in both age groups. Menorrhagia was found to be major indication with 42 in NDVH and 40 in AH. There is much significant difference in the postoperative pain in both groups with less in NDVH group. There is not much significant difference in blood loss in both the groups. Postoperative complications were more with AH. Conclusion: Thus, it can be concluded that NDVH is feasible, safe and provide more patient comfort without increasing the duration of surgery and other post –operative complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
