“…[11] It was 22.2% in our series. According to Wang KS, [12] the prevalence of PVCP would be nearly 80% in newborns and the risk of symptomatic manifestations decrease with age, the peritoneo-vaginal canal may still close spontaneously after birth. Sarr A et al [8] in Dakar had counted 163 cases in five years.…”

“…The frequency of PVCP in adults could be explained by the modesty that generally affects the external genital diseases in Africa, but also by the low level of incomes of the popuPublished by Sciedu Press lation which does not allow them to consult in specialized hospitals. [10][11][12] Inguinal hernia in children may progress to strangulation, which in addition to intestinal lesions may result in ischemic testicular sequelae. [3,14] Thus, Uemura et al as well as Galinier et al recommended that any inguinal hernia diagnosed in an infant should be operated earlier in order to avoid strangulation.…”

Objective: To describe epidemiological, anatomo-clinical and therapeutic aspects of peritoneo-vaginal canal pathologies (PVCP). Methods: We performed a retrospective and descriptive study on the files of PVCP cases operated in Lomé-Commune Regional Hospital (Togo). The study data concerned: the age, the occuring mode, anatomo-clinical classification, the side and treatment outcomes. Results: 107 files were collected from January 2011 to December 2015. The average age was 9.2 ± 8 years with a range from 16 months to 47 years. Twelve patients were less than 2 years and 14 patients were adults. The main consultation motive was an intermittent and painless inguinal or inguino-scrotal swelling in 89 cases (83.18%). The PVCP was in the right side in 66 patients (61.68%) and bilateral in 8 patients (7.47%). Concerning anatomo-clinical types, inguinal or inguino-scrotal hernia were more frequent (62.6%). The treatment was surgical in all cases and the average hospital stay was 2.1 days. The operative follow-up was satisfactory in 94.3%. However, we noticed 4 cases of scrotal hematoma and 2 cases of parietal suppuration. The mortality rate after surgery was zero. One year back, we noticed two cases of testicular atrophy. Conclusions: Pathologies of the peritoneo-vaginal canal are frequent in our surgical practice. Inguinal hernia and inguino-scrotal hernia are more represented. The surgical treatment results are successful.

“…The repair of inguinal hernia requires an understanding of the embryology of descent of the testes and the formation of the processes vaginalis. The peritoneal layer which enveloping testis and named tunica vaginalis [14]. This peritoneum descends to groin and inguinal regions and two vents [deep inguinal foramens] are made in it, as two canalicullus named process vaginalis which descends from the vents in each side almost to the testis and opens there, then each is closed again forming a sac around each testis as Tunica vaginalis (Z).…”

Seyed Esmail Jorjani is one of the greatest Iranian physicians (1042-1136 AC), he has written a book entitled Zakhirah-I Khvarazm Shahi (known as Zachariah). This book is oldest medical encyclopedias written in Persian, it contains a complete subject about hernia. Jorjani described anatomy of anterior abdominal wall and its layers include peritoneum, process vaginalis and tunica vaginalis of testis. He argued about hernias from pathology and etiological point of view and classified abdominal hernias in thousand years ago. European Hernia Society classified the hernias into: lateral, medial and femoral (2007). Birindelli classified anterior abdominal hernias into groin hernias, ventral hernias (2017). Jorjani classified hernia into visceral, flatus, hydrocele (1130AC). The findings of this paper show the hernias subject of Zachariah has no scientific contradiction with new references.
