Rectal duplication with sciatic hernia.

Abstract

Rectal duplications represent 5% of all duplications in the alimentary tract, and they are very rarely diagnosed during the neonatal period. The authors present the method of investigation and the results of surgical treatment of a full-term neonate with a sciatic hernia containing a rectal duplication. The procedure started with three-port laparoscopy, but excision of the tubular duplication of the rectum was possible only by a transanal endorectal pull-through approach. The sciatic hernia was closed, and plastic sutures on the buttock finished the procedure. The coincidence of sciatic hernia with rectal duplication is extremely rare, and the method of treatment depends exclusively on the anatomical conditions.

Rectal duplication cyst mimicking rectal prolapse: A case report

“…Gastrointestinal duplications were initially believed to be more come in males, but it was later confirmed that there is an equal male to female ratio. [5] Colonic duplications account for 15% and rectal duplications account for 5% of all alimentary canal duplications. [1,7] The exact pathogenesis of duplications is unknown and multiple theories have been put forward.…”

“…Diagnosis starts with ultrasound examination, plain radiography of the abdomen, contrast enema, computed tomography, and MRI study. [5] Herein, we describe a case of rectal duplication that simulated rectal prolapse.…”

Successful manual reduction for ureterosciatic hernia: A case report

“…A search of English-language abstracts in PubMed and Igakuchuo-Zasshi through 2017, with keywords of “sciatic hernia” or “ureterosciatic hernia” revealed a total of 71 patients with sciatic hernias [1,[3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57], [58], [59], [60], [61], [62], [63], [64], [65], [66], [67], [68], [69], [70]]. Of 72 patients with a sciatic hernia including the present patient, for whom comprehensive data were found, there were 61 adults (age 29–93 years) (Table 1) and 11 children (age 2–660 days) (Table 2).…”
