[Amyand's hernia--case presentation and a discussion about diagnosis problems and surgical treatment].
2012
: We present the case of a 62 years old patient, with multiple associated tares, which was operated in emergency for an Amyand's hernia. The appendix was perforated and generated a big pussy collection (aprox. 200 ml) in the hernia sac. The impossibility of mobilization of the appendix, which was just 2/3 in the hernia sac, made us perform a median laparotomy for safety reasons. The position and fixation of the cecum made impossible the exteriorization of the appendix in the hernia sac. The postoperative evolution, under a complex supervision, was favorable. Due to the rarity of the clinical entity, of the specific issues and of the literature review, we decided to communicate the clinical observation.
