Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Inguinal hernia is quite common in surgical practice. However, sliding hernia is rare with an incidence of 2–5%. The exact diagnosis of sliding hernia is made on the operating table. We report the case of sliding hernia containing transverse colon and its greater omentum as contents and appendix, caecum, ascending colon forming the sliding component.
Case Report: A 70-year-old man presented with huge right sided groin hernia. Under general anesthesia reduction of the hernia was tried but it could not be reduced fully. Hence, very carefully the sac was opened and was found to contain transverse colon and greater omentum with appendix, caecum, ascending colon forming it's posterior wall. The contents were reduced and the sac was closed carefully. Posterior wall was reinforced with prolene mesh. Patient was discharged after seven days. Conclusion: Sliding hernia is a rare entity and those containing transverse colon, ascending colon, caecum and appendix are even rarer. Care must be taken to identify the contents of the hernia to avoid inadvertent injury to the structures. | |
