Area of Science:

  • Abdominal Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Acute symptomatic hernia involves hernia incarceration alongside acute abdominal disease.
  • This condition presents diagnostic challenges in clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe cases of acute symptomatic hernia.
  • To evaluate diagnostic accuracy and mortality rates.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis.
  • Review of thirteen clinical cases presenting with acute symptomatic hernia.

Main Results:

  • Correct diagnosis rate was 60% in the described cases.
  • Mortality rate observed was 7%.

Conclusions:

  • Increased clinical awareness of acute symptomatic hernia is crucial.
  • Pre- and intraoperative recognition can improve outcomes, reducing mortality.
