[The vermiformis appendix localization in the hernial sac]
Abstract:
Own experience was presented of surgical treatment of 22 patients, suffering abdominal wall hernia, in whom processus vermiformis (PV) was revealed in a hernial sac during herniotomy performance. In such cases PV was macroscopically not changed or had various grades of change--from hyperemia, cicatricial thickening and involvement into adhesive process to its pronounced inflammation and destruction. Hernioplasty in conjunction with appendectomy was performed in 11 patients, in 10 of them--allohernioplasty, in 1--plasty, using tissues of their own. According to histologic investigations data the expediency of appendectomy performance in a planned order in patients while pathologic changes in PV present was confirmed. Late results of surgical treatment were studied up in 19 (86%) patients. Hernial recurrence was not observed.

Appendicitis-I: Introduction
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...
Large Intestine
The ileocecal sphincter, a mucous membrane fold, guards the opening from the ileum to the large intestine. This valve permits material from the small intestine to pass into the large intestine. Attached to the ileocecal valve is the cecum. This small pouch, approximately 6 cm long, has a twisted, coiled tube known as...
