Abstract

Insights

Internal hernias are rare but serious conditions. This case highlights an internal hernia from an Appendices epiploicae (AE) ring causing small bowel gangrene, successfully treated surgically.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Internal hernias are uncommon but can lead to severe complications.
  • Herniation through an Appendices epiploicae (AE) ring is an exceptionally rare etiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of internal hernia due to an AE ring.
  • To emphasize the importance of prompt diagnosis and management of internal hernias.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a 58-year-old male with internal hernia.
  • Surgical intervention involving laparotomy, bowel resection, and anastomosis.

Main Results:

  • Successful surgical treatment of internal hernia with gangrenous small bowel.
  • Favorable post-operative recovery.

Conclusions:

  • Internal hernias, despite rarity, require urgent attention.
  • Early intervention is crucial to prevent adverse outcomes in internal hernia cases.

Appendicitis-I: Introduction

The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
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...

Appendicitis-II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

Diagnosing and managing appendicitis requires a structured and comprehensive approach that spans from initial assessment to postoperative care. Here is an overview of the process:
Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...

Muscles of the Abdomen01:21

Muscles of the Abdomen

The abdominal wall encircles the abdominal cavity, providing flexible protection and shielding the internal organs from harm. It is bordered at the top by the xiphoid process and costal margins, at the back by the vertebral column, and at the bottom by the pelvic bones and inguinal ligament. The abdominal wall is divided into two regions — the anterolateral and posterior regions.
Anterolateral Region
The anterolateral region comprises five paired muscles classified into the lateral and...
