まとめ
この症例報告は、男性患者における極めてまれな巨大切開ヘルニアに右腎臓が含まれていた症例を詳述する。腹壁ヘルニアにおけるまれな後腹膜臓器の関与を強調し、大幅な減量後にヘルニアは正常に修復された。
科学分野:
- 腹部外科学
- ヘルニア修復
- 放射線学
背景:
- 切開腹壁ヘルニアは腹部手術後に一般的であり、患者の最大20%に影響を与えます。
- 腹壁ヘルニアにおける後腹膜臓器の関与は例外的にまれであり、文書化された症例はほとんどありません。
- この症例は、試験的開腹術後の腎臓を含む巨大切開ヘルニアを強調しています。
研究 の 目的:
- 腎臓を含む巨大切開ヘルニアの極めてまれな症例を報告すること。
- 後腹膜臓器が関与する複雑性腹壁ヘルニアの管理について論じること。
- 大きな慢性ヘルニア欠損における術中認識の重要性を強調すること。
主な方法:
- 大規模な腹壁ヘルニアの既往歴を持つ49歳男性患者を評価しました。
- CT画像は、ヘルニア嚢内に右腎臓を有する巨大な腹壁ヘルニアを明らかにしました。
- 患者は、大幅な減量後にメッシュ配置による開放ヘルニア修復を受けました。
主要な成果:
- 巨大な切開ヘルニアと診断され、結腸、小腸、および右腎臓が含まれていました。
- 右腎臓は時計回りの回転と部分的な閉塞を示しました。
- メッシュ配置による開放ヘルニア修復後、患者は良好に回復しました。
結論:
- この症例は、切開腹壁ヘルニア内への後腹膜臓器、特に腎臓のヘルニアのまれさを強調しています。
- 管理には、外科的修復前の患者の大幅な減量が必要でした。
- 特に肥満外科手術後の患者では、大きな慢性ヘルニア欠損に対する術中認識の向上が不可欠です。

External Anatomy of the Kidney
3.4K
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs in the human body that play a critical role in maintaining overall health. They filter out waste products from the blood, regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and stimulate the production of red blood cells.
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space on either side of the vertebral column, protected posteriorly by the 11th and 12th ribs. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left owing to the presence of the liver...

The kidneys are essential organs in the human body, performing a myriad of tasks that maintain homeostasis and overall health.
Anatomical Position and Dimensions
The kidneys are retroperitoneal organs positioned against the posterior abdominal wall on either side of the spine, roughly between the twelfth thoracic and third lumbar vertebrae. Each kidney is typically 10-12 cm long, 5-6 cm wide, and 3-4 cm thick, weighing about 150 grams.

Nursing Assessment of the Genitourinary System II: Inspection and Palpation

The nursing assessment of the genitourinary (GU) system involves a systematic inspection and palpation to identify abnormalities in the kidneys, bladder, and surrounding structures.InspectionMouth: Inspect for signs of kidney dysfunction, such as stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth) and ammonia breath, which may occur in advanced kidney disease due to the buildup of urea, breaking down into ammonia.Skin: Check for pallor, which could indicate anemia caused by kidney disease. Look for...

Ureters
1.5K
The ureters are retroperitoneal tubes located on either side of the vertebral column. They are responsible for transporting urine from each kidney to the urinary bladder. These tubes have thick walls and are approximately 25-30 cm long. Their diameter is around 10 mm at the renal pelvis, gradually narrowing to 1 mm as the ureter obliquely enters the posterior bladder wall through the ureteric orifices. The shape of these orifices is slit-like, which helps to prevent urine backflow toward the...

Kidney Structure
74.9K
The kidneys are two large bean-shaped organs located in the upper abdomen. They filter the blood several times a day to remove toxins and rebalance water and electrolytes of the circulatory system via the renal veins. The kidneys receive blood directly from the heart via the renal arteries. These arteries enter the kidney at the hilum, the concave surface of the bean, where they branch and divide into smaller vessels and capillaries.
