Hernial appendicitis

Apendicitis herniaria

Valls, Alberto - di Leoni, Francisco J

Resumen:

Comments are made on acute hernial  appendicitis. It is mentioned that, normally, diagnosis is strangulated hernia, although in this particular case mention shouldbe made .of the scarce general repercussion and frequent absence or very slight variance in fever. Thesurgical approach, when the appendix is whole in the sac, is appendectomy through the hernial sac. If the base is within the abdomen, the approach must be through the abdomen so as to secure the base f the appendix, removing it immediately through the hernia! sac. If it is an hernia! appendicular peritonitis, the sac is drained and the visceral content is not reducedwithin the abdomen, leaving the hernia treatment for a future instance.


A propósito de una observación personal, se hacen algunas consideraciones sobre las apendicitis agudas herniarias. Se destaca que en genera.1 s ehace diagnóstico d e hernia estrangulada, aunque hay algunos hechos (!lle llaman la atención: la escasa repercusión general y la ausencia frecuente de fiebre o su poca entidad com,o en el caso relatado. E! tratamiento quirúrgico, cuando el apéndice está íntegro en el saco, es !a apendicectomía por vía herniaria. Si su base está dentro del abdomen,es necesario ha.cer un abordaje abdominal separado, para ligar el meso y la base del apéndice, para retirar luego .el mismo por el saco herniario. Si ha,y una peritonitis apendicular herniaria, se deja drenado el saco y no se reduce el contenido visceral dentro del abdomen, dejándose el tratamiento de la hernia para otra oportunidad
