It was first described by Claudius Amyand in 1735, in a right inguinal hernia. A much rarer find is a left-sided Amyand’s hernia. This is a report of a case of complicated left-sided Amyand’s hernia in an eighteen month old male child. He presented as an emergency with an obstructed inguino-scrotal hernia and the diagnosis of Amyand’s hernia was made intra-operatively. He made uneventful recovery after surgery. Treatment options depend on findings during operation and clinical status of the patient.展开更多

Patients and Methods: A 68-year-old patient with progressive exacerbation of Miles’ postoperative intestinal obstruction was retrospectively analyzed. Conservative treatment was ineffective, and surgery was performed again. Surgery confirmed that the obstruction was caused by a pelvic floor peritoneal hernia. The original reconstruction peritoneal suture needle spacing was too wide, resulting in peritoneal hiatus. Results: The early postoperative intestinal obstruction in this patient was not caused by inflammatory intestinal obstruction, stenosis of stoma, and intestinal adhesion, but by the formation of pelvic floor peritoneal hernia. Conclusion: Pelvic floor peritoneal hernia should not be ignored in the early stage of intestinal obstruction after Miles’ operation. Improper suture during pelvic floor peritoneal reconstruction is the main cause of pelvic floor peritoneal hernia.展开更多
