We describe a young man who experienced malignant hyperpyrexia, probably triggered by suxamethonium and/or enflurane during his second operation for an epigastric hernia. His malignant hyperthermia susceptibility was later verified using the caffeine/halothane contracture test in vitro.
BACKGROUND
Fevers often arise after redo fundoplication with hiatal hernia repair. We reviewed our experience to evaluate the yield of a fever work-up in this population.
METHODS
We performed a retrospective review of children undergoing redo Nissen fundoplication with hiatal hernia repair between
We report the case of a 4.9-year-old boy with congenital hydrocephalus and obstruction of his shunt who just after the induction of anaesthesia suddenly developed generalized muscle rigidity that made intubation impossible. Because of temporary mydriasis the situation could hardly be differentiated
Primary appendicitis presenting in a hernia sac is uncommon. Diagnosis depends on a high index of suspicion. The authors present a case report of a 65-year-old male with a two-day history of a painful irreducible right inguinal mass; he denied abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, or chills.
Migration of hernia mesh into the bladder is a rare complication of inguinal hernioplasty. We present the case of an 85-year-old man who complained of hematuria and fever some 20 years after right hernioplasty. Cystoscopy and computed tomography revealed mesh migration into the right anterior wall
OBJECTIVE
Chiari I malformation is a well-known disease involving caudal descent of the cerebellar tonsils and is generally considered to be a congenital condition. Acquired Chiari I malformations as a result of various causes are well described. An unusual case is reported in which regression of an
A 75-year-old woman visited our hospital with left lumber pain and fever. Symptoms, and computed tomography imaging revealed left pyelonephritis. Then she was admitted to our hospital for treatment. She improved with tazobactam and piperacillin PIPC infusion immediately and was discharged from the
The complications of laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair at two institutions were reviewed to determine the rate and type of complications. A total of 76 patients underwent laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair between December 1992 and April 1996. Seventy-one of them had fundoplication (6
Diaphragmatic hernias occurring during pregnancy are an uncommon event. In very rare occasions, the clinical situation can suddenly worsen due to obstruction, torsion or infarction of the herniated viscera. Here, we describe a challenging case of a post-partum diaphragmatic hiatus hernia complicated
We describe the diagnosis of a large paraesophageal hernia that showed a risk of torsion in an 84-year-old man who had good health status and no clinical antecedents of interest until the previous night when he woke up and felt dyspnea, some pain located in the epigastrium and a fever spike. After a
There is mounting concern that internal hernia formation after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) for morbid obesity remains unrecognized until complications develop. In this report we present our experience with this complication. Out of 100 patients who underwent LRYGB we identified
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate results of an extraperitoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (e-RALP) series considering patients with previous laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR).
METHODS
We investigated our e-RALP database between March 2008 and August 2014. Age, prostate-specific
Paraesophageal hernia (PEH) is a rare form of hiatal hernia, which commonly occurs in elderly people. Although asymptomatic, it can be associated with severe life-threatening complications, such as gastric volvulus. Surgical treatment is reserved for symptomatic patients. Herein, we BACKGROUND
The Desarda repair technique of inguinal hernia repair introduced in 2001 is still not considered standard tissue based hernia repair technique. We compared the tissue based Desarda technique with standard Lichtenstein repair in treatment of primary inguinal hernia.
METHODS
187 cases were
Spigelian hernia (SH) develops in the spigelian aponeurosis. In some cases, its clinical symptoms may mimic those infrequently the diagnosis of sigmoid diverticulitis. Herein we report the case of a patient who for 12 years experienced a pain and a mass in the left lower quadrant that appeared after
