Is Concomitant Hernioraphy with Mesh Safe in Appendectomy for Amyand Hernia?
Öz
Objective: Amyand hernia, defined by the presence of appendix vermiformis in the inguinal hernia sac, constitutes approximately 1% of the inguinal hernias. This condition can be determined as acute appendicitis at an emergency department visit or by incidental preoperative examination. The safety of using synthetic grafts in the repair of hernia and simultaneous appendectomy in patients with Amyand hernia is still controversial. In this study, the results of patients who were diagnosed with Amyand hernia and underwent surgical treatment in our clinic were evaluated.
Material and Methods: Amyand hernia cases that were followed up and treated between January 1 and December 31, 2016 were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic data of the patients, preoperative laboratory tests, radiological examinations, peroperative treatment approaches and postoperative wound site evaluations were noted.
Results: All of the patients were male and their mean age was 48 (26-68) years. While elective inguinal hernia operation was planned in 3 of the patients (42.8%), 4 (57.2%) patients were operated urgently due to incarcerated right inguinal hernia. Acute appendicitis was present in 3 (75%) of the 4 patients operated due to incarcerated right inguinal hernia, whereas appendiceal inflammation was not detected in the other patient (25%). Appendectomy was performed in addition to Lichtenstein procedure with prolene mesh.
Conclusion: Amyand hernia is a rare condition that is often diagnosed during surgery. The use of synthetic mesh in hernia repair simultaneous with appendectomy in a patient with Amyand hernia is safe.
