Abstract

The most common age groups for indirect inguinal hernias are infants, with a low prevalence in girls. It is very uncommon for uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes to be present in hernial sac altogether. Since strangulation and necrosis of these organs may result in serious illness and infertility, early detection and surgery are essential. The most useful technique for diagnosing and differentiating infant inguinal hernias is ultrasound. We sought to illustrate surgical features of a two months old female infant, delivered by caesarean section, presented to the Paediatric Surgery Emergency Department at Mayo Hospital Lahore on 8th March 2024 with irreducible mass in left groin. The diagnosis was made via ultrasound, which revealed an indirect incarcerated inguinal hernia containing viable uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. Surgery was performed through an inguinal approach, where the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries were found within the hernial sac. High ligation and additional repair of internal inguinal ring were done after reducing the contents in the peritoneal cavity. The postoperative course was uneventful.

一个两个月大的女婴腹股沟子宫疝。
腹股沟斜疝最常见的年龄组是婴儿,女孩的患病率较低。子宫、卵巢和输卵管同时存在于疝囊内是非常罕见的。由于这些器官的绞窄和坏死可能导致严重的疾病和不育,早期发现和手术是必不可少的。超声是诊断和鉴别婴儿腹股沟疝最有用的技术。我们试图说明一个两个月大的女婴的外科特征,剖宫产分娩,于2024年3月8日提交给拉合尔梅奥医院儿科外科急诊科,左侧腹股沟不可缩小的肿块。通过超声诊断,发现间接嵌顿腹股沟疝,包括可存活的子宫,卵巢和输卵管。手术通过腹股沟入路进行,在疝囊内发现子宫、输卵管和卵巢。在减少腹膜腔内内容物后进行高位结扎和腹股沟内环的附加修复。术后过程平淡无奇。
