Rarely, a Garengeot’s hernia is managed laparoscopically. Case report: We report a case of a 66 year-old male presented with an incarcerated groin hernia at the emergency department. He was taken in to laparoscopic hernia repair, with TAPP approach finding a right hernia femoral defect of 4 cm from which cecal appendix was reduced, in a suppurative phase. Discussion: This is the fourth case reported in the literature. A Garengot’s hernia can be managed laparoscopically. TAPP technique allows reducing the herniated appendix, repairing the hernia defect, determining the contamination of the abdominal cavity and the use of a mesh in the primary hernia repair. Introduction A femoral hernia is defined as a sac which projects through the femoral canal and presents clinically as a groin hernia below and laterals to the pubic tubercle or a finger breadth medial to the femoral artery below the inguinal ligament [1]. An inflamed appendix rarely can migrate in a hernia sac into the crural orifice and become incarcerated. The presence of the appendix in a femoral sac is known as a Garengeot’s hernia [2] due to a French Surgeon called Rene Jacques Croissant de Garengeot who first described a case in 1731 [1-4]. The first appendectomy of a Garengeot’s hernia was performed by Hevin in 1785 [2]. There is an incidence described in the literature from 0.08 to 1% [1,4]. A case of a Garengeot’s hernia managed laparoscopically is presented at surgical emergency department in a fourth level hospital. In a research done in pubmed, academic google, science direct and scielo databases there were 3 cases found. Case Report 66 year old men arrived to the emergency department with history of 8 hours of right groin pain, sense of mass, nausea and vomit. He underwent right inguinal herniorrhaphy 30 years ago. Clinical examination revealed good general conditions with normal vital signs and a non reductable painful mass in the right groin, without local inflammatory local changes such as erythema or edema and no signs of peritoneal irritation. Blood test with 16.000 leukocytes. There were no preoperative images done. With diagnosis of an incarcerated groin hernia he was taken in to laparoscopic hernia repair finding a right femoral defect of 4 cm from which cecal appendix was reduced, in a suppurative phase (Figure 1). Without peritoneal fluid or additional inflammatory changes in the groin. TAPP approach was done with an infraumbilical 12 mm trocar and other two trocars of 5 mm in right and left flanks. The appendix was easily reduced without perforating, mesoappendix was attached with ligasure and hemolock was placed at the base, appendix was extracted with endocath. We performed dissection of Bogro’s and Retziu’s space identifying Copper’s ligament, iliopubic tract and deep inguinal ring. The defect was corrected with a light polypropylene mesh of 15 × 15 cm fixed to the Cooper’s ligament with 3 Prot","PeriodicalId":115205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgery: Open Access","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131800353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kinesiotherapy, involving continuous abdominal bandaging, may offer a solution. Objectives: This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of Kinesiotherapy in managing edema, ecchymosis, seroma, and post-surgical pain in abdominal liposuction. Material and Methods: In a clinical trial, 50 patients undergoing abdominal liposuction were evaluated over one year, with 25 in a control group and 25 in an experimental group. The study monitored the effects of Kinesiotherapy during the first 7 and 21 days post-surgery, using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to assess reductions in seroma, ecchymosis, edema, and pain. Results: The study showed a decrease in edema measured by cm2 in MRI, with an average reduction of 373 cm2 in the control group compared to 635 cm2 in the experimental group, leading to decreased edema, ecchymosis, pain, and seroma. Discussion: Liposuction is a widely used surgical technique for removing fat to improve body contour. However, some patients may experience an excessively flat abdomen. Kinesiotherapy, a daily-use intervention, has shown proactive benefits in managing post-surgical complications related to body contouring. Conclusions: Abdominal belts, used for controlled management of post-surgical edema, facilitate lymphatic and nervous recirculation, ultimately reducing seromas, fibrosis, ecchymosis, and paresthesias. This study highlights the importance of incorporating Kinesiotherapy for optimal patient outcomes.","PeriodicalId":115205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgery: Open Access","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134448005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Botulinum toxin type A shows atrophy in the extrafusal and intrafusal muscle fibers. With the addition of Muscle Paralysis and improving strength, it is possible to perform an effective posterior component separation. Objective: Describe an easy algorithm to treat complex abdominal wall reconstruction and improve the quality of adjacent tissues. Material and Methods: Fifty-nine patients were analyzed over 1 year in the General Surgery and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Service, patients with midline abdominal wall hernias, using the effective reconstruction algorithm, placing by ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin in the muscle transverse, 1 month later performing TAR, with Abdominoplasty for skin flap management, and comparing with the control group that did not apply botulinum toxin. Discussion: Botox is a neurotoxin derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum (botulinum toxin type A) that has been observed at the sensory level causing atrophy in the extrafusal and intrafusal muscle fibers. Repair of the abdominal wall after incisional hernias has been a great challenge with recurrence rates of 11%. Performing the release of the transverse muscle has a recurrence of 6%, as well as the compensation of skin flaps are ideal for proper management. Results: Within the observed analyzes, the results were divided into trans-surgical (99% of the patients closed the midline), immediate post-surgical (Pain, Seroma and Infection <1%) and late (with <3% recurrence) in the experimental group. Conclusions: Within the study, we will be able to analyze that lowering the recurrence rate <3% in patients properly protocolized, is translated as an adequate and totally reproducible method in our environment.","PeriodicalId":115205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgery: Open Access","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128965884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Investigations that measure the nasal airway can help to guide the management of sino-nasal diseases, which can subsequently have a significant impact on patients’ quality of life. Subjective methods of measurement include; anterior rhinoscopy, rigid nasendoscopy, VAS score and SNOT-22. Objective measures include; nasal peak flow testing, acoustic rhinometry, anterior/posterior rhinomanometry and imaging studies. Unfortunately, many objective measurement techniques correlate poorly with patients’ perceptions of disease severity, which questions the clinical relevance of these techniques. Robust, objective methods for measuring the nasal airway may help to guide future treatments, and should ideally correlate with patients’ symptoms to truly tackle the burden of nasal disease.","PeriodicalId":115205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgery: Open Access","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130163447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: In order to examine the perspective of general surgery interns on their reporting of work hours, a survey questionnaire was distributed between May 6 and June 3, 2019 to first year surgical trainees at four major academic institutions near the end of their internship year. Results: A total of 25 of 59 interns participated in our survey (42.4% response rate). Work-life balance was consistently rated as the most significant challenge facing surgical interns. All (100%) interns had at one time under-reported work hours, while 28% did so “often”, and 32% “occasionally”. Interestingly, one in five surgical interns reported receiving external pressure from their residency program to under-report working hours. Conclusion: Surgical interns have difficulties adequately balancing their life with the rigorous work of a surgical resident, and that nearly all surgical interns both violate and under-report their work hours. Understanding the reasons why surgical trainees decide to under-report duty hours would help surgical educators develop innovative, non-punitive methods to improve work hour compliance.","PeriodicalId":115205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgery: Open Access","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130404390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
