Canal of Nuck Hernia in an Elderly Patient- A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery Research and Practice - Year 2022, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The hernia of the canal of Nuck is a female exclusivity and appears as the result of failure to close the vaginalis process. It is found more frequently in children and rarely in elderly women. This type of hernia usually contains parts of the uterus, ovary and fallopian tube and rarely intestinal loops are observed. The diagnosis is made through Ultrasound (US), which allows the identification of herniated structures and the treatment is always surgical.
