Journal Title: Хірургія України - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
Inguinal hernias occupy one of the leading positions in the world, which surgical interventions are performed for. The contents of such hernias can be either a large omentum, loops of the small, large intestine or uterine appendages. In men, they are much more common (a risk of 27 % in men and 3 % in women). Malignant lesions in inguinal hernias have a rather rare occurrence, more often in the sigmoid colon in the left inguinal hernia. The primary malignant disease of the colon located in the inguinal hernia was extremely rarely reported. The first case was reported by Gerhardt and his colleagues in 1938. During an inguinal hernia containing primary colon cancer examination, Medline identified 28 cases of the disease. The sigmoid colon was involved in most cases, but involvement of the caecum and ascending gut was also described. The article describes the clinical case of adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon located in the left‑sided irreversible inguinal hernia. The tactics and volume of surgical treatment are proposed. Patient K., 1946 year of birth, entered the surgical department with complaints on the tumour‑like formation presence in the left groin. From the anamnesis of the disease: a hernia existed for many years. St. localis: in the left inguinal‑scrotum region was hernial protrusion sized 40 × 20 cm, hyperaemic, intense, painful, symptom of «cough» impulse was negative, tympanites by percussion. Bowel sounds were not audible over the projection of bulging during auscultation. With a diagnosis of strangulated inguinal‑scrotal hernia on the left and the phlegmon of the hernial sac, patient was taken into the operating room. The contents of the hernial sac were a sigmoid colon with a neoplasm. A Hartmann’s resection of the sigmoid colon was performed. The postoperative period was uneventful. Oncologist consultation was recommended. Detected adenocarcinoma of the colon during surgical treatment of a trapped inguinal hernia, dramatically changes the course of surgery, treatment plan and prognosis for the patient.
