Abstract

Background: Acute appendicitis in an inguinal hernia that has been called as “Amyand's Hernia” since the day on which Claudius Amyand has described the condition. That was the first appendectomy ever reported in the literature. The incidence of acute appendicitis in an inguinal hernia is 0,13 % of all cases with acute appendicitis. Herein, the patients diagnosed with Amyand's hernia are evaluated retrospectively. Methods: The clinical, laboratory and radiological findings in patients with Amyand's hernia between 2005 and 2008 are evaluated. and hernioplasty was performed. Amyand's hernia was diagnosed in only 21 patients. The age ranged from 18 to 78 years (median, 55 years). The most common symptoms were right inguinal mass and abdominal pain, and the most common findings were right inguinal mass and right lower quadrant tenderness. Leukocytosis and neutrophilia were detected in 4 patients. Appendectomy plus hernioplasty in 8 patients and appendectomy plus mesh hernioplasty in 9 patients were performed. Conclusion: When diagnosed in the operating room, appendectomy through herniotomy is the procedure of choice in Amyand's hernia. Herein we report 21 cases with Amyand's hernia and review the literature.

Özet

Amaç: Claudius Amyand fıtık kesesi içinde akut apandisit olması durumunu tanımladığı günden beri, bu durum Amyand fıtığı olarak bilinir. Ayrıca bu, literatürde bildirilen ilk apendektomidir. Bu durumun görülme oranı tüm akut apandisit olguları içinde %0,13'tür. Burada, Amyand fıtığı tanısı konulan hastalarımız geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Gereç ve Yöntem: 2005-2008 yılları içerisinde Amyand fıtığı tanısı alan hastaların klinik, laboratuvar ve radyolojik bulguları incelendi. Bulgular: Bu süre içerisinde 2.250 fıtık ameliyatı yapılmıştır. Yirmi bir hastada Amyand fıtığı tanısı konulmuştur. Hastaların yaşları 18 ile 78 yıl arasında değişiyordu (ortanca yaş, 55 yıl). Hastaların en sık başvuru yakınmaları sağ kasıkta şişlik ve ağrı, en sık muayene bulgusu ise sağ inguinal bölgede şişlik ve sağ alt kadranda hassasiyetti. Hastalardan 4'ünde lökositoz ve nötrofili saptandı. Sekiz hastada apendektomi ve anatomik fıtık onarımı yapıldı. Dokuz hastaya da apendektomi ve mesh ile fıtık onarımı yapıldı. Sonuç: Ameliyat esnasında Amyand fıtığı saptandığında, fıtık kesisi üzerinden apendektomi tercih edilmelidir.
