Acute abdomen in pregnancy

Hernias of the abdominal wall or groin are not uncommon in the general population today. Repair of a hernia is one the most common surgical procedures in the country. Hernias during pregnancy, however, are uncommon, and much less is written about them in the literature. Whenever a pregnant patient has a hernia that is symptomatic, prompt consultation with a general surgeon is prudent.

The majority of inguinal hernias in infants and children are indirect hernias. Boys are more commonly affected than girls (9 : 1), with a right-sided predominance of about 60 : 40. About 15% are bilateral. The diagnosis is often made on the basis of a bulge and can be observed in the groin with crying, straining, or standing. Scrotal enlargement or change in size may be noted.
General Surgery

Groin hernias typically present as a lump in the groin that classically appears on straining/lifting and disappears on lying down or when pressed. There may be pain in the groin due to the pressure from the hernia or due to a complication (obstruction or strangulation).
Inheritance, Environment and Genesis of Inguinal Hernias
Published in Journal of Investigative Surgery, 2022
The present study indicates that future studies aimed at exploring factors influencing the protein metabolism of patients suffering from hernia may provide a deeper understanding of the healing process rather than merely focusing on the anatomically and macroscopically assessed strength of the tissue. Although primary prevention may not be expected to be effective for reducing the burden of hernia disease on the public health service, a better appreciation of the mechanisms involved in the degradation of elastin and collagen may open new approaches for secondary prevention in patients predisposed to hernia development as well as optimizing techniques for hernia repair and abdominal wall closure. The results of previous studies have enabled us to identify patients at increased risk for developing groin hernia as well as hernias in other locations. The present study may open up new ways of targeting the homoeostasis of the extracellular matrix and the healing process, and eventually to prevent hernia genesis.

Informants frequently described experiences of pain or tightness in the groin on the affected side, often during weight transfer or when moving the leg extensively backwards or sideways. Some experienced radiating pain along their thighs, stiffness or pain in their knees and ankles, or muscular spasms in their calves or feet. Symptoms from the lower leg were frequently associated with unfavorable loading over time or with having had too little exercise: “When I move too far to the left, it is like having a knife stabbed into the groin. Something in the groin is easily overstretched – it can be very painful5.”“Right now, my muscles are telling me to stop, – I think they may be overloaded. This is a reminder of my legs needing exercise11.”
Spermatic cord liposarcomas incidentally found during hernia surgery: is histology of any lipoma mandatory? A review of the literature
Published in Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2020

All case reports with true inguinal spermatic cord liposarcomas that have been reported in the English literature between 1990 and 2019 have been analyzed. However, the analysis was restricted to those cases with coincidental detection of the tumor during the index operation. Only 18 cases with 19 tumors could be identified which means that worldwide less than 1 case per year has been published within the last three decades. Although liposarcomas of the spermatic cord are a typical tumor most often located in the paratesticular region and usually detected by ultrasound, incidentally detected tumors during hernia surgery are rare. The analysis of the case reports demonstrates that even in the presence of a firm mass in the groin this is rather thought to be an incarcerated hernia than a tumor.
