[Inguinal herniorrhaphies by the pre-peritoneal method using surgical mesh].

During a period of 5 years, 314 patients with 427 inguinal hernias were operated. 80 males with bilateral inguinal hernia recurrent, or not, were operated with an insertion of a Crinoplaque by a pre-peritoneal approach. The operative time was 65 +/- 26 minutes. 10 patients (12.5%) had by the same incision a concomitant pelvic procedure (9 varicoceles, 1 benign prostatic hypertrophy). 4 patients (5%) developed minor parietal complications. After 1 to 4 years of follow-up, 1 patient (1,25%) showed one side recurrence, in the beginning of our experience. In conclusion, we consider the pre-peritoneal Crinoplaque insertion as a treatment of choice for bilateral recurrent, or not, inguinal hernia for its simplicity and its lower complication rate.

[Jejunogastric intussusception. Apropos of a case].

Jejunogastric intussusception is a rare complication after gastric surgery. The authors report a case of acute jejunogastric intussusception diagnosed in a 57-year-old woman, 22 years after vagotomy and gastroenterostomy for duodenal ulcer. There are three types of jejunogastric intussusception: 1) the acute type, presenting as a surgical emergency, and characterized by a sudden onset of cramp-like epigastric pain, followed by nausea and vomiting, with a palpable epigastric mass. 2) the chronic recurrent type, which may progress to the acute type of may result in severe disability, and may require corrective surgery depending on the severity of the symptoms. 3) the acute post-operative type, presenting on the 4th or 5th post-operative day, and usually improving with conservative treatment.
