Ipsilateral Aymand's and Richter's hernia, complicated by necrosing fascitis

Javier Kuri Osorio et al. Hernia. 2006 Oct.

Abstract

This study presents the case of a patient with necrobiosis or necrosing fascitis of the inguinal region, secondary to a complicated Amyand's hernia with a concomitant ipsilateral Richter's hernia. The patient was treated with open trans-abdominal surgery and hernia repair through the pre-peritoneal approach, plus anti-microbians, and thrice-daily wound cleansing and dressings to the inguinal region. Evolution was satisfactory. There are no reports in the literature of a case such as this.
