Amyand's hernia: a rare inguinal herniaInguinal hernia repair is commonplace in general surgery practice and an estimated 700 000 are performed each year in the USA. The presence of the vermiform appendix contained in the hernia sac, or an Amyand's hernia, is exceedingly rare, occurring in 1% of inguinal hernia patients. We report the intra-operative findings of a standard inguinal hernia repair and discuss the management of the four types of Amyand's hernia.

Impact of COVID-19 on clinical outcomes of robotic retromuscular ventral hernia repairBackground: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the healthcare sector and forced hospitals to limit the number of elective procedures with the goal of reducing overcrowding of wards and thus viral transmission. Recent trends for ventral hernia repair have shifted towards retromuscular techniques, which normally require a longer length of stay. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on clinical outcomes of robotic retromuscular ventral hernia repair (rRVHR). Methods: Patients who underwent rRVHR up to 600 days before and after March 10, 2020, were included in this retrospective study and assigned to the pre- or post-COVID group depending on the date of their procedure. Pre-, intra-, and postoperative variables including patients' demographics, hernia characteristics, complications, and hernia recurrence were compared between both groups. Results: 153 (46% female) and 141 (51% female) patients were assigned to the pre- and post-COVID groups respectively. Median age was statistically different between both groups [pre-COVID: 57 (48-68) vs. post-COVID 55 (42-64) years, p = 0.045]. Median hospital length of stay (LOS) was 0 day (0-1) in both groups, and same day discharge were 61% pre-pandemic and 70% post-pandemic (p = 0.09). Mean postoperative follow-up was 39.2 (4.1-93.6) months. In total, 26 pre-COVID patients had postoperative complications, out of which 7 were pulmonary complications, whereas 23 complications were recorded in the post-COVID group, with only 3 pulmonary complications (p = 0.88). Rate of surgical-site events was comparable between both groups, and no recurrences were recorded. Conclusion: This is the first study to describe the impact of the COVID-19 on rRVHR. Hospital LOS was comparable between both groups. Rates of medical and hernia specific complications were not altered by the pandemic.

Delayed splenic rupture presenting 70 days following blunt abdominal traumaDelayed splenic rupture following conservative management of splenic injury is an extremely rare complication. We report a case of an adult patient who presented with delayed splenic rupture necessitating splenectomy, 2 months following blunt abdominal trauma. Imaging at the initial presentation demonstrated only minimal splenic contusion and the patient was discharge following 24 hours of observation.
