Paraduodenal hernias (PDH) are rare congenital internal hernias with non- specific symptoms. Left-sided paraduodenal hernia is three times more common than right-sided paraduodenal hernia with similar clinical presentation but different embryological origins.
We report a series of eight cases of paraduodenal hernia who presented with varied clinical presentation ranging from vague abdominal pain to complete intestinal obstruction. Six cases had left-sided paraduodenal hernia, while two cases had right-sided paraduodenal hernia.
Seven cases based on their presentation underwent surgery either electively or on emergent basis. Three cases underwent laparoscopic repair. One case had a recurrence and was re-operated four months later. There was no mortality among any of the cases.
A pre-operative diagnosis of paraduodenal hernia is essential. Laparoscopic surgery is safe in select cases and is found to be beneficial.
十二指肠旁疝(PDH)是罕见的先天性腹内疝,症状不具特异性。左侧十二指肠旁疝比右侧十二指肠旁疝常见三倍,二者临床表现相似,但胚胎起源不同。
我们报告了一系列8例十二指肠旁疝病例,其临床表现各异,从模糊的腹痛到完全性肠梗阻。6例为左侧十二指肠旁疝,2例为右侧十二指肠旁疝。
7例根据其临床表现接受了择期或急诊手术。3例接受了腹腔镜修补术。1例复发,4个月后再次手术。所有病例均无死亡。
术前诊断十二指肠旁疝至关重要。腹腔镜手术在部分病例中是安全的,且已证明有益。
