Pantaloon hernias are a subset of abdominal hernias wherein both indirect and direct components of inguinal hernias are present on one side. Inguinoscrotal hernia of the urinary bladder is a rare condition involved in less than 4% of inguinal hernias and more so if they are part of a direct component of a pantaloon hernia. This is a case of a 65-year-old male who presented a non-reducible right inguinoscrotal mass. Inguinoscrotal herniation of the urinary bladder was preoperatively diagnosed through imaging. Intra-operatively a pantaloon hernia was noted with the herniated urinary bladder as the direct component and omentum as the indirect component. The patient underwent cystourethroscopy, inguinal exploration right, and mesh hernioplasty. The patient had an unremarkable post-operative course and was discharged with improved conditions. Awareness of this clinical condition will aid in the diagnosis, and proper management and prevent post-operative complications.

Lumbar hernia is a rare surgical entity without a standard method of repair. With advancements in laparoscopic techniques, successful lumbar herniorrhaphy can be achieved by the creation of a completely extraperitoneal working space and secure fixation of a wide posterior mesh. We present a total extraperitoneal laparoendoscopic repair of lumbar hernia, which allowed for minimal invasiveness while providing excellent anatomical identification, easy mobilization of contents and wide secure mesh fixation. A total extraperitoneal method of lumbar hernia repair by laparoscopic approach is feasible and may be an ideal option.

Although single-shot caudal blockade is known as a relatively safe procedure, it is not always without complications. We present a case of accidental bladder puncture that was identified with fluoroscopy by chance after single-shot caudal blockade in a 17-months-old, 12 kg boy who underwent inguinal hernioplasty.

For treatment of pediatric inguinal hernia, we fabricated a device, i.e. so called "filling type pediatric hernia sac", which treats the problem from the abdominal cavity, through the abdominal and is a self-adaptive closer, using synthetic material. The device includes filling rack, self-adaptive umbrella support bar, bottom piece, outside pulling line and device fixing lines. The filling rack is composed of 2 concentric circles of 3.0 cm diameter with peripherally fixed together and can be pulled into the shapes of a ball or an olive. The supporting bar is structured of 3 pieces with 0.5 cm wide, 4.0 cm long, cross-fixed on top of the filling rack. The bottom piece is in a circular structure with a diameter of 3.0 cm, and it is connected to the filling rack bottom. Adjust positioning stay outside the fixed on the top of the device are connected at one end, and the other end free through filling the top frame connected with the bottom slice of central fixation. By using this device, we treated 37 pediatric inguinal hernia cases with 38 side-inguinal hernia successfully. The mean duration of post-operation follow-ups was 14.6 ± 5.89 months, without hernia recurrence, obvious scar and hard sections of inguinal region. This device could provide a convenient, safe and effective plugging technology for children's pediatric hernia.

Umbilical preservation can be challenging, particularly in complex cases involving simultaneous ventral hernia repair and abdominoplasty. Although the umbilicus serves no functional purpose, removal of the umbilicus can draw unwanted attention to the abdominal area and can cause emotional distress to patients. There are several well documented options for umbilical reconstruction. We present a new umbilical reconstruction technique relevant for such cases. This neoumbilicoplasty allows for preservation of the original umbilicus with relocation and reconstruction using local flaps. The technique is relatively simple and the time needed is minimal. The result is a natural, well positioned umbilicus using the principles of spare part surgery.

PURPOSE: Totally extraperitoneal (TEP) hernia repair has gained in popularity in the past two decades. Despite the advantages TEP hernia repair, the approach is hindered by the relatively long learning curve of the surgery. We tried to estimate the necessary number of repetitions of TEP hernia repair in the learning curve using logarithmic and exponential function models. METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of all patients who underwent TEP hernia repair by a single surgeon consecutively at a single center. We calculated how many operations were needed to achieve a reduction in the expected operating time to mean operating time using logarithmic and exponential function models. RESULTS: In the 91 patients, the logarithmic function model predicted that 37 cases were needed to overcome the learning curve for TEP hernia repair while the exponential model predicted that 39 cases were needed. CONCLUSION: According to this study, at least 37 to 39 cases are needed in the overcome learning curve of TEP hernia repair. Further studies are needed to optimize surgical education and maximize quality.

9.A Case of Duplicated Vas Deferens Found Incidentally during Varicocelectomy.

Duplication of the vas deferens is a very rare congenital anomaly in which two vasa deferentia coexist within the spermatic cord. Duplication of the vas deferens can be found during herniorrhaphy, vasectomy, and varicocelectomy performed on the spermatic cord or around the spermatic cord. However, it is estimated that the incidence of duplication of the vas deferens is under-reported and under-recognized. Unless anomalies of the vas deferens such as duplication of the vas deferens are recognized by surgeons, it will be difficult to reduce vas deferens injuries and achieve a satisfactory surgical outcome. In addition, care should be taken in cases of duplication of the vas deferens because it can be complicated by non-testicular genitourinary anomalies. We report a case of duplication of the vas deferens discovered during routine varicocelectomy.

Lumbar hernias are rare posterolateral abdominal wall defects. There are two types of lumbar hernia. One is a superior lumbar hernia through the deep superior orifice (Grynfeltt triangle), and the other is a lower lumbar hernia through the superficial lower orifice (Petit triangle). A lumbar hernia is often misdiagnosed as a lipoma, so a cautious clinical examination is very important. Reports of recurrent lumbar hernia are extremely rare in the literature. We experienced a case of recurrence in an acquired primary lumbar hernia in a 71-year-old male who had undergone mesh-plug herniorrhaphy. The hernia orifice was 1 cm in diameter and exhibited a fibrous smooth margin. Hernia repair using 3-D mesh was performed. The patient had uncomplicated postoperative course and was discharged one day after the operation.
