title: [The vermiformis appendix localization in the hernial sac].
abstract: Own experience was presented of surgical treatment of 22 patients, suffering abdominal wall hernia, in whom processus vermiformis (PV) was revealed in a hernial sac during herniotomy performance. In such cases PV was macroscopically not changed or had various grades of change--from hyperemia, cicatricial thickening and involvement into adhesive process to its pronounced inflammation and destruction. Hernioplasty in conjunction with appendectomy was performed in 11 patients, in 10 of them--allohernioplasty, in 1--plasty, using tissues of their own. According to histologic investigations data the expediency of appendectomy performance in a planned order in patients while pathologic changes in PV present was confirmed. Late results of surgical treatment were studied up in 19 (86%) patients. Hernial recurrence was not observed.
