Giant renal Cyst into Giant Laparotomic Hernia
82-year-old male patient previously twice subjected to surgical
intervention for peritonitis, and to two subsequent interventions for
giant incisional hernia. After the final intervention, the meshpad was
removed, due to infection, but the giant eventration persisted. Eight
years later, when anaemia was observed, a gastroenterology examination
was performed and sigmoid cancer diagnosed. Subsequent CT scans revealed
a giant right renal cyst measuring 29 × 21 cm, within the evisceration.
In response, a left hemicolectomy was performed, with resection and
marsupialisation of the renal cyst, and repair of the incisional hernia.
The patient evolved well and was discharged eight days after surgery.
