RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Despite its extremely low incidence, intra-abdominal herniation through the lesser omentum is associated with a high mortality rate and must be recognized early and treated urgently. To overcome a lack of data on the management of this condition, we collected and reviewed all the reported cases of operated lesser omental hernia and presented the case of a patient treated by laparoscopy for an isolated lesser omental hernia. METHODS: According to PRISMA guidelines and using PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, a systematic literature review of cases of lesser omental hernia treated by surgery was performed on February 12, 2023. RESULTS: Of 482 articles, 30 were included for analysis and only 9 articles presented an isolated hernia through the lesser omentum. Among these, 4 patients were female and the median age was 38. Upper abdominal pain and vomiting were reported in 7 out of 9 patients. The small bowel was responsible for 78% (7/9) of all lesser omental herniations. All of them were treated by laparotomy. In addition, we describe the case of a 65-year-old woman without prior surgical history who was treated by laparoscopy for a spontaneous closed loop hernia through the lesser omentum without any other associated hernias. CONCLUSION: Mostly associated with prior surgery or trauma, this type of herniation could sometimes occur spontaneously without any sign of peritonitis. Due to the high mortality rate, internal abdominal hernias should always be ruled out with a CT scan in front of patients presenting with persisting acute abdominal pain and no alternative diagnosis.

Acute pancreatitis is a frequent disease, with a simple course in 80 % of the cases but a high morbidity and mortality in its severe form. Biliary origin and alcohol represent 80 % of the etiologies. Except endoscopic removal of gallstone for biliary origin, treatment remains symptomatic and focuses on fluid resuscitation, effective antalgia and adapted management of nutrition. This article focuses on the novelties introduced by the revision of the Classification of Atlanta in 2012 and details current guidelines for the management of the disease. The evolution of conservative treatment has allowed to reduce and postpone need for surgery and requires an interdisciplinary collaboration between surgeons, gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists and intensivists.
La pancréatite aiguë est une maladie fréquente d'évolution simple dans 80 % des cas, mais grevée de complications et d'une mortalité importante dans sa forme sévère. Les causes biliaires et la consommation excessive d'alcool représentent 80 % des étiologies. Le traitement, hormis l'extraction de calculs par voie endoscopique si l'origine est biliaire, est symptomatique et se concentre sur une réhydratation, une antalgie efficace et une gestion adaptée des apports. Cet article s'intéresse aux nouveautés introduites par la nouvelle Classification d'Atlanta (CA) de 2012 et détaille les directives actuelles de prise en charge. L'évolution du traitement conservateur ces dernières années a permis de diminuer et repousser le recours à la chirurgie et nécessite une étroite collaboration interdisciplinaire entre chirurgiens, gastroentérologues, radiologues interventionnels et intensivistes.

The detection rate of cystic lesions of the pancreas has increased following the widespread use of high-resolution imaging technologies. CT-scan, MRI and echo-endoscopy are diagnostic modalities. Pseudocyst is the most common lesion. It is benign and can be managed with endoscopic treatment. Mucinous cystic neoplasia and Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasia (IPMN) carry a risk for malignant transformation. The surgical treatment of these lesions has to be discussed by a multidisciplinary board. Serous cystic neoplasia and pseudopapillar and solid neoplasia are two rare types of lesion. The aim of this article is to present the diagnostic pathway and the management of these lesions from the general practitioner point of view.
