In 2013 Almeida-Reis Hernia was first described by myself and colleagues hence its name. Published in the "International Journal of Surgery Case Reports" Almeida-Reis Hernia was being presented to the scientific community.
This entity is now crossing borders!
In September 2016, in TSASICON 2016, held in Warangal, India, a second case of Almeida-Reis Hernia was presented.
The work entitled - "A rare case of Almeida-Reis Hernia. Adult right-sided Bochdalek hernia with ileo-cecal appendix" - was presented by Dr Pranay Gautam Pyda from Osmania Medical College/General Hospital from Hyderabad, India. First prize was given to this poster presentation. Congratulations to the authors.
It is good to know that our work is read, appreciated and recognized by surgeons worldwide.
