saco herniario diverticular

English translation: diverticular sac

Medical - Medical (general) / Hernia repair discharge note
Spanish term or phrase: saco herniario diverticular
From a progress and discharge note following hernia repair surgery with mesh, male patient aged 53 with diabetes and obesity. The document is from Mexico.

"El procedimiento se realiza sin complicaciones, encontrando defecto inguinal directo, con defecto de 3 cm de diámetro, saco herniario diverticular de 10 cm aprox."

Diverticular hernial sac? As far as I can tell, all three words seem to refer pretty much to the same thing.

A Google search for "saco herniario diverticular" (in quotation marks) gets no hits, which suggests to me it may be redundant or poorly drafted. Is this just referring to the size of the hernia itself?

Into U.S. English.

English translation:diverticular sac
Explanation:
Concuerdo con tu lectura del original como redundante. Se refiere a un saco diverticular, que por definición comporta una pequeña herniación. A modo de traducción, "diverticular sac" es probablemente un equivalente ajustado.

Translated as "diverticular hernial sac", as per Stephen's comment; consulted a friend who's a medical doctor in Mexico and she said it was unusually worded but "diverticular" probably referred to the shape of the sac. Many thanks to all who responded.

diverticulum in hernia sac


Explanation:
I think they're not the same thing. Maybe "diverticular" refers to the diverticula that may be present in the sac. I leave some references here. Hope it helps.
