Tack Hernia: A New Entity

The repair of incisional and ventral hernias by the laparoscopic method is finding its place in the general surgical field. The use of tacks and transfascial sutures is commonplace. A new hernia has been identified. Two hernias have been seen following the successful repair of incisional hernias. These did not appear to be recurrent hernias as definite findings of fascial defects were present r...

A Spiral Tack as a Lead Point for Volvulus

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We present a case of small bowel volvulus around an endotack applied during total extraperitoneal laparoscopic hernia repair (TEP). This complication prompts reconsideration of the role of tacks during extraperitoneal laparoscopic hernia repairs. METHODS We undertook a chart review and provide a case presentation with review of the literature. RESULT A 66-year-old ...
