Acquired hernias of the diaphragm.

Hernia Through the Esophageal Opening of the Diaphragm

In view of the fact that right-sided hernia of the diaphragm is relatively infrequent, a report on the following case, observed in our Cinic, is of interest. In a series of 276 cases collected by Lacher, only I5 per cent of the total number of diaphragmatic hernias occurred on the right side. The reason seems quite obvious; the bulk of the liver, occupying the right dome of the diaphragm, preve...

A Comparative Analysis between Right and Left Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernias

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare congenital anomaly of the diaphragm with an incidence of 1:2000-5000 of live births. This study retrospectively evaluated patients who had been operated on for CDH at our department of Pediatric Surgery between January 2013 and December 2016. The Demographic Data and outcomes of right CDH cases (Group 1) were compared with left CDH cases (Group 2).

Conventional mesh repair of a giant iatrogenic bilateral diaphragmatic hernia with an enterothorax

PURPOSE Diaphragmatic hernias (DHs) are divided into congenital and acquired hernias, most of which are congenital. Among acquired DHs, up to 80% are left-sided, only a few iatrogenic DHs have been reported, and bilateral hernias are extremely rare. For diagnostic reasons, many DHs are overlooked by ultrasonography or X-ray and are only recognized at a later stage when complications occur. ME...

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

A hernia is a protrusion of abdominal content (preperitoneal fat, omentum or abdominal organs) through an abdominal wall defect. Anatomically the most important features of a hernia are the hernial orifice and the hernia (peritoneal) sac, if present. The hernial orifice is represented by the primary defect in the aponeurotic layer of the abdomen, and the hernial sac by the bulging peritoneum. T...
