Urologists often encounter large perineal and abdominal wall defects, the treatment of which may require close collaboration with the plastic surgeon. These complex defects can be successfully treated using a variety of techniques. Ventral hernias or freshly created abdominal wall defects can be treated with the basic principles of tension-free closure using abdominal wall components separation...

Epigastric hernia, a form of abdominal ventral accounts for 0.5 – 10.0% all wall hernias. These may be congenital due to incomplete midline fusion developing lateral domains or acquired. It usually occurs in individuals the age groups 20 50 years and infants. is rarely large enough admit more than small amount extra-peritoneal fat. We discuss an epigastric hernia known only little 4-hours, pres...

OBJECTIVES Abdominal wall hernias are common. Various authors all quote the following order (in decreasing frequency): inguinal, femoral, umbilical followed by rarer forms. But are these figures outdated? We investigated the epidemiology of hernia repair (retrospective review) over 30 years to determine whether the relative frequencies of hernias are evolving. DESIGN All hernia repairs undert...

INTRODUCTION Lumbar hernias occur infrequently and can be congenital, primary (inferior or Petit type, and superior or Grynfeltt type), posttraumatic, or incisional. They are bounded by the 12th rib, the iliac crest, the erector spinae, and the external oblique muscle. Most postoperative incisional hernias occur in nephrectomy or aortic aneurysm repair incisions. CASE REPORT We present 2 pati...

Herniorrhaphy is one of the most commonly performed operations in all of surgery. Worldwide, some 20 million groin hernia repairs are accomplished each year.1 In the United States, over 1,000,000 herniorrhaphies are performed each year, of which 750,000 are for inguinal hernias, 166,000 for umbilical hernias, 97,000 for incisional hernias, 25,000 for femoral hernias, and 76,000 for miscellaneou...

The review considers in detail the most important aspects of open abdominal wall prosthetic repair techniques applied in surgical treatment of ventral and incisional hernias according to contemporary foreign and domestic experience. we have presented the views of leading researchers on the use of synthetic endoprostheses. The authors have suggested a modern classification of primary ventral and...

BACKGROUND Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery has rapidly progressed from the animal laboratory to clinical use since mass production of multichannel ports began in 2007. Indeed, it has now been shown to be feasible and safe for many commonly performed operations. METHODS This study cohort comprised 22 unselected patients with abdominal wall hernias of varying types: multiply recurrent ingu...

UNLABELLED Current techniques for ventral hernia repair (VHR) rely on prosthetic mesh implantation and are increasingly performed laparoscopically. Potentially serious iatrogenic complications may occur following VHR, though these are rare compared to the vast number of procedures performed each year. This paper provides an overview of contemporary open and laparoscopic surgical techniques and ...
