BACKGROUND Numerous classifications for groin and ventral hernias have been proposed over the past five to six decades. The old, simple classification of groin hernia in to direct, inguinal and femoral components is no longer adequate to understand the complex pathophysiology and management of these hernias. The most commonly followed classification for ventral hernias divide them into congenit...

Despite advances in surgical technique and prosthetic technologies, the risks for recurrence and infection are high following the repair of incisional ventral hernias. High-quality data suggest that all ventral hernia repairs should be reinforced with prosthetic repair materials. The current standard for reinforced hernia repair is synthetic mesh, which can reduce the risk for recurrence in man...

Abstract Injury to inferior epigastric vessels during tacking is the Achilles heel of traditional IPOM method Lap ventral hernia repair. Although surface marking preoperatively with USG guidance and / or other ingenious methods are described, none them in real time hence, not fool proof. We hereby describe transillumination technique localising pedicle avert a catastrophe.

Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is evolving rapidly worldwide to become a standard procedure. Many reports of excellent clinical results have made laparoscopic ventral hernia repair one of the fastest growing minimally invasive techniques.1 It reduces the risk of complication related to intra-abdominal position of mesh and fixating devices.2 With increasing experience, different theories and...

BACKGROUND Spinal cord herniation was first described in 1974. It generally occurs in middle-aged adults in the thoracic spine. Symptoms typically include back pain and progressive paraparesis characterized by Brown-Séquard syndrome. Surgical reduction of the hernia improves the attendant symptoms and signs, even in patients with longstanding deficits. CASE DESCRIPTION A 66-year-old female wi...

A West African dwarf goat was presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Nigeria with primary complaint swollen abdomen and straining. Upon examination, observed be enlarged a fetus can felt on abdominal ballottement. Presence hernia ring confirmed caudal ventral area before umblicus. Caesarean section consequent herniorrhaphy adopted correct thehernia. Three kid goats were de...

Abstract Introduction Ventral hernia repair is one of the challenging surgical operations over time. It suggested that sublay mesh has lowest recurrence and site infection in open anterior abdominal repair. This study aimed to analyse pros cons ventral evaluate significance this technique as a treatment modality. Hospital stay, acute postoperative complications, rate were main areas investigati...
