Managing a giant inguinal hernia/ incisional/ ventral hernia had its own complications. The overtime adaptation of peritoneal cavity to lower abdominal pressure was one the most important factors responsible for these Surgical repair is also quite challenge because massive contents in sac, adhesions and concomitant fibrosis. In order reduce complications like intra-abdominal hypertension, cardi...

Background We encountered a case of abdominal compartment syndrome during hip arthroscopic surgery, caused by the irrigation fluid flowing into the peritoneal cavity. Case presentation A 47-year-old male patient with the acetabulum fracture underwent open reduction and internal fixation with hip arthroscopy. Hypothermia, increased airway pressure (under volume-controlled ventilation) and olig...

Compartment syndrome is the elevation of intra compartmental pressure to a level that impairs circulation by exceeding perfusion pressure[1]. The importance in understanding this condition is in it’s high-risk nature, diagnostic challenge and the urgency of intervention that is required with an acute presentation[1]. We present the commonest forms of compartment syndrome (lower limb and abdomin...

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a well-established technique for managing the open abdominal wound. The decision to intentionally leave an incision may be required in aftermath of surgery intra-abdominal sepsis or where there concern regarding compartment syndrome (ACS). Untreated ACS following elective, emergency aortic aneurysm repair (AAA) associated with mortality rates up 60% [1]...

Compartment syndrome is a rare vascular disorder and an orthopedic emergency caused by high intramuscular pressure following bone fractures and some other etiologies. It mostly involves extremities, but can affect other parts of the body. The syndrome is diagnosed based on extensively varying signs and symptoms including feeling pain, pallor, pulselessness, and some other signs among patients. ...

Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) have been a cause of complications in ICU patients, especially those of trauma and acute abdomen. ACS affects almost every system of the body namely the cardiac, respiratory, renal, CNS and the GIT. It has been under-recognized as it primarily affects patients who are already critically ill and the organ dysfunction may...
