Large incisional hernias of the abdominal wall represent substantial defects of supportive tissues. The repair of these requires the mobilization of fascia or the use of a prosthetic mesh. A method for closing large midline incisional hernias using both the fascia and a mesh was described in 1979. This repair was used for six midline hernias and four large incisional hernias in the right subcos...

Incisional hernias in the abdominal wall are a by-product of multiple previous laparotomies. Unfortunately, the incidence of incisional hernias has risen, as we have progressed with new surgical techniques in the treatment of abdominal pathologies. Many methods have been attempted in the past to achieve a better and more durable repair, namely using components separation to bring the fascia int...

BACKGROUND Abdominal wall hernias are a very common surgical condition affecting all ages and both sexes. The main risk factors of hernias include pregnancy, weight lifting, constipation, and weight gain. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of abdominal hernias, their causes, treatment and complications among both sexes of the Arar population (Saud...

Abdominal wall hernias occur when tissue structure and function are lost at the load-bearing muscle, tendon, and fascial layer. The fundamental biologic mechanisms are primary fascial pathology or surgical wound failure. In both cases, cellular and extracellular molecular matrix defects occur. Primary abdominal wall hernias have been associated with extracellular matrix diseases. Incisional her...

BACKGROUND The therapeutic problems of giant incisional hernias of the abdominal wall are often difficult to resolve. The technique of repair must make up for the loss of abdominal wall substance and reestablish the interplay of the abdominal musculature. The use of prosthetic materials complies with these 2 imperatives. HYPOTHESIS The results of surgical treatment of postoperative incisional...

Abdominal hernias are a common cause of bowel obstruction. The major types of abdominal hernias are external or abdominal wall hernias, which occur at areas of congenital or acquired weakness in the abdominal wall. An alternative entity is internal hernias, which are characterized by a protrusion of viscera through the peritoneum or mesentery. We herein present the case of a female peritoneal d...

Abdominal wall hernias are common problems found in patients with cirrhosis because of persistently high intra-abdominal pressure. When abdominal hernias are neglected in such patients, they may become larger and could result in cosmetic problems and pressure effects that are also difficult to treat. We found a voluminous mass in the anterior abdominal wall of a 40-year-old patient with cirrhos...

conclusions traumatic abdominal wall hernia tawh, although uncommon, is associated with significant rate of morbidity and mortality in cases of delayed diagnosis and intervention. early intervention leads to a significantly better outcome. introduction acute abdominal wall rupture with visceral herniation due to blunt traumas and bowel incarceration or perforation are generally rare phenomena. ...

INTRODUCTION Incisional hernias are abnormal peritoneal outward pouch-like protrusions that develop due to defects that arise as a result of the disruption of the fascia's continuity after abdominal surgery. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 77-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department of our hospital with complaints of abdominal swelling, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. The pat...
