his umbilical hernia. The least degree of error consists in the persistence of a little pouch of umbilical ccelom in the thickness of the abdominal wall, which is later expanded into an ordinary skin-covered umbilical hernia. The greatest degree of error consists in the larger part of the abdominal viscera remaining in the umbilical cord. It is with this latter condition that we have to deal in...

A patient with an umbilical hernia presenting with collateral veins in the abdominal wall and umbilicus is a case that every hernia surgeon has to deal with occasionally. Several underlying diseases have been described to provoke collateral veins in the abdominal wall. However, the treatment strategy should be uniform. We herein report a case of a successful laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair...

INTRODUCTION Umbilical endometriosis occurring in the presence of an underlying hernia is extremely rare and presents a diagnostic challenge for the general surgeon. We present an interesting case and perform a comprehensive review of the literature. METHODS Medline and PubMed were queried for all cases of spontaneous umbilical endometriosis associated with an umbilical hernia. Data was analy...

Umbilical hernia is a common problem encountered in children. The rarity of finding cecum and appendix is probably due to the fact that the appendix is seldom found in the proximity of the umbilicus. It would, therefore, appear worthwhile to report the occurrence of cecum and an inflamed appendix with Ladd's bands in an umbilical hernia of a child. The last case with similar presentation was pr...

hernial sac or subcutaneous tissue would consistently demonstrate signs of colic, this does not occur in most cases of strangulating umbilical hernias. Horses with intestinal incarceration within an umbilical hernia can have several different clinical presentations. The most common is a reducible umbilical hernia in a young horse (i.e., usually 6 to 12 months of age) that develops acute abdomin...

The common condition of infantile umbilical hernia may cause considerable concern among mothers, and there still seems to be some diversity of opinion concerning appropriate treatment. It is probable that the condition is present in one baby in six. In this paper I have considered 283 infants with umbilical hernia. The time of the first appearance of the hernia has been noted and particular att...

Hernia of umbilical cord is a well-known entity which presents with herniation of small bowel into the proximal part of umbilical cord. It has very good prognosis after surgical repair. Occasionally, it can have distinct presentations and varied malformations at the umbilicus which have bearing on the course of treatment and final outcome. Herein, we describe various presentations and malformat...

Umbilical hernias are present in up to 20% of patients with long-standing cirrhosis and 40% of those with ascites. There are some case reports of incarcerated umbilical and diaphragmatic hernias following colonoscopy. To our knowledge, this is only the second case of umbilical hernia strangulation following esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in the literature [1]. A 46-year-old white man with a h...
