Spigelian hernia occurs through slit like defect in the anterior abdominal wall adjacent to the semilunar line. Most of spigelian hernias occur in the lower abdomen where the posterior sheath is deficient. The hernia ring is a well-defined defect in the transverses aponeurosis. The hernial sac, surrounded by extraperitoneal fatty tissue, is often interparietal passing through the transversus an...

Internal hernias of the abdomen are uncommon. They represent less than 1% of bowel obstruction cases. The left Paraduodenal hernia (PH) is the most frequent type of internal hernias. We report a case of 77 year- old woman consulting for bowel obstruction evolving since two days. The abdominal computed tomography revealed a retroperitoneal small bowel contained in a peritoneal sac. The surgical ...

Intestinal obstruction after liver transplant is a rare complication, with diverse clinical manifestations. Intestinal adhesion is the most common cause. However, internal hernia, abdominal wall hernia, and neoplasm are also reported. Intussusception is another rare cause of intestinal obstruction, which has been reported primarily in pediatric patients. Herein, we report a case of intestinal o...

Internal intestinal hernia has been defined as bulging of the intestines through a normal or an abnormal peritoneal or mesenteric opening. Paraduodenal hernias comprise 30%-53% of all internal intestinal herniations and account for 0.2%-0.9% of all bowel obstructions. In this paper, we aimed to present a male patient of 42 years of age who developed intestinal obstruction due to left paraduoden...

INTRODUCTION Internal hernias are a rare cause of small bowel obstruction and are estimated to account for 1% to 5% of cases. Herniation through a defect in the sigmoid mesocolon constitutes 6% of all internal hernias. CASE PRESENTATION In this case report we describe a rare case of a fit and healthy 60-year-old man, with no previous history of abdominal surgery, who presented with signs and ...

Introduction: Intestinal obstruction is commonly seen at emergency services but is not usually caused by internal hernias (organs or intestinal tract invaginated in the abdominal cavity, purse and hiatus). Herniation through defects of the broad ligament is especially rare. In this study, we report a case that was difficult to diagnose due to a lack of useful information; a 49-year-old woman wi...

UNLABELLED The umbilical area can present with a variety of signs associated with an intra abdominal malignancy. An umbilical/paraumbilical hernia might itself be a sign of an internal malignancy. The correlation between the presence of an umbilical/paraumbilical hernia and an intra abdominal malignancy has been previously based only on case reports. The aim of the study was to evaluate the sig...

A Spigelian hernia is a very rare type of anterior abdominal wall hernia. The etiology revolves around the dehiscence transverse abdominis and internal oblique aponeurosis. majority hernias develop in lower abdomen where posterior sheath absent. This condition also known as spontaneous lateral ventral or semilunar line. It mostly asymptomatic generally proven by radiological diagnosis. In worst...

background trocar site, incisional hernia is one of the serious complications of laparoscopic surgery. as a result, many surgeons prefer to close the fascia, especially in those sites where a trocar of 10 mm in size or larger has been inserted. on the other hand, suturing the fascia may lead to damage of other tissues, such as the intestines; hence, some surgeons prefer not to close the fascia....
