Repair of incisional hernias was compared with four different techniques in 55 patients to determine the best method of repair with least chance of recurrence. The maximum incidence of incisional hernia was seen in 30-39 years age group and was most frequently seen after gynaecological surgery (37 cases). Forty eight (88%) patients were operated in emergency by trainee surgeons. Most hernias oc...

A 36-year-old manual worker presented in her second pregnancy at 34 weeks of gestation with an unusual bulge of her abdomen. The lower abdominal bulge turned out to be her gravid uterus herniated through an anterior abdominal wall incisional hernia which is a rare but serious obstetric situation with complications such as premature labour, intrauterine growth retardation, strangulation, intraut...

Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BMPM) is a rare disease arising from the peritoneal mesothelium. Here, we report a 57-year-old woman admitted to our unit with an incisional hernia fifteen years later following her first operation due to BMPM. Computerized tomography demonstrated a cystic appearing mass with intraabdominal extension in hernia sac. The patient underwent en bloc resect...

The patient is a 54-year-old woman with a history of obesity (BMI=50.40). In 2012, she underwent surgery for incarcerated umbilical hernia, which did not require intestinal resection. She currently presented a midline laparotomy incisional hernia, which had caused several hospitalizations due to intestinal obstruction that had resolved with conservative measures. Abdominal CT revealed a giant i...

BACKGROUND Literature is scarce about spontaneous rupture of hernia because spontaneous rupture of here is uncommon (1). Reported cases are complications of incisional hernias, recurrent inguinal hernia, and umbilical hernias. It is potentially life threatening (1) because the ensuing entrapment and tension on bowel mesentery may lead to vasovagal shock or strangulation. In addition to systemic...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Trocar-site incisional hernia following laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is reported to have a relatively high incidence. The main reasons are trocar diameter and design, pre-existing fascial defects, and some operation- and patient-related factors. The aim of this article to show a new technique of ventral hernia repair that could prevent trocar site incisional hern...

BACKGROUND Various randomized studies have evaluated techniques of abdominal fascia closure but controversy remains, leaving surgeons uncertain about the optimal method of preventing incisional hernia. METHOD Medline and Embase databases were searched. All trials with a follow-up of at least 1 year that randomized patients with midline laparotomies to closure of the fascia by different suture...

laparoscopic trocar site interparietal hernia is a rare type of incisional hernia, which has been rarely reported. this type of hernia is usually observed when the fascia or peritoneum is not repaired or not completely closed. this complication may lead to some serious problems. we aimed to report a case of port site interparietal hernia after laparoscopic splenectomy.

Objectives: To study the relation of incisional hernias after abdominal aortic surgery and to study the recommendations for prevention of incisional hernias in general. Methods: An extensive search in Pub-Med was conducted. We used the following MeSH terms; abdominal aortic aneurysm; incisional hernia; inguinal hernia; incisional hernia and radiology, abdominal wound closure, we also did a “sno...

BACKGROUND Mesh repair of incisional hernia is superior to the conventional technique. From all available materials for open surgery polypropylene (PP) is the most widely used. Development resulted in meshes with larger pore size, decreased mesh surface and lower weight. The aim of this retrospective non randomized study was to compare the quality of life in the long term follow up (> 72 month)...
