Single incision laparoscopic surgery is used in many centres for routine cases such as appendectomy, splenectomy and cholecystectomy. Morgagni hernias are uncommon and account for 1-2% of all congenital diaphragmatic hernia. We report our first laparoscopic repair of two Morgagni hernias, using a single umbilical incision and full-thickness abdominal wall repair with standard straight laparosco...

BACKGROUND Nonbladed trocars are considered less traumatic to the abdominal wall due to the lack of fascial incision. It has been suggested that closure of the abdominal fascia may be unnecessary when such nonbladed trocars are used. CASE REPORT We report on 2 patients who were diagnosed with trocar-site hernias 2 days after laparoscopic appendectomy performed using 11-mm nonbladed trocars. ...

Traumatic abdominal wall hernias (TAWH) occur in less than one percent of trauma presentations. In the absence clinical guidelines, management is centre-specific and largely dependent on surgeon experience. This study describes TAWH a high volume Australian centre. A single centre retrospective cohort was performed. Adults with as result blunt trauma, between January 2016 July 2020, were includ...

When abdominal pain is chronic and unremitting, with minimal or no relationship to eating or bowel function but often a relationship to posture (i.e., lying, sitting, standing), the abdominal wall should be suspected as the source of pain. Frequently, a localized, tender trigger point can be identified, although the pain may radiate over a diffuse area of the abdomen. If tenderness is unchanged...

Incisional hernias of the abdominal wall occur in up to 11% of all other postoperative patients and in as many as 23% of patients with postoperative wound infections. Trocar site hernias after laparoscopic surgery are reported in up to 6% of patients. Parastomal hernia formation occurs in 28% of ileostomies and 48% of colostomies. Morbidity depends on the location and contents of the hernia, as...

Hernias of the anterior abdominal wall remain one most common surgery pathologies. There is no unified approach to modeling hernias in world scientific community. In order systematize available knowledge this field and contribute formation a idea how create hernia model laboratory animal, it seems logical study accumulated experience researchers experimental herniology. We found out that defect...

OBJECTIVE The laparoscopic treatment of eventrations and ventral hernias has been little used, although these hernias are well suited to a laparoscopic approach. The objective of this study was to investigate the usefulness of a laparoscopic approach in the surgical treatment of ventral hernias. METHODS Between January 1994 and July 1998, a series of 100 patients suffering from major abdomina...
