Abdominal wall reconstruction with component separation at the time of incisional hernia among survivors emergency laparotomy after traumatic injuries: a population-based analysis complications and healthcare utilization

IMPORTANCE Abdominal wall hernia is one of the most common conditions encountered by general surgeons. Rising rates of abdominal wall hernia repair have been described; however, population-based evidence concerning incidence rates of emergent hernia repair and changes with time are unknown. OBJECTIVE To examine trends in rates of emergent abdominal hernia repair within the United States for i...

Incisional hernias following abdominal operations are a common complication. Mesh is frequently employed in repair of these hernias. Mesh migration is an infrequent occurrence. We present the case of transmural mesh migration from the abdominal wall into the ceacum presenting as chronic abdominal pain. Given the popularity of minimally invasive surgery utilizing polypropylene mesh for incisiona...

While umbilical hernias frequently occur during pregnancy, the few reported cases of uterine or fibroid incarceration in ventral hernias during pregnancy all involved incisional abdominal wall defects from prior laparotomies and Cesarean sections; none involved umbilical hernias. We discuss the case of a 42-year-old well-developed, well-nourished grand multiparous woman (G8P7) with a huge umbil...

Intercostal incisional hernias are rarely encountered post-operative complications. Bone sequestra of the ribs are similarly rare. We report a very rare case of a left sided rib bone sequestrum mimicking an incisional hernia after a nephrectomy, splenectomy, and distal pancreatectomy.

INTRODUCTION Incidence of hernial appendicitis is 0.008%, most frequently within inguinal and femoral hernias. Up to 2.5% of appendectomy patients are found to have Crohn's disease. Elucidating the etiology of inflammation is essential for directing management. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 51-year-old female with achondroplastic dwarfism, multiple cesarean sections, and subsequent massive incisiona...

BACKGROUND Adhesions induced by biomaterials experimentally implanted in the abdominal cavity are basically studied by primary repair of different abdominal wall defects or by the correction of incisional hernias previously performed with no precise definition of the most appropriate model. AIM To describe the adhesions which occur after the development of incisional hernias, before the prost...

Background: Although uncommon, incisional hernia is a well-known complication of abdominal surgery in children and data on the pediatric age group are sparse. The aim this study was to evaluate single center’s experience with regards incidence outcome children. Materials Methods: This retrospective aged 15 years younger who developed following surgery, between January 2013 December 2017, at uni...

INTRODUCTION Incisional hernias are a common complication following abdominal surgery and they represent about 80% of all ventral hernia. In uncomplicated postoperative follow-up they can develop in about eleven percent of cases and up to 23% of cases with wound infections or other forms of wound complications. Localisation and size of the incisional hernia can vary according to the causal abdo...
