Purpose: Internal hernias are a result of bowel protrusion through a normal or abnormal intraabdominal mesenteric defect. Paraduodenal hernias comprise the most common form of congenital internal hernia however, due to the rarity of this condition, there is no consensus regarding standard of care for the surgical treatment of these hernias. We report a successful laparoscopic repair of a left s...

INTRODUCTION An interparietal inguinal hernia is a rare form of hernia. In this type of hernia, the sac passes between the layers of the abdominal wall of the inguinal canal area. Although its treatment is very simple but pre-operative diagnosis is really a challenging issue. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 62 years old male patient presented with complaint of a large swelling over right lower abdomen...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Encasing of small bowel in an anomalous accessory membrane results in peritoneal encapsulation and is a very rare cause of intestinal obstruction. It is believed to be caused by malrotation of the bowel during the 12th week of gestation and this causes the formation of an accessory sac from the peritoneum, covering the umbilicus. Left paraduodenal hernia is the most commo...

INTRODUCTION Composite mesh prostheses incorporate the properties of multiple materials for ventral hernia repair. This study evaluated a polypropylene/ePTFE composite mesh with a novel internal polydioxanone (PDO) absorbable ring. METHODS Composite mesh was placed intraperitoneally in 16 pigs through an open laparotomy and explanted at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Intraabdominal adhesions were mea...

Colonic atresia is the rarest outcome of all gastrointestinal type of internal hernia. We report a case of neonate with atresia of the transverse colon caused by herniation of the transverse colon through a defect in falciform-ligament.

Introduction: Percutaneous internal ring suturing (PIRS) method is an effective minimally invasive laparoscopic that was preferred for indirect hernia repair in children. Purpose: The aim of this study to report the evaluation surgical results our PIRS series modified with finer needle and suture diagnosis inguinal hernia, communicating hydrocele incarcerated hernia. Methods: This a retrospecti...

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...
