Internal hernias are very rare in clinical practice. Because of a wide range of symptoms that can sometimes be non-specific, surgeons often disregard internal hernias in the spectrum of differential diagnosis in acute abdomen. Finding the diagnosis before an internal hernia causes an acute abdomen is sometimes difficult despite modern diagnostic tools. Reason for diagnosis delay is mostly becau...

Background: In children with unilateral inguinal hernia, there is a debate about exploration of the contralateral side. Herniogrhaphy, diagnostic pneumoperitoneum, and intra-operative laparoscopy are procedures that have been proposed to reduce number negative side explorations in presenting congenital hernia. However, most them invasive methods. our study we suggest using ultrasonography detec...

Case Description.: In this present study three cases of perineal hernia in dogs have beenpresented and new concepts in perineal herniorrhaphy have been introduced.

INTRODUCTION Percutaneous internal ring suturing (PIRS) is a method of laparoscopic herniorrhaphy, i.e. percutaneous closure of the internal inguinal ring under the control of a telescope placed in the umbilicus. AIM To evaluate the usefulness of the PIRS technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-five children (39 girls and 16 boys) underwent surgery using this method in our institution between...

Mesenteric defects are often not closed in laparoscopic colectomy. We herein report a case of an internal hernia projecting through a mesenteric defect following laparoscopy-assisted right hemicolectomy. A 74-year-old woman was hospitalized for the surgical treatment of double colon cancer. Preoperative colonoscopy demonstrated the presence of ascending colon and transverse colon cancers. A lap...

INTRODUCTION The incidence of occlusion syndrome caused by internal hernia is very rare, in particular when the defect is congenital discovered in adults with no previous abdominal surgery. PRESENTATION OF CASE We present a case of a 31 year-old female patient who presented with acute abdominal pain and mechanical obstruction. The patient had never undergone abdominal surgery. DISCUSSION On...

INTRODUCTION Umbilical surgeries are frequent in cattle. The most frequent condition is the umbilical hernia. With an increase in the number of calves born through in vitro fertilization, pathologies involving the embryonic internal structures are more frequent. This presentation will review the principles of hernia repair and will discuss challenging umbilical surgeries. First, the use of the ...

A female infant weighing 2,200 g was delivered at 34 weeks of gestation by vaginal delivery. She presented with an irreducible mass in the left inguinal region at 32 days of age. An ultrasonography (US) was performed and an incarcerated hernia containing uterus, fallopian tube, and ovary was diagnosed preoperatively. Surgery was performed through an inguinal approach; the uterus, fallopian tube...
