We are interested in studying the genesis of a very common pathology: the human inguinal hernia. How the human inguinal hernia appears is not definitively clear, but it is accepted that it is caused by a combination of mechanical and biochemical alterations, and that muscular simulation plays an important role in this. This study proposes a model to explain how some physical parameters affect t...

OBJECTIVE Inguinal ovarian hernias are common in young girls. Many articles in medical literature recommend early surgery for inguinal ovarian hernia because of the risk of torsion of the prolapsed ovary. However, since many irreducible herniated ovaries in newborn infants and during early infancy undergo spontaneous reduction by the age of 9 months, the policy at our institute is to obtain inf...

PURPOSE To compare photon thunderbird with deep match (technique 1) with 3-field technique with electron inguinal boost (technique 2) in acute skin toxicity, toxicity-related treatment breaks and patterns of failure in elective inguinal radiation therapy (RT) for curative chemoradiation in anal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen patients treated between January 2008 and September 2010 wi...

introduction with the growing popularity of totally extraperitoneal (tep) laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, many surgeons will inevitably face the clinical conundrum of how to simultaneously repair an umbilical hernia and an inguinal hernia via tep approach. case presentation in this case report, we describe the successful use of the umbilical hernia defect to insert the balloon dissector an...

As a complication of inguinal hernia, incarcerations are often seen in emergency services. Incarceration is an acute complication of inguinal hernia presenting as surgical emergency. The sac of inguinal hernia most frequently contains omentum and intestine but sometimes organs such as appendix and Meckel's diverticulum can also be seen in the hernial sac. We present a case of Amyand's hernia co...

Inguinal hernias are a common presentation to surgical admission units throughout the world. The majority of presentations are due to hernias containing either fat or small bowel. However, a wide range of intra-abdominal viscera have been demonstrated in inguinal hernias. We report a case of an 87-year-old man who presented with gastric outlet obstruction secondary to an incarcerated inguinal h...
