INTRODUCTION This report presents a primary Mullerian carcinosarcoma localized in the incisional hernia i.e. anterior abdominal wall.There is no data in the literature about this localization of extragenital Mullerian carcinosarcoma. CASE OUTLINE The patient had previous medical history of right-sided ovarian cystadenocarcinoma managed by hysterectomy, bilateral ovariectomy and chemotherapy. ...

Handlebar hernia is a rare, traumatic, abdominal wall hernia caused by high-velocity direct trauma. It involves disruption of the abdominal wall muscles, with bowel loop herniated through the defect in the abdominal wall, and may have major or even lethal complications. We report a case of bicycle-handlebar hernia in a 9-year-old boy who had all layers of his abdominal wall disrupted by a fall ...

Traumatic abdominal wall hernia is a relatively uncommon finding secondary to blunt trauma. We report a unique case of laparoscopic diagnosis and immediate repair of a traumatic anterior abdominal wall hernia after blunt abdominal trauma.

The most familiar type of hernia occurs in the abdomen and the causes are either abdominal wall weakness or intraabdominal hypertension, or both. Most abdominal wall hernias result from a weakness in the abdominal wall that may be either congenital or acquired (most are incisional). Although denervative hernia or bulge produced by nerve damage and muscle paralysis is not a new entity of hernia ...

An interstitial hernia is one in which the hernia sac is located between the layers of the abdominal wall. The analysis of contemporary literature shows that interstitial hernias are most often seen in children as a type of inguinal hernia and often accompany undescended testis. The hernia sac is usually located between the external-oblique and internal-oblique muscles in a lateral-cephalic dir...

Superior lumbar triangle hernia, also known as Grynfeltt-Lesshaft hernia, denotes a subtype of abdominal wall hernia, and more specifically of lumbar hernia, occurring between the 12th rib, the internal oblique muscle, and the quadratus lumborum muscle. We report the case of a 92-year-old female patient in which this form of hernia occurred, complicated by incarceration and acute bowel obstruct...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether primary or mesh herniorrhaphy reverses abdominal wall atrophy and fibrosis associated with hernia formation. BACKGROUND We previously demonstrated that hernia formation is associated with abdominal wall atrophy and fibrosis after 5 weeks in an animal model. METHODS A rat model of chronic incisional hernia was used. Groups consisted of uninjured control (UC, n ...

A hernia is defined as an area of weakness or complete disruption of the fibromuscular tissues of the body wall. Hernias are among the oldest known afflictions of humankind. The word “hernia” is derived from a Latin term meaning “a rupture”. The earliest reports of abdominal wall hernias date back to 1500 BC. During this early era, abdominal wall hernias were treated with trusses or bandage dre...

Abdominal wall hernia is common but reliable scientific data about its work relatedness is very limited and inconsistent. In this paper, a less common type of abdominal wall hernia in a 30 year old male worker is presented with recurrence after first surgery when he returned to work. In contrast with almost all kinds of hernia, a lifelong limitation for heavy lifting was recommended. It seems t...
