Background: Management of subcostal incisional hernias is particularly complicated due to their proximity to the costochondral limits in addition to the lack of aponeurosis on the lateral side of the abdomen. We present our results of posterior component separation through the same previous incision as a safe and reproducible technique for these complex cases.
Methods: We present a multicenter and prospective cohort of patients diagnosed with bilateral subcostal incisional hernias on either clinical examination or imaging based on computed tomography from 2014 to 2020.
Article Synopsis
- Jejunal artery aneurysms (JAAs) are very rare, accounting for less than 1% of all visceral artery aneurysms and typically affect middle-aged men.
- A case of a 49-year-old woman with a 4×5 cm intact JAA was discovered incidentally during a CT scan, prompting successful elective surgery for its complete removal.
- Management of JAAs lacks a clear consensus due to limited case reports, but they are generally treated similarly to other visceral artery aneurysms, especially if they are larger than 2 cm or symptomatic, with surgery being the preferred method in emergencies.
Introduction: Spontaneous haematoma of the rectus abdominis muscle is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain. It occurs mostly in anticoagulated patients. The objective of this paper is to analyse the onset, diagnosis and treatment in patients under anticoagulant therapy.

They are more frequent in stomach and hardly one hundred cases have been described in colon. According to Lewis, they are classified into collision (side by side pattern), composite (intermingled) or amphicrine (neuroendocrine and glandular features inside a same cell).

Presentation Of A Case: We report a case of ileocolic intussusception in an adult caused by a giant ileal lipoma.
The appearance of subcapsular liver hematoma after a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is an infrequent complication and seldom studied. Some cases have been connected to ketorolac given during surgery and after surgery. Other described causes are : hemangiomas or small iatrogenic lesions that could be aggravated by administration of ketorolac.
