Incisional Hernias with Loss of Abdominal Domain: A New Look to an Older Issue or the Elephant in the Living Room. Literature Review.

Incisional hernia (IH) is a postoperative defect of the abdominal wall through which the contents of the peritoneal cavity are externalized beneath the skin in a peritoneal sac. IH differs in anatomic complexity, but also in its associated comorbidities and surgical history. As IH enlarges, complications occur and these become part of its natural history.

Clinical-Pathological Correlations in the Acute Surgical Abdomen in the Pre and Post-Pandemic Period Covid-19.

In the case of patients admitted with acute abdomen at the emergency department, interstitial pulmonary pathology (Covid-19 infections) represents a significant operative risk for the patients. The rate of postoperative complications is high with increased morbidity and mortality, a real challenge for the medical staff and surgical/intensive care unit teams. In emergency settings, patients were examined with targeted clinical and paraclinical parameters that assure a fast diagnosis to optimize a rapid medical and surgical treatment.
