Background Context: On radiopathological examination of spinal tuberculosis (TB), 2 predominant forms are known: dry and wet types. Wet TB, as the name suggests, has abscess formation as its predominant presenting feature and is the exudative form; dry TB includes caseation and sequestration with minimal exudate. Dry TB often exhibits poorer recovery patterns than the wet counterparts, which can be possibly ascribed to vasculitis, ischemia, or tubercular myelitis, rather than isolated mechanical compression.

- The study focuses on a surgical approach called the flip-flap repair technique for treating giant ventral hernias (GVHs) with domain loss, assessing its effectiveness and complications.
- Conducted on 21 patients at a teaching hospital in central India, the technique uses the hernia sac to create layered flaps that encase a Polypropylene mesh, minimizing contact with internal organs.
- Results showed a mean follow-up of 22.3 months, with a 38% occurrence of surgical site issues (mainly infections), but no instances of mesh removal or hernia recurrence, indicating the technique's safety and efficacy across various patient profiles.
