Laparoscopic Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh Plus (IPOM Plus) With Mobilizing the Urinary Bladder for Suprapubic Incisional Hernia Repair: A Case Report.

Ventral hernias represent a prevalent surgical complication in contemporary medical practice, with incisional hernias being a common long-term outcome following abdominal surgery. There are many risk factors for abdominal incisional hernias, including surgical history, malnutrition, obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, abdominal closure technique, and surgical site infection. Laparoscopic repair of incisional hernias is the optimal surgical approach, as it is associated with reduced hospital stays, fewer perioperative complications, and lower recurrence rates.

Minimally Invasive Enucleation of Esophageal Leiomyoma: Experience From a Single Institution.

Introduction: Esophageal leiomyoma is a rare disease, most of which are benign, and endoscopic tumor removal surgery is a widely accepted treatment method. The two surgical approaches, laparoscopic and thoracoscopic, must be selected and applied according to the tumor size and location. The study aimed to evaluate the results, feasibility, and appropriate approach of minimally invasive surgery to treat esophageal leiomyoma.

Obturator Hernia: Report of a Rare Case.

Obturator hernia, an uncommon type of abdominal wall hernia, predominantly occurs in elderly, multiparous women and often presents with nonspecific symptoms. The preoperative diagnosis of obturator hernia is particularly challenging due to its vague clinical manifestations. The clinical picture consists of intestinal blockage, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

Desmoid Tumor of the Rectus Abdominis Muscle: A Case Report.

Desmoid tumors, also referred to as aggressive fibromatosis, represent an uncommon form of fibroblastic proliferation. These neoplasms may arise within any musculoaponeurotic structure throughout the body. They are classified as benign due to several distinctive features: histologically, they exhibit regular mitotic activity and are devoid of metastatic potential.

Maintenance and Evaluation of Wolbachia Male-Killers of Dipterans.

As research on Wolbachia male-killers of dipterans increases over time, several standard methods have emerged for the validation and characterization of these Wolbachia strains. Here, we describe typical steps for maintenance and evaluation of male-killers in the laboratory. Drosophila that host Wolbachia male-killers include both mushroom-feeders and flies reared on standard media, which require different maintenance protocols.

Spigelian Hernia: A Clinical Case Report.

Spigelian hernia, also known as lateral ventral hernia, is a type of hernia arising through the Spigelian aponeurosis. Unlike many other ventral hernias that occur beneath the layer of fat and abdominal skin, Spigelian hernia is situated within the abdominal wall muscles. Spigelian hernia often presents with few symptoms and may exist for a long time without being diagnosed or detected.
