Laparoscopic repair of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia with colon incarceration: A case report.

Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is a serious complication of blunt trauma to the abdomen or thorax. Although traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is treated with surgical repair, a laparoscopic approach is infrequently employed. Here we present the case of a 66-year-old man with a bruise on the left side of his back.

A case of a diverticulum-like giant jejunal gastrointestinal stromal tumour presenting with intraperitoneal peritonitis due to rupture.

Introduction: Early diagnosis of small intestinal gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) is difficult. These tumours often present with peritonitis and intraperitoneal bleeding due to rupture. We experienced a case of a tumor that grows to 12 cm asymptomatic.

Single-incision totally extraperitoneal hernia repair with intraperitoneal inspection of strangulated femoral hernia at risk for intestinal ischemia after repositioning: a case report.

Background: Totally extraperitoneal hernia repair and the transabdominal preperitoneal approach have advantages and disadvantages. We used the advantages of totally extraperitoneal hernia repair and the transabdominal preperitoneal approach and performed single-incision totally extraperitoneal hernia repair with intraperitoneal inspection for the treatment of strangulated femoral hernia in a patient at risk for intestinal ischemia.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a 75-year-old Japanese woman who presented with black vomiting of 5 days' duration.

Background factors influencing postgastrectomy syndromes after various types of gastrectomy.

Background: Postgastrectomy syndromes (PGS) after curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer are influenced by not only gastrectomy type but also by background factors. Recently, a nationwide PGS study was performed using the Postgastrectomy Syndrome Assessment Scale-45 (PGSAS-45) questionnaire.

Aim: To determine the influence of each background factor on PGS for each gastrectomy type using PGS assessment study (PGSAS) data as an additional analysis.

Visceral obesity is a significant risk factor for incisional hernia after laparoscopic colorectal surgery: A single-center review.

Introduction: Although laparoscopic surgery uses relatively small incisions, incisional hernia after surgery is not uncommon. However, the incidence of incisional hernia and its risk factors are not well known. The purpose of our study was to investigate risk factors for incisional hernia after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.
