Hernias involving the retroperitoneum are unusual. The most common of these are the paraduodenal hernias. A retroperitoneal hernia occurring from a lateral defect in the colonic retroperitoneal attachments is presented. We believe that this case represents a newly recognized variant of retroperitoneal hernias.

Gastroenterological Surgery, Tohoku Medical and Pharmaceutical University, Sendai, JPN.
Lumbar hernia (LH) is a rare abdominal wall hernia that occurs within the anatomic boundaries of the 12th rib, iliac crest, external oblique muscles, erector spinae muscles, and vertebral column. Secondary LH after urological surgery is rare, and the limited evidence hinders consensus on optimal surgical treatment. Here, we present a case of laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) repair for a large, symptomatic secondary LH after retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy (RN) with mid-term postoperative outcomes.

Herniation of intraperitoneal organs through the diaphragmatic opening is always present, however few cases mention the herniation of retroperitoneal organs, such as a kidney. Due to the rarity of this condition, the optimal treatment strategy remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
- Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition with a risk of developing into a more severe form called necrotizing pancreatitis, which is often treated using a step-up approach, including video-assisted retroperitoneal debridement (VARD).
- This study investigates the outcomes of VARD in a single-center facility in Colombia, including demographics, clinical outcomes, and long-term follow-up of patients who underwent the procedure from 2016 to 2024.
- The results showed VARD had a low complication rate and comparable outcomes to previous studies, with most patients recovering without major issues, indicating its effectiveness as a treatment option for necrotizing pancreatitis.
