Abdominal wall reconstruction aims at restoring the anatomical, functional and aesthetic integrity of this region, while providing protection of abdominal viscera and prevent herniation. There are various techniques used for abdominal wall reconstruction. We present a difficult case of abdominal wall reconstruction performed with a pedicled antero-lateral thigh (ALT] flap with good postoperative results.

Purpose: The authors illustrate their results in the surgical treatment of symptomatic thoracic disc herniations (TDHs) by comparing the traditional open to the less invasive retropleural lateral approaches.
Methods: Retrospective review of 94 consecutive cases treated at a single Institution between 1988 and 2014. Fifty-two patients were males, 42 females, mean age was 53.
Analysis of the learning curve of the surgical procedure for the treatment of thoracic disc herniation using anterolateral transthoracic approach with the aid of image-guided system.

Background: In surgery, the learning process represents one of the critical topics in the development of a young surgeon where there is often no standardized learning program. The learning curve is defined by plotting proficiency as a function of time, or the number of repetitions. In this study, we analyzed the learning process for a rare and surgically demanding pathology such as thoracic disc herniations (TDHs) treated with an antero-lateral trans-thoracic approach.

Introduction: Neuraxial drug delivery via intrathecal drug delivery systems (IDDS) is becoming an increasingly common mode of treating intractable cancer-related pain, chronic pain, or severe spasticity. An implanted infusion pump delivers medication into the intrathecal (subarachnoid) space via a thin catheter. These pumps are commonly placed in the anterior abdominal wall.

The performance of hernia treatment could benefit from more extensive knowledge of the mechanical behavior of the abdominal wall in a healthy state. To supply this knowledge, the antero-lateral abdominal wall was characterized in vivo on 11 healthy volunteers during 4 activities: rest, pullback loading, abdominal breathing and the "Valsalva maneuver". The elasticity of the abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis, obliquus externus, obliquus internus and transversus abdominis) was assessed using ultrasound shear wave elastography.
