In this work the results of autopsy are presented--of a 45 years old man who died because of complications of cirrhosis in 24 months after repairing a postoperative hernia with the Matapurkar's "peritoneal sandwich" and polypropylene mesh. Macroscopically and histopathologically it has been shown that gradual healing of the mesh ends with formation of alloplastic-tissue connective structure, called neofascia that fills in the defect in fascia of the abdominal wall. Inflammatory process around implanted mesh maintains even after several months. It seems that parietal peritoneum of hernia sac that surrounds polypropylene mesh may have a tendency towards metaplasia in the direction of tissue-connective fascia layer.

Purpose: While surgeons agree that perioperative field blocks should be performed for open inguinal hernia surgery, there lacks consensus in the minimally invasive context. Prior small-scale randomized trials study pain scores only up to 24 h postoperatively. Thus, we sought to investigate the analgesic benefits of a bupivacaine transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in the first 4 postoperative days.

Background: A giant encephalocele associated with Chiari malformation is a rare congenital anomaly from a cephalad neural tube defect. Early prenatal diagnosis and parental counseling are essential; as early surgical intervention can improve outcomes.
Methods: Between 2010 and 2023, twenty-seven newborns out of 43,815 delivered at our institution were diagnosed with encephaloceles, including seven cases of giant encephalocele associated with Chiari malformation type III.

Fucosidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by α-L-fucosidase deficiency following a mutation in the gene. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down fucose-containing glycoproteins, glycolipids, and oligosaccharides within the lysosome. Mutations in result in either reduced enzyme activity or complete loss of function, leading to the accumulation of fucose-rich substrates in lysosomes.
