Handlebar hernia, caused by low-energy impact against a handlebar, is a localized abdominal wall hernia that is blunt enough not to penetrate the skin but severe enough to cause the disruption of abdominal wall musculature. In 1964, Roberts (Br J Surg 1964;51:153) reported the first case of a traumatic abdominal wall hernia that occurred in a 9-year-old boy after a fall upon a bicycle handle. Since then, 12 other cases have been reported. To the best of our knowledge, the case described here is the first documented case of an incarcerated handlebar hernia associated with a small bowel perforation and mesenteric disruption.

Diverticular colon disease is the most common cause of colovesical fistulas, a rare and complex entity in their diagnosis and treatment. This report details the case of a 56-year-old patient who had presented with pneumaturia and gas in the vagina for six years and exudate in the abdominal wall in a midline wound. Given the suspicion, the diagnosis of the triple colonic fistula was confirmed by imaging studies: enteroatmospheric, colovesical, and colotubal, which were managed surgically.

Atherogenesis is prone in medium and large-sized vessels, such as the aorta and coronary arteries, where hemodynamic stress is critical. Low and oscillatory wall shear stress contributes significantly to endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. Murray's law minimizes energy expenditure in vascular networks and applies to small arteries.

Objective: Laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (NSS) can be performed by mainly 2 methods, offclamp or on-clamp. Continuous bleeding during the off-clamp method may impair the clear visualization of the border between the tumor and parenchyma, even though it is done safely in experienced hands. Therefore, some surgical modifications may be needed during mass excision and renorraphy.

The use of mesh repair is a frequently employed technique in the clinical management of abdominal wall defects. However, for intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM), the traditional mesh requires additional fixation methods, and these severely limit its application in the repair of abdominal wall defects. We drew inspiration from the adhesion properties of mussels for the present study, functionalized carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with dopamine (DA), and added polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to the composite to further improve the wet adhesive ability of hydrogels.
