The components-separation technique was originally described and has been popularised for the treatment of large midline hernias. In this report, we indicate that components separation can also be applied for the closure of transverse non-midline hernias, provided the largest diameter of the defect (i.e., the transverse axis) corresponds to a size typically amenable to be closed by this technique. This idea will help surgeons in considering technical options available when facing patients with transverse incisional hernias and not willing to add prosthetic materials to a complicated abdominal wall.

Surgical technique for epigastric incisional hernia after omphalocele repair: bilateral modified composite flaps using the upper rectus abdominis muscle and the vertically inverted flap of the lower rectus abdominis fascia.

We present a patient who developed an incisional hernia, from epigastrium to umbilicus, after omphalocele repair. The hernia gradually enlarged to a 10 cm × 10 cm defect with significant rectus abdominis muscle diastasis at the costal arch attachment point. At 6 years of age, the abdominal wall defect in the umbilical region was closed using the components separation technique.

Exosomes-like nanoparticles (ELNs) (exosomes or extracellular vesicles) are vesicle-like bodies secreted by cells. Plant ELNs (PENs) are membrane vesicles secreted by plant cells, with a lipid bilayer as the basic skeleton, enclosing various active substances such as proteins and nucleic acids, which have many physiological and pathological functions. Recent studies have found that the PENs are widespread within different plant species and their biological functions are increasingly recognized.

In the past, various techniques had been described to repair large complex ventral hernias. Laparoscopic technique of components separation showed low complication rates and better overall outcome. Recently, Botulinum Toxin A (BTA) has shown benefit in achieving tension-free repair.

Background: Large subcostal incisional hernias are considered as complex defects, and a few different approaches have been described for repair. The purpose of this comparative cross-sectional study is to evaluate the outcomes of patients with large subcostal incisional hernias treated with either the open anterior components separation technique (ACS) or with the open transversus abdominis release technique (TAR).
Methods: From the database of patients with large complex incisional hernias who underwent abdominal wall reconstruction with open techniques between April 2007 and October 2022 at our institution, on May 25th, 2023 we identified those whose hernias were located in the subcostal areas and who underwent reconstruction with a components separation technique and mesh.

Objective: To evaluate outcomes and performance of inverted limbs (ILs) when used in conjunction with Zenith fenestrated stent grafts (Zfens) to treat patients with short distance between the lowest renal artery (RA) and aortic or graft bifurcation (A/GB).
Methods: This study was a multicenter, retrospective review of prospectively maintained database of patients with complex aortic aneurysms, failed endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), or open surgical repair (OSR) with short distance between LRA and A/GB treated using a combination of Zfen and an IL between 2013 and 2023. Endpoints included technical success, aneurysm sac regression, long-term device integrity, and target vessel patency.
