In the management of giant incisional hernias with loss of domain several surgical obstacles have to be addressed. Adequate coverage of the defect using mesh, sufficient local tissue advancement and prevention of wound and mesh infections are prerequisites for success. We present a case of a complicated giant incisional hernia repair after oncologic surgery, in which we chose for an intraabdominal mesh repair using a composite mesh. The patient developed a wound dehiscence and mesh infection, successfully treated with negative pressure therapy followed by a free ALT perforator flap. Several surgical techniques are discussed to manage these complicated hernias, such as progressive pneumoperitoneum, the component separation technique and the importance of soft tissue coverage (e.g. anterolateral thigh flap). In cases of wound complications, negative pressure therapy and new soft tissue coverage are discussed.

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma in the maxillary sinus: a case report.
J Med Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, School of Dentistry, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran.
Background: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, previously called malignant fibrous histiocytoma, is a type of malignant mesenchymal tumor (sarcoma) of soft tissue and sometimes bone. It is uncommon in the oral cavity and very sporadic in the maxillary sinus. Microscopic diagnosis of this malignancy in the maxillary sinus can be very challenging, because there is a range of features that may overlap with other benign and malignant tumors.

Case Presentation: A 49-year-old man developed fever, left flank pain, and a large mass in his left abdomen.
Article Synopsis
- * A study assessed the impact of preoperative Botulinum Toxin A (BTA) injections on reducing the need for component separation techniques (CST) and surgical complications in patients undergoing hernia repair.
- * Results showed that patients receiving BTA had a significantly lower need for CST (46% vs. 84%) and experienced fewer postoperative complications, indicating BTA can improve surgical outcomes for giant hernias.
Does defect size matter in abdominal wall reconstruction with successful fascial closure?
Surgery
October 2024
Division of Gastrointestinal and Minimally Invasive Surgery, Department of Surgery, Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte, NC. Electronic address:
Background: Conflicting literature suggests that larger defects in abdominal wall reconstruction both increase the risk of recurrence and have no impact on recurrence. In our prior work, hernias with defect areas ≥100 cm were associated with increased discomfort, operative time, and length of stay but not recurrence or reoperation. Our goal was to determine if defect size, even in giant hernias, would impact recurrence after mesh repair with complete fascial closure.

September 2024
Division of Periodontology, College of Dentistry, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA.
Background: Calcifying odontogenic cysts (Gorlin cysts) most commonly present centrally and have only rarely been reported in peripheral locations. The purpose of this report is to describe a new case of peripheral calcifying odontogenic cyst (PCOC) occurring in the anterior maxillary gingiva and to review the management and differential diagnosis of such a lesion.
Methods: A 37-year-old female presented with a long-standing submucosal nodule on the gingiva between the maxillary central incisors, with asymptomatic growth over the last three years.
