Unlabelled: Amniotic band syndrome is a constrictive phenomenon in fetal development that can provoke limb autoamputation, malformation, trunk division, and umbilical cord strangulation. The latter two complications will ultimately lead to fetal demise if left untreated. If detected early enough, select cases may benefit from prenatal resection of the amniotic bands, thus preventing amputation and fetal death.

Aims This study aims to analyse the type of repair and post-op outcomes for individuals who underwent surgical intervention and presented with symptomatic abdominal wall hernia as an emergency. It highlights the importance of timely elective hernia management in lowering emergency presentations and any related complications. Background Abdominal wall hernias are common surgical conditions that can present electively or as emergencies, with emergency cases being associated with higher complication rates.

Better understanding of and addressing umbilical entanglement in the third trimester of pregnancy is necessary to estimate its impact on fetal circulation. An analysis of single physiological pregnancies wrapped with one or two coils of the umbilical cord around the neck makes it possible to understand the severity of the problem and distinguish it from perinatal umbilical strangulation. In an echocardiographic study performed at 32.

Background Congenital umbilical and inguinal hernias are prevalent in infants and children. The exact incidence of congenital umbilical hernias remains unclear due to their typically asymptomatic nature, resulting in limited medical attention-seeking by parents. As these hernias are associated with serious complications such as incarceration, strangulation, and, rarely, obstruction, timely recognition and early medical intervention play a critical role in preventing these complications.
