Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is very rare in adults. The first choice of treatment is surgery, but the optimal surgical method remains unclear. We performed laparoscopic surgeries for two types of congenital diaphragmatic hernias using a novel mesh coated with a chemically modified substance. The first patient was a 65-year-old man with a Bochdalek hernia without a hernial sac, and the other patient was an 80-year-old woman with a Morgagni hernia with a hernial sac. The short-term outcomes of both cases were good, and laparoscopic repair seems to be a useful strategy regardless of the presence or absence of a hernial sac.

Department of Anesthesiology, The First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, The Affiliated Hospital of Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming, China.
Background: Ultrasound-guided nerve block can be used for perioperative analgesia and can potentially improve the course of recovery. Although iliohypogastric-ilioinguinal nerve block has been successfully used for inguinal hernia surgery, the poor blocking effect of intraoperative traction reflex remains a major drawback of this technique. The main objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of single-point ultrasound-guided iliohypogastric-ilioinguinal-genitofemoral nerve (GFN) blockage for open anterior inguinal hernia repair in older adults.

Background: The risk of injury to the ovary and/or fallopian tube during herniotomy is notably high when these structures are involved in the hernial contents of female children. This study evaluates the impact of herniotomy involving the ovary and fallopian tube on secondary sexual characteristics and fertility.
Methods: The medical records for all female children with inguinal hernia who underwent surgery from January 2000 to December 2010 were reviewed retrospectively (n = 1623).
