Strangulation of the gallbladder associated with the omentum is extremely rare and, to our knowledge, only two cases have been previously reported. The patient was a 91-year-old female who presented to our emergency room with a chief complaint of upper abdominal pain. Computed tomography imaging revealed a gourd-shaped gallbladder with biphasic appearance divided clearly at the body. In the fundus side, the wall of the gallbladder was oedematous and thickened, while the neck side was intact. On the second day after onset, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. A tip of the omentum encircling the gallbladder was adhered to the abdominal wall and was strangling the gallbladder. By cutting the omentum at the attachment site, the strangulation was released. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed, and the patient was discharged with an uneventful course. We experienced an extremely rare case of strangulated gallbladder caused by a tip of the omentum attached to the abdominal wall.

Postoperative abdominal adhesions are the leading cause of bowel obstruction and a cause of chronic pain and infertility. Adhesion formation occurs after 50 to 90% of abdominal operations and has no proven preventative or treatment strategy. Abdominal adhesions derive primarily from the visceral peritoneum and are composed of polyclonally proliferating tissue-resident fibroblasts.

Purpose: Managing the defect after abdominal wall desmoid tumor resection is challenging due to the wide excision required. This report aims to review our institutional experience with mesh-reinforced reconstruction following desmoid tumor resection in the abdominal wall.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent abdominal wall desmoid tumor resection with mesh-reinforced reconstruction between April 2014 and January 2019.

Introduction: Abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) is associated with significant post-operative pain for which there is no standardized treatment regimen. Quadratus lumborum (QL) blocks have not been studied in open ventral hernia repair. This study reviews our institution's experience with QL blocks in open AWR.

Background: Ovarian or adnexal torsions occur when an ovary rotates around one of the supporting ligaments, often the infundibulopelvic (IP) ligament. This rotation can cause the blood flow to the ovary to be hindered, and this decrease in perfusion can often present as adnexal pain, nausea, and vomiting. A significant risk factor for developing an ovarian torsion is the presence of an ovarian mass, such as a cyst.

Purpose: Burst abdomen (BA) is a relevant complication after abdominal surgery that causes additional surgical procedures, prolonged hospital stays and long-term morbidity. Several underlying risk factors exist and have been characterized previously. Those risk factors consist of surgical and medical factors.
