Internal hernia due to mesenteric defect or transmesenteric hernia is a rare cause of acute intestinal obstruction. Its diagnosis is most often done during surgery. The knowledge of its clinical peculiarities allows the preoperative diagnosis. We here report 2 cases of acute intestinal obstruction secondary to congenital transmesenteric hernia in two adult patients. This study aims to highlight the clinical peculiarities of this rare form of internal hernia.

Spermatic cord sarcomas (SCS) are a group of mesenchymal tumors whose rarity and anatomical location often lead to clinical misdiagnosis such as inguinal hernia, testicular tumor, or other conditions. Any inguinoscrotal mass with suspicious characteristics should prompt clinicians to perform imaging assessments (such as ultrasound or, in uncertain cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) and refer the patient promptly to a specialized center. Histological characterization of all suspicious masses via percutaneous biopsy is recommended, with staging completed through computed tomography (CT) scan for confirmed cases.

Purpose: The most common surgical intervention in childhood is inguinal hernioplasty. The advantage of laparoscopic approach is still questionable, therefore our aim was to compare open hernia repair (OHR) and PIRS (Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing) technique at the authors' institute.
Methods: An observational retrospective cohort study was conducted between 2013 and 2021.

Purpose: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are stable, non-coding RNAs with tissue- and developmental-specific expression making them suitable biomarkers for congenital anomalies. Current circRNA discovery pipelines have focused on human and mouse. We aim to bridge this gap by combining bioinformatics resources and used circtial1 as a model candidate in the nitrofen rat model of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
