Central Mesh Failure (CMF) after abdominal wall repair (AWR) is uncommon but should be considered in case of recurrence. The mechanism is unclear and different theories are actually proposed, as the action of opposite forces acting in the abdominal wall on the prosthesis, and the characteristics of the device to be implanted. The use of lightweight meshes in some cases could be inadequate to withstand the bursting strenght of the abdominal wall. Three cases of incisional hernia recurrence due to central mesh failure are here reported. KEY WORDS: Abdominal wall repair (AWR), Central mesh failure (CMF), Hernia recurrence, Lightweight mesh.

Background & Aims: Hernia is a very common surgical condition affecting all ages and both sexes. Data regarding abdominal wall hernias is essential to hernia management in an institution. With the absence of data regarding the prevalence, characteristics, and associations of abdominal wall hernias in Sudanese patients, we aimed to describe and find the possible differences in the spectrum of abdominal hernias, their rates, and associated predisposing factors.

Background: Continent catheterizable channels (CCC) are a mainstay for reconstruction in patients with neurogenic bladders. Common complications include false passage, channel stenosis/difficult catheterization, channel incontinence, and stomal stenosis. This may result in the need for surgical revision or replacement.

Open abdomen treatment (OAT) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In cases where primary or delayed fascial closure cannot be achieved, vacuum-assisted wound closure and mesh-mediated fascial traction are indicated, which often result in a planned ventral hernia. If secondary skin closure is not feasible, common treatment of granulated abdominal defects involves split-thickness skin-grafting or healing by secondary intention leading to significant scarring and sometimes mutilating defects.

BACKGROUND Terminal ileum (TI) anastomoses present challenges due to anatomical features and pressure from the ileocecal valve (ICV). The use of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is commonly used to treat chronic skin ulcers. Its use for temporary abdominal closure following anastomosis is controversial but has shown promise in patients with inflammatory or vascular disease.
