Broad ligament hernia is a rare type of internal hernia. We herein report a case of broad ligament hernia successfully treated by needlescopic surgery. A 41-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a complaint of nausea and vomiting. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed diffuse dilatation of the small bowel accompanied by a caliber change at the right side of the uterus. She was thus diagnosed with small bowel obstruction due to incarceration through right broad ligament hernia. After bowel decompression, she underwent elective needlescopic surgery using 2- and 3-mm instruments. The defect in the right broad ligament was closed with sutures, and she was discharged 2 days after surgery. In the treatment of broad ligament hernia without bowel ischemia, neither an abdominal incision nor any energy devices are required. In this respect, needlescopic surgery seems to be a promising approach among minimally invasive surgeries.

Background: Tobacco use is a known modifiable risk factor for postoperative complications and revision surgery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Previous studies focus on tobacco as a broad categorization of traditional smoking, smokeless tobacco, and other forms of nicotine use. It is unclear if differences in the type of nicotine used lead to similar adverse outcomes after ACLR.

Adnexal torsion is a well-recognized gynecologic emergency; however, uterine torsion is less well-known. The majority of uterine torsions occur in gravid uteri; torsion in postmenopausal patients is rare. We report a case of uterine and bilateral adnexal torsion in a postmenopausal woman due to a large leiomyoma.

Current trends in the medial side of the knee: not only medial collateral ligament (MCL).

J Orthop Traumatol

December 2024

Clinica Ortopedica E Traumatologica 2, IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, Via Pupilli, 1, 40136, Bologna, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most frequently injured knee ligament, known for its broad coverage and strong healing capacity due to good blood supply.
  • Past treatment for MCL injuries was mainly conservative, but recent discoveries about the ligament's complex structure and movement have changed this perspective.
  • The review aims to inform readers about new findings on the MCL's anatomy, biomechanics, and the evolving approaches to its treatment.
