Muscular hernias are an uncommon condition that typically present as subcutaneous nodules on the legs that appear or enlarge while standing or exercising. They are usually asymptomatic, although they may sometimes be tender or painful and may cause cramps, especially in athletes. Physical examination and ultrasound imaging are the key for determining the diagnosis. We present a 67-year-old woman with tender subcutaneous nodules on both lower legs in which dynamic ultrasound examination confirmed the diagnosis of muscular hernias.

Ventral hernias are abnormalities in anterior abdominal wall occurring due to an incision or are congenital. This comprehensive review and meta-analysis aim to objectively compare laparoscopic to retro-muscular or any other mesh repair approach to manage ventral incisional hernia. To identify studies that managed ventral incisional hernia using laparoscopic, open, or retro-muscular mesh repair techniques, a comprehensive literature search was performed.

Open ventral hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed surgeries by general surgeons worldwide. In the case of complex incisional hernias, there are adjunct techniques that can help abdominal wall reconstruction surgery, such as type A botulinum toxin (BTA), whose injection results in muscle relaxation and growth of muscle fiber length, allowing fascial closure without the need for advanced techniques. We report a case of a male patient who underwent ultrasound-guided BTA injection in the abdominal wall and, five days later, was admitted to our emergency department with dysarthria, muscular weakness, dyspnea on small exertion, and constipation.

Introduction: There is a growing consensus on the benefits of retro-muscular (RM) mesh positioning, highlighted by its recommendation in the latest edition of EHS guidelines. The eTEP method has facilitated minimally invasive hernia repairs with retro-muscular mesh placement. With the increasing availability of robotic systems, there has been a corresponding increase in robotic adaptations of minimally invasive techniques involving retro-muscular mesh placement.

This case report discusses a unique case of renal eventration in a cat resulting from a lumbar hernia possibly of traumatic origin. A two-year-old indoor/outdoor male neutered domestic shorthair was evaluated for a rapidly growing mass noted in the right lumbar region. Initial physical examination revealed a firm, circular and slightly mobile mass in the lumbar region, along with pain and tenderness on palpation.
