Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is an important stage of precancerous lesions of gastric cancer. Effective treatment and regulation of CAG are essential to prevent its progression to malignancy. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has shown multi-targeted efficacy in CAG treatment, with advantages in enhancing gastric mucosal barrier defense, improving microcirculation, modulating inflammatory and immune responses, and promoting lesion healing, . Clinical studies and meta-analyses indicate that TCM provides significant benefits, with specific Chinese herbal compounds and monomers demonstrating protective effects on the gastric mucosa through mechanisms including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, and regulation of cellular proliferation and apoptosis, . Finally, it is pointed out that the efficacy of TCM in the treatment of CAG requires standardized research and unified standards, and constantly clarifies and improves the evaluation criteria of each dimension of gastric mucosal barrier function.

Incisional hernia of abdominal wall is one of the most common complications following open surgery. Giant incisional hernia of abdominal wall is defined as having a maximum defect diameter >12 cm or a hernia sac volume-to-abdominal cavity volume ratio >20%. The Primary treatment for giant incisional hernia of abdominal wall is surgical repair; however, both open surgery and conventional laparoscopic surgery are associated with significant technical difficulty, high surgical trauma, frequent postoperative complications, and suboptimal outcomes.
