Article Abstract
Abdominal wall hernias rarely cause obstruction of the urinary tract. We present the case of a patient undergoing regular smooth dilatations for urethral stricture since 8 years who developed right inguinoscrotal swelling and narrowing of urinary stream since 2 years of age. There was a growing difficulty in dilatation due to path distortion of urethra by the hernia. He had a history of open suprapubic cystostomy (SPC) 8 years ago. The patient refused surgery till he landed with an inability to pass dilators and difficulty in passing urine. He was taken up for right inguinal exploration with internal optic urethrotomy (IOU). Intraoperatively, he was found to have right inguinal hernia with incisional hernia at the site of SPC which was repaired and a cystoscopy revealed urethral deviation with anterior urethral stricture for which IOU was done. Postoperatively, the patient's urethral tract straightened and his urinary complaints resolved. A complex hernia can cause urethral deviation and obstruction due to pressure effects of its contents and should be repaired at an early stage.

Swiss Cheese Configuration of Incisional Hernia following Trauma: Role of Open Sublay Mesh Repair.
Ann Afr Med

Department of General Surgery, Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, Maharashtra, India.
Incisional hernia is a frequent postoperative complication following laparotomy, often associated with significant morbidity and recurrence. We present the case of a 47-year-old male with a history of blunt abdominal trauma and prior exploratory laparotomy, who presented with multiple anterior abdominal wall defects. Clinical examination and imaging confirmed a "Swiss cheese" configuration of incisional hernias.

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Objectives: Laparoscopic repair of giant paraesophageal hernia (LGPEHR) is a complex operation and typically includes an antireflux procedure (ARS); however, some patients without a history of reflux may be able to avoid an ARS. The objective of this study was to evaluate an alternative approach for giant paraesophageal hernia (GPEH) repair with restoration of the normal anatomy and an extended gastropexy in selected patients with minimal reflux symptoms.
Methods: Patients who underwent GPEH repair with an extended gastropexy were reviewed retrospectively.

Objective: This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of single-port versus multi-port laparoscopic surgery in pediatric inguinal hernia repair through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted up to December 2024. Studies comparing single-port and multi-port laparoscopic surgery in pediatric inguinal hernia patients were included.
Carbonell-Bonafé Component Separation Technique for Giant Recurrent Ventral Hernia With Loss of Domain: A Case Report.

Surgery, Hospital General de Zona 1, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Tepic, MEX.
Complex ventral hernias pose a significant surgical challenge, particularly those with large defects or loss of domain. Traditional techniques may be associated with high complication rates or insufficient defect coverage. The modified Carbonell-Bonafé anatomical component separation (ACS) technique offers an innovative approach to achieve tension-free closure and functional abdominal wall reconstruction.

Unit of Abdominal wall surgery, Department of Digestive Surgery, Hospital Universitari i Poltecnic La Fe, Calle Gabriel Miró 28, puerta 12, Valencia, 46008, Spain.
Background: This study aimed to analyze the outcomes of patients undergoing ventral hernia repair (VHR) with a polypropylene mesh with embedded silver ions (PSM) in the context of different degrees of contamination, compared to standard conventional macroporous polypropylene mesh (PPL).
Methods: From May 2019 to October 2023, a retrospective comparative analysis of patients who underwent elective or urgent VHR with a SilverMesh (PSM group) versus standard macroporous polypropylene mesh (PPL group), based on the Spanish Hernia registry (EVEREG). The exclusion criteria were other PSM indications (groin hernia, prophylaxis) and the use of composite meshes or any material different to PPL.
