Article Abstract

Abdominal wall hematoma (AWH) after blunt trauma is common, and most cases can be treated conservatively. More invasive treatment is required in patients with traumatic AWH if active bleeding is identified or there is no response to medical treatment. Herein, we report a case of endovascular embolization for traumatic subcutaneous AWH. Almost endovascular treatment for AWH is done through the deep inferior epigastric artery. However, in this case, the superficial inferior epigastric artery was the bleeding focus and embolization target. After understanding the vascular system of the abdominal wall, an endovascular approach and embolization is a safe and effective treatment option for AWH.

Background: Ventral hernias, particularly umbilical hernias, are the second most common type of abdominal wall hernias after inguinal hernias. Surgical intervention using mesh placement has become standard due to its effectiveness in reducing recurrence. Among mesh techniques, the sublay approach is widely practiced through both open and laparoscopic methods.

Background: Actinomyces graevenitzii is a relatively uncommon Actinomyces species, which is an oral species and predominantly recovered from respiratory locations [1,2]. It is a gram-positive anaerobic bacteria or microaerobic filamentation bacteria, which can induce pyogenic and granulomatous inflammation characterized by swelling and concomitant pus, sinus formation, and the formation of yellow sulfur granules. All tissues and organs can be infected; the most common type involves the neck and face (55%), followed by the abdominal and pelvic cavities (20%).

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

Ann Afr Med

September 2025

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.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is linked to various esophageal and extra-esophageal complications. While GERD is theoretically a potential risk factor for abdominal hernias, current evidence is limited. Observational studies have suggested associations between GERD and both congenital diaphragmatic hernia and hiatal hernia.
