To clarify the controversies regarding therapeutic possibilities, indications, and surgical techniques for umbilical and epigastric hernia repair....
A systematic review and qualitative analysis of randomized clinical trials published in the last 20 years, involving adults (aged 18 years and over) with umbilical and/or epigastric hernias, was perfo...
Initially, 492 studies were selected and, subsequently, 15 randomized controlled clinical trials were chosen that met the inclusion criteria and underwent full reading and qualitative analysis, consid...
This review concluded that it is evident the superiority of the use of meshes in the repair of epigastric/primary umbilical hernias with a defect larger than 1 cm, even in certain emergency situations...
BACKGROUND Chylous ascites is defined as the development of lipid-rich ascitic fluid in the peritoneal cavity. The formation of chylous ascites revolves around non-portal-based and portal-based etiolo...
Umbilical hernias (UHs) are commonly underdiagnosed due to their asymptomatic presentation. The aim was to determine the prevalence of UHs by computed tomography (CT) in a trauma center, to assess the...
A cross-sectional study was designed, using CT studies to evaluate the integrity of the abdominal wall. The images were obtained from consecutive cases of adult patients (≥18 y) from the database of t...
A total of 472 CT scans were included with a 67.6% (n = 319) prevalence of UH. These were most common in men (58.9%, n = 188/319), but women were more likely to have UH ≥ 10 mm (55%, n = 72/131). Of t...
CT is an effective imaging tool for diagnosing UH. There is a high prevalence among the general adult population, with a high radiologic underreporting....
Littre's hernia is an extremely rare type of hernia which has Meckel's diverticulum as its content. A 63-year-old male, presented to the emergency department with chief complaints of swelling and pain...

This study was a retrospective observational study conducted for two years (August 2020 to July 2022) in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, at the tertiary health care center of UP, India....
During this two-year duration, a total of 10 cases with CHUC were seen in our department and were surgically managed. In this study, out of these 10 patients (male 7 and female 3), eight had normal ga...
Congenital hernia of the umbilical cord induces stress on parents and relatives. In this study, we conclude that the majority of cases had normal gastrointestinal tract and had no serious postoperativ...
The T-line hernia mesh is a synthetic, polypropylene mesh specifically designed to prevent anchor point failure by evenly distributing tension through mesh suture extensions. This case series illustra...
This study is a retrospective, consecutive cases series of all adult patients presenting to a single surgeon with symptomatic umbilical hernia requiring surgical repair using the T-line hernia mesh. P...
Three patients presented for UHR. All three patients were obese with mean body mass index of 37.5 ± 6.6. Two patients were former smokers, and two had presented after hernia recurrence. The average de...
We present a case series of three patients presenting with large, symptomatic umbilical hernias who underwent UHR with T-line hernia mesh reinforcement without short term complications or hernia recur...
Umbilical hernia repair can be easily performed simultaneously with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The use of mesh is recommended for hernias larger than 1 cm. In this study, patients with primary repa...
The records of patients who underwent primary repair of umbilical hernia simultaneously with laparoscopic cholecystectomy between 2014 and 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients' age, gender, BM...
patients were included in the study. Median values of the patients for age, BMI, hospitalization, and follow-up were 63 (28-94), 31 (20-51) kg/m...
In our study, the recurrence rate was found to be higher than the studies reported with the use of mesh, and most of the patients with recurrence are obese, although it is not statistically significan...
Littre's umbilical hernia (UH) is a rare disease, the third most common Littre hernia. Most case reports interest adult patients. We reported the case of a four-year-old girl with anemia and symptomat...
Littre's hernia (LH) is due to the presence of a Meckel's diverticulum (MD) in a hernial sac. It is an extremely rare condition in less than 1 % of all MD cases. It is often asymptomatic and is diagno...
We report a case of an 11-year-old boy presented to the emergency room with a diagnosis of acute obstructive syndrome. Radiological exams were inconclusive. Intra-operatively findings showed a strangu...
LH is an uncommon type of abdominal wall hernia. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult. Even abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) cannot reveal the right diagnosis and it is generally perfo...
