Umbilical and epigastric hernias are among the most common hernias of the abdominal wall; however, there is a lack of standardization for their treatment....
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...
Umbilical hernia repair (UHR) in cirrhotics with ascites is a challenging problem associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study examines the outcomes of UHR in veterans, comparing thos...
VASQIP was queried for all UHRs during the period 2008-2015. Data collection included demographics, operative details, Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, and postoperative outcomes. Univa...
A total of 383 patients were included in the analysis. Overall, mean age was 58.9, 99.0% were males, mean body mass index (BMI) was 26.7 kg/m...
UHR in cirrhotic veterans has worse outcomes when performed emergently. Diagnosis should be followed by medical optimization and elective repair, rather than waiting for an emergent indication in > 1/...
The American Academy of Pediatrics published consensus guidelines advising observation of asymptomatic umbilical hernias until age 4 or 5, given unnecessary risks of early intervention and substantial...
This retrospective study used data from children's hospitals participating in the Pediatric Health Information System database. Children aged 17 years and younger who underwent umbilical hernia repair...
16,544 children underwent repair, of which 3,115 (18.8%) were children <4 years old. After adjustment, guideline publication was associated with an immediate increase in guideline-adherent repairs (od...
Guideline publication was associated with greater odds of guideline-adherent repair, yet public insurance coverage and Midwest location remain significant predictors of early repair against recommenda...
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...
The aim of this study was to analyze umbilical hernia occurrences in patients who underwent laparoscopic or laparoendoscopic single-sight (LESS) cholecystectomy. Patients who underwent cholecystectomy...
The objective was to compare the outcomes of open mesh repair versus suture repair for small (≤1 cm in diameter) umbilical hernia. The primary endpoint was the 30-day outcomes including pain, and seco...
This propensity-matched, multicenter study was carried out on data collected prospectively in the Hernia-Club database between 2011 and 2021. A total of 590 mesh repairs and 590 suture repairs were pr...
Mesh insertion was intraperitoneal in 331 patients (56.1%), extraperitoneal in 249 (42.2%), and onlay in 10 (1.7%). The rate of 30-day complications and Numerical Rating Scale-11 pain scores on postop...
Both techniques are effective and safe. Mesh repair is likely to reduce the rate of recurrences. Concerns about postoperative pain and infection might not prevent the use of mesh in smallest umbilical...
To determine the prevalence of rectus diastasis (RD) in patients with inguinal hernia....
Multicenter, cross-sectional study. Patients with inguinal hernia were included in the study group (IH) and those with benign proctologic complaints created the control group (CG). Age, gender, BMI, f...
A total of 528 consecutive patients were included in the study (292 IH / 236 CG). Overall prevalence of RD was 35.6% and it was significantly higher in IH than in CG (46.9% vs 21.6%, p < 0.001). Also,...
The prevalence of RD seems to be higher in patients with inguinal hernia comparing to that in general population. Increased age, high BMI and DM were found to be independent risk factors for RD develo...
Uterine fibroids incarcerated in abdominal wall hernias during pregnancy are rare, with only six cases reported in umbilical hernias. This case report presents the first reported case of an incarcerat...
A 31-year-old primigravid Caucasian woman at 28 weeks gestational age presented with sudden onset abdominal pain and vomiting. Physical examination revealed an incarcerated epigastric hernia containin...
Uterine fibroids incarcerated in abdominal wall hernias during pregnancy are rare and affect mostly primigravid women in the third trimester. Abdominal ultrasound may facilitate the diagnosis, and ped...
Infantile umbilical hernia is common in children. It has a regressive course in most cases. Conservative management is the standard in most cases before the age of 3 years unless there are complicatio...
Our case was a full term 6-month-old male of normal birth weight with history of umbilical hernia but with no obvious risk factors to develop complications. The loops evisceration was spontaneous with...
Infantile umbilical hernia is considered one of the most encountered abnormalities of infancy. Most umbilical hernias are asymptomatic and discovered after birth. Complications of infantile umbilical ...
Although infantile umbilical hernia is clinically benign condition with a regressive course in majority of cases, the risk of rupture of an umbilical hernia is exceedingly rare in pediatric population...
The presence of a Meckel's diverticulum in the hernial sac is called a Littre's hernia. It is a rare complication of Meckel's diverticulum. We present a 56-year-old male patient who complained of swel...
