Computed Tomographic

A 68-year-old obese man underwent computed tomographic colonography (CTC) scanning to investigate worsening constipation and lower abdominal discomfort on his left side.Optical colonoscopy was contraindicated because of his comorbidities. A preliminary CTC diagnosis of incarcerated Spigelian hernia was made, based on lateral deviation of thesigmoid colon to the left as well as extrinsic impressions on it, and the central location of the small bowel. Spigelian hernia is a rare form of anterior abdominal wall hernia. CTC can play a role in its diagnosis.

Risks Assessment

Hernia can be defined as an organ disorder which protrudes the wall that contains it. Synthetic material for the repair of the abdominal wall are used frequently with good results and less complications. Our research included a number of 135 patients diagnosed with inguinal hernia hospitalized and operated in Clinical County Hospital of Craiova, between 1st January 2017-31 October 2017. The purpose of our work was to identify and analyze comorbidities and complications for inguinal hernia repaired with synthetic prosthetic material. hernia repair was performed in 135 patients, 16 were women and 119 were men. Tension free meshplasty was accomplished in 131 patients with uncomplicated inguinal hernia and herniorrhaphy was successfully performed at 4 patients with complicated inguinal hernia. From our study 107 patients had a remarkable recovery without any complication. Patients who underwent tension-free hernia surgery using prosthetic mesh,short-term complications were represented by 19 patients with urinary retention, 6 surgical local infection (superficial infections) and 2 scrotal edema. Nowadays surgeons try to find the best elective repair of inguinal hernia,to be safety for the patients despite of their age and with few complications and low mortality rate. Risks assessment include general conditions and associated comorbidities of the patients. In our study we reveal the type of comorbidities which we meet. We considered that it is significant to optimize cardiopulmonary status and the other comorbidities of the patient before to repair abdominal wall hernia in order to avoid both short and long term complication.

Benign Condition

Hernia is defined as an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through a pathologic defect in its surrounding wall. Overall, hernia is common and is generally believed to be a benign condition associated with some morbidity, although it is not thought to be associated with significant mortality. Between 2001 and 2010, 2.3 million inpatient abdominal hernia repairs were performed in the United States, of which 567,000 were performed emergently. In some cases, a hernia can be a deadly condition. In 2002, hernia was listed as the cause of death for 1,595 US citizens. This review covers the pathophysiology, stabilization and assessment, diagnosis and treatment, and disposition and outcomes of hernia. Figures show anatomic locations of the various abdominal wall, groin, lumbar, and pelvic floor hernias; a direct inguinal hernia; an indirect inguinal hernia; point-of-care sonograms showing a ventral wall hernia and an abdominal wall hernia; and the differential diagnosis of an abdominal mass based on anatomic location. Tables list risk factors for the development of inguinal hernia, sex-based differences in inguinal hernia development, risk factors for the development of incisional hernia, factors to consider when assessing the patient for a hernia, and factors associated with the highest rates of incarceration in patients with groin hernia. Key words: emergent hernia, hernia incarceration, incisional hernia, inguinal hernia, strangulated hernia This review contains 6 highly rendered figures, 5 tables, and 66 references.
