Introduction: Pulmonary hernias are rare conditions, most are the results of an injury or previous thoracic surgery. Case report: We present a case of a 48-year-old woman injured in a car accident. The examination in the trauma centre revealed a chest injury with herniation of the lung parenchyma into the chest wall and fractures of long bones of lower limbs. Initially, an osteosynthesis of the left femur and the right tibia fracture were performed. The patient underwent a subsequent surgery to repair the pulmonary hernia. Conclusion: A pulmonary hernia is diagnosed either directly during a clinical examination or by imaging. A sovereign diagnostic method is a computed tomography. The method of treatment is a surgical repair with primary suture of the chest wall defect or implantation of a mesh to repair the pulmonary hernia.

Introduction: Evisceration of the lung is a rare consequence of open chest trauma that can be fatal. Evisceration of the lung refers to the protrusion of lung parenchyma through a defect of the thoracic wall, without parietal pleural or skin coverage. Case report: A 20-year-old man was brought to the emergency department (ED) with left lung evisceration from stab wounds. The eviscerated lung was left in place, and the patient was not intubated in the ED. He was immediately taken to the operating room (OR) for intubation and surgical repair. Other significant injuries were ruled out, the eviscerated lung was retrieved, the chest wall defect was closed, and the patient recovered well. He was discharged after seven days in good condition. Conclusion: The initial management of patients with lung evisceration is critical to prevent rapid decompensation and death. Appropriate ED airway management, lung retrieval in the OR, and thoracic wall repair is recommended for patients with lung evisceration.

Lumbar hernias, which are rare hernias of the posterolateral abdominal wall, can be divided into two groups: primary lumbar hernias, often the expression of a congenital defect, which typically arise in two areas of weakness, the superior triangle and inferior triangle and acquired (or diffuse) lumbar hernias which are usually due to previous lumbar trauma or surgery. Clinical examination may be adjuvated by ultrasound or CT scan, which can reveal the abdominal wall defect with the hernia content (viscera or extraperitoneal tissue). Surgical repair of lumbar hernias, both primary and acquired, has rapidly developed through recent years, similarly to the treatment of more frequent kinds of hernia (groin, epigastric), evolving from direct repair to mini-invasive techniques, even if, since the rarity of these hernias, precise knowledge of this complex anatomic region is required. Nowadays there are two valid alternatives: open tension-free repair (with use of mesh), and mini-invasive repair. Both are safe and effective, even if smaller hernias can be treated by open approach, with loco-regional anesthesia and good cosmetic effect. Larger hernias, or hernias with suspected viscera involvement, should require larger incisions and viscera exploration. For this reason laparoscopic access would be preferable.

Gastroschisis is a complex anterior abdominal wall defect requiring urgent surgical repair. Oneor two-stage surgery to return the intestines to the abdominal cavity may result in developing acute renal failure. Preservation of the Arantsiev duct lumen provokes serious changes in the portal vein system. The state of the microcirculatory bloodstream in the intestinal wall clearly correlates with the clinical data indicating the restoration of the passage through the gastrointestinal tract.

Simultaneous occurrence of pneumoperitoneum, pneumoretroperitoneum, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema is rare. The most reported mechanisms are barotrauma, thermal injury and instrument puncture caused by colonoscopy. Ectopic air may travel into different body compartments through distinct anatomical fascial planes. Definite curative treatment involves surgical repair of the bowel wall defect. Conservative treatment is available in selected patients. Here, we present a case of traumatic penetrating rectal injury leading to developing air in the peritoneum, retroperitoneum, mediastinum, and subcutaneous space with good recovery under conservative treatment.
