Presentation
- We present a 30-year-old woman at 21 weeks of pregnancy presented with abdominal pain. She had a history of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass performed 3 years earlier. The clinical examination was remarkable for epigastric pain and tenderness.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The review will also look at the present evidence on the biomechanical characteristics of the most commonly used biomaterials and compares these materials to diaphragmatic tissue to offer more insight on the present practice of patch repairs in large[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Abstract We present a case of appendicitis within a De Garengeot hernia. The patient presented to the emergency department with 4 days of worsening abdominal pain.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
- In the literature different surgical techniques have been reported so far to achieve a successful treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- What Is the Medical Treatment for a Hernia? Surgical hernia repair is the ultimate treatment. The timing of treatment of a hernia and technique for treatment depends on whether it is reducible or irreducible and possibly strangulated.[emedicinehealth.com]

- DIAGNOSIS: A contrast computed tomography (CT) revealed a suspected closed loop obstruction of their bowels and immediate surgical treatments were required.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
- Vital prognosis can be engaged if port-site incisional hernia is incarcerated or strangulated then prevention is necessary. KEYWORDS: Port-site incisional hernia; incisional hernia; laparoscopy; pneumoperitoneum; port closure[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- What Is the Prognosis of a Hernia? Risk of strangulation : In considering when to have a reducible hernia surgically repaired, it is important for a patient to know the risk of strangulation.[emedicinehealth.com]
Etiology
- On physical examination, both children showed distension and tenderness of the abdomen and abdominal x-ray and ultrasound confirmed an occlusive picture without an apparent etiology.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
- Vital prognosis can be engaged if port-site incisional hernia is incarcerated or strangulated then prevention is necessary. KEYWORDS: Port-site incisional hernia; incisional hernia; laparoscopy; pneumoperitoneum; port closure[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- This squeezing action prevents entry of any organ into the internal ring and the cord, thereby preventing hernia formation.[doi.org]
- Prevention You can't prevent the congenital defect that makes you susceptible to an inguinal hernia. You can, however, reduce strain on your abdominal muscles and tissues. For example: Maintain a healthy weight.[mayoclinic.org]
