incisional hernia/fever

Medical records of 210 horses that survived ventral midline celiotomy for at least 4 months were examined and owners were queried to determine factors contributing to incisional hernia formation. The incidence rate of incisional hernias within 4 months was 16%. Factors significantly associated with

A 90-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department of our hospital with abdominal pain and a fever of up to 39°C. She had a history of hysterectomy about 30 years previously, and redness and swelling were seen at the abdominal median scar. Serum biochemistry showed minor elevation of

Incisional hernia often complicates kidney transplant. However, there are few reports showing pitfalls after the repair of incisional hernia following living-donor kidney transplant. A 55-year-old man underwent living-donor kidney transplant from his wife at the Department of Urology at the authors'

Caesarean operations accounted for most of the postoperative incisional hernias seen in our surgical clinic. In order to determine the incidence and aetiological factors of incisional hernia, all the women who had caesarean operations were reviewed retrospectively. There were 22 cases of incisional

Fifty six patients with typhoid enteric perforation who underwent operative treatment were randomly assigned to 2 groups. Twenty seven patients in group A underwent laparotomy via the Rutherford-Morrison incision while 29 patients in group B underwent the same procedure via a right paramedian

OBJECTIVE Despite advances in surgical technique in abdominal surgery, incisional complications are frequently reported following ventral midline laparotomy in horses. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of incisional complications at our clinic and to identify possible risk

As the challenge for finding the best abdominal incision closure technique continues, surgeons are aiming to minimize postoperative wound complications such as wound dehiscence and hernia as an acute or late manifestation. In order to achieve this goal, several abdominal opening and closure

Posterior vertical lumbar (PVL) incision does not involve any muscle or nerve section. It is minimally painful, does not give rise to incisional hernias and reduces the hospital stay. Pyeloplasty for cure of the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) is a good indication, as this incision provides access to

OBJECTIVE To report the occurrence of, and risk factors associated with, incisional complications of equine ventral median celiotomies closed with USP 7 polydioxanone (7PD). METHODS Retrospective case series. METHODS Horses (n = 73; 75 celiotomies). METHODS Medical records (2000-2010) were retrieved

BACKGROUND A personal technique for polypropilene mesh implantation in the treatment of massive, boundary and recurrent incisional hernias is described. METHODS. METHODS retrospective evaluation of cases observed over the last 3 years. METHODS division of General, Oncological and Thoracic Surgery,

BACKGROUND This study reviewed our experience with laparoscopic ventral postoperative (incisional) hernia repair. METHODS Clinical data from the first 100 cases were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Between 1997 and 2000, 64 women and 36 men (mean age, 58.4 +/- 13.6 years; range, 27-87 years)

BACKGROUND Typhoid intestinal perforation is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in many developing countries. The peculiar features in children <5 years old need to be recognised in order to improve outcome. OBJECTIVE To determine the characteristic pattern and outcome of typhoid

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the complications of retroperitoneal laparoscopy for upper urinary tract surgery. METHODS From 1994 to 2003, 500 retroperitoneal laparoscopy procedures were performed: 143 radical nephrectomies, 104 simple nephrectomies, 95 adrenalectomies, 47 ureteropelvic junction plasties,

OBJECTIVE The feasibility of laparoscopy in children and its impact on routine pediatric surgery are not well established. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of laparoscopy in a university department of pediatric surgery. METHODS All children undergoing laparoscopy during the period
