Urologic Involvement in the Management of Ureteral Hernias: A Case Series. [PDF]
In this case series, we describe our approach to the urologic management of ureteral hernias. This is a single‐institution, multi‐surgeon cohort of patients who presented with an abdominal hernia involving a ureter between 2018 and 2025. Among eight patients, seven male patients (87%) had an inguinal hernia involving the ureter.

Laparoscopic Management of Small Bowel Obstruction and Ischemia Caused by Spontaneous Transomental Hernia in a Virgin Abdomen: A Case Report. [PDF]
Transomental hernias (TOHs) are a rare form of internal hernia, accounting for ~1%–4% of all internal hernias and 0.5%–3% of bowel obstructions. Preoperatively diagnosing TOH is challenging owing to nonspecific obstructive symptoms and the absence of a hernia sac. This challenge can lead to delayed interventions and increased risk of bowel ischemia. In
