The Management of Incisional Hernia [PDF]
The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2006 Many thousand laparotomy incisions are created each year and the failure rate for closure of these abdominal wounds is between 10–15%, creating a large problem of incisional hernia. In the past many of these hernias have been neglected and treated with abdominal trusses or inadequately managed with high failure rates.

Appendicitis found in an incisional hernia [PDF]
Journal of Surgical Case Reports, 2012 Hernia appendicitis is a rare occurrence often described in association with groin hernias. We present a rare case of hernia appendicitis through a Pfannenstiel incision. Laparoscopy was performed with the intention to perform an appendectomy. An acutely inflamed appendix was visualized with the tip incarcerated into a 2 cm segment of the right most ...

A double blind randomized controlled trial comparing primary suture closure with mesh augmented closure to reduce incisional hernia incidence [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Incisional hernia is the most frequently seen long term complication after laparotomy causing much morbidity and even mortality. The overall incidence remains 11-20%, despite studies attempting to optimize closing techniques.

A molecular perspective of obesity-mediated incisional hernia
Health Sciences Review, 2023 Background: Incisional hernia is a common complication following laparotomy. Obesity increases the incidence of incisional hernia by about three-fold. However, the pathophysiology behind the formation of incisional hernia is not well described.

INCISIONAL HERNIA AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY: ONLY THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION IS ENOUGH?
ABCD: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cirurgia Digestiva, 2022 BACKGROUND: Incisional hernia is characterized by a bulging of the abdominal wall caused by the prolapse of intracavitary structures, such as a segment of the small intestine, through the trocar orifice.

HEDI: First-Time Clinical Application and Results of a Biomechanical Evaluation and Visualisation Tool for Incisional Hernia Repair [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Abdominal wall defects often lead to pain, discomfort, and recurrence of incisional hernias, resulting in significant morbidity and repeated surgical repairs worldwide. Mesh repair for large hernias is usually based on the defect area with a fixed overlap, neglecting biomechanical factors such as muscle activation, intra-abdominal pressure, tissue ...

Automated Identification of Thoracic Pathology from Chest Radiographs with Enhanced Training Pipeline [PDF]
Proc. SPIE 10950, Medical Imaging 2019: Computer-Aided Diagnosis,
vol. 10950, p. 109503F, (2019), 2020 Chest x-rays are the most common radiology studies for diagnosing lung and heart disease. Hence, a system for automated pre-reporting of pathologic findings on chest x-rays would greatly enhance radiologists' productivity. To this end, we investigate a deep-learning framework with novel training schemes for classification of different thoracic ...

Tethered capsule en face optical coherence tomography for imaging Barrett's esophagus in unsedated patients [PDF]
BMJ Open Gastroenterology (2020), 2020 Detection of Barrett's esophagus (BE) at points of care outside the endoscopy suite may improve screening access and reduce esophageal adenocarcinoma mortality. Tethered capsule optical coherence tomography (OCT) can volumetrically image esophageal mucosa and detect BE in unsedated patients.
