Hernia is the protrusion of an organ or part of an organ or other structure through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. Hernias are qualified by the name of the part that protrudes or the area through which protrusion occurs. The most common types of hernias are inguinal, incisional,femoral, umbilical and hiatal. An inguinal hernia, the most common form, is one that passes through the abdominal wall in the groin area. A hiatal hernia is one in which part of the stomach or a loop of the intestine herniates upward through an opening in the diaphragm into the chest cavity. An umbilical hernia is one in which the bowel or the membranous apron overlying it, known as the omentum, protrudes through the abdominal wall under the skin
at the navel. Hernias often develop in an area of weakness following unusual stress or strain. An inguinal hernia, for example, may follow the unexpected lifting of a heavy object. Inguinal hernias are more likely to occur in men than in women because the spermatic cord passes through the abdominal wall in the inguinal region, leaving a site of natural weakness likely to hernia formation. Whether or not you need treatment depends on the size of your hernia and the severity of your symptoms. Your doctor may simply monitor your hernia for possible complications. Treatment options for a hernia include, lifestyle changes, medications, and surgery. Dietary changes can often treat the symptoms of a hiatal hernia. Avoiding large or heavy meals, not laying down or bending over after a meal, and keep your body weight in a healthy range. If these changes in diet don’t eliminate your discomfort, you may need surgery to correct the hernia. f you have a hiatal hernia, over-the-counter and prescription medications that reduce stomach acid can relieve your discomfort and improve symptoms. These include antacids, H-2 receptor blockers, and proton pump inhibitors
Dr. Nolen's purpose for writing "The First Appendectomy," which speaks about his first execution of an appendectomy, was to inform. Dr. Nolen writes explains the procedures in performing an appendectomy and the possible complications that can and did occur during his first operation. Dr. Nolen informs readers that, “There are five layers of tissue the abdominal wall: skin, fat, fascia (a tough membranous tissue), muscle
located between the stomach and the intestine aids the pushing and stopping of food transmission and a duct
DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: The patient was taken to the operating room and after induction a general endotracheal anesthetic, the abdomen was prepped and draped in a sterile manner. Then, 0.5% Marcaine was injected superior to the umbilicus and a longitudinal skin incision was made and carried down to the anterior abdominal wall fascia which was incised in the midline. Two stay sutures of 0 Vicryl placed on either side of the fascial incision. The peritoneum was entered under direct vision with Mayo scissors. A Hassan trocar is inserted into the peritoneal cavity and secured to the

The fistula connects the ventral wall of the terminal rectum with the dorsal wall of vagina which allows feces to be voided through the vaginal opening (Suess., 1982). Atresia ani can be classified into four different classes, which include congenital stenosis (Type I), imperforate anus alone (Type II), or combined with more cranial termination of the rectum as a blind pouch (Type III), and discontinuity of the proximal rectum with normal anal and terminal rectal development (Type IV), (Vianna and Tobias, 2005). The reported case in my report was a type II atresia and kitten with presence of rectovaginal fistula. 2. What is the difference between Case report Three months old, 0.6 kg female domestic short haired kitten was presented to University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University Putra Malaysia, with a single perineum opening.
The colon has four sections. The first section is called the ascending colon. It extends upward on the right side of the abdomen. The second section is called the transverse colon since it goes across the body to the left side. There it joins the third section, the descending colon, which continues downward on the left side. The fourth section is known as the sigmoid colon because of its S-shape. The sigmoid colon joins the rectum, which in turn joins the anus, or the opening where waste matter passes o...
Shouldice Hospital focus on hernia repair surgery which is mostly performed on males. Shouldice operation strategy involves early ambulation following hernia repair surgery that was superior to others. Only external kind of abdominal hernias were repaired at Shouldice Hospital. Internal types, such as hiatus (or diaphragmatic) hernias were not treated. First time repairs (primaries) of hernias involved straightforward operating procedures that required about 45 minutes. Such cases represent 82% of all operations and remaining were patients suffering recurrences of hernias previously repaired elsewhere. The market was targeted by providing following services
The pancreas can be seen under the stomach and it has a yellow color, much like the color of fat, and it’s about the size and shape of the stomach, although most of it is seen behind it.The spleen, located on the left side of an organism, like the mink or human, is next to the pancreas and it looks like the same dark color more or less of the liver. It is shaped like a circle and is smaller than the stomach. The rectum looks like a long skinny noodle and it is a very light peach color. In length it is larger than some other organs. The small intestine looks like a really long noodle and it is mostly pink while being the largest in length of all the organs in the digestive system. The ...
Herniate discs are very common and become more common with age. However, not all herniated discs will cause symptoms. Research shows that 30% of 20-year-old’s have disc herniation with no back pain as well as 84% of 80-year
About 82% of all surgeries at the Hospital are primaries. The remaining 18% involve recurrence of hernias repaired elsewhere. These are more complex,
Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a sustained intra-abdominal pressure greater than 20 mm Hg. This syndrome is associated with organ failure or dysfunction. If ACS is not recognized and treated promptly it can result in mortality. Cases that are not recognized and treated promptly have a 90% to 100% mortality rate. 46.8% pediatric doctors can recognized ACS, this is not near the percentage that it needs to be. Only 51% of pediatric doctors have had to treat a child with ACS so it is not an extremely common disease. ACS can be diagnosed bedside by measuring the IAP of the patient. In a case study concerning a 13 year old boy, he was brought to the emergency room after being kicked by a horse. The patient was taken into surgery for an exploratory
There is no specific time that hemangioma birthmarks were discovered due to the fact that the term was used to describe all tumor like structures. Hemangioma is caused by an abnormally dense grouping of blood vessels on the skin. These benign masses can also develop on the surfaces of internal organs. Some symptoms include bruises, patches of white color, or a simple scratch. These marks eventually raise out from the skin and become a red, strawberry-like mass. Doctors can diagnose external hemangioma by visually examining them with the naked eye, but medical scans can be necessary to find internal cases. Most patients choose to let the mark fade away over time, but some decide to inject beta blockers and apply ointment to avoid a cosmetic

This article is about evaluation and management of sports hernia and how it is starting to get increasing attention as a source of disability and time lost from athletics. This article also talks about how there is increasing evidence. That there is an association between range of motion-limiting hip disorders and sports hernia in a number of athletes This has added a new complexity to the pathology and decision making on how treatment should be handled by the physician. Ever since its introduction in 1980 as “Gilmore groin” it has come to be known for many other names including sports hernia, Gilmore’s groin, osteitis pubis, slap shot gut, sportsman’s hernia, hockey groin syndrome, athletic pubalgia, and core muscle injury. The nonsurgical treatments for this condition have not been well documented in the literature according to this article. However the lack of nonsurgical data makes it difficult to determine if surgical repair is clearly superior. Sports hernia is activity-related lower abdominal and adductor related pain seen in athletes, mostly during high speed cutting and acceleration and sudden
