Management of Synthetic Mesh Infection With Open Resection and Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair Using Biosynthetic Prosthetic Material
Am Surg. 2022 Apr 18:31348221085683. doi: 10.1177/00031348221085683. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVentral hernia repair (VHR) is a common surgical operation with the prevailing complication of hernia recurrence. The development of diverse mesh materials has led to a lower hernia recurrence rate but poses concern for mesh infection. Featured is the case study of a patient who underwent laparoscopic recurrent VHR with utilization of biosynthetic mesh and removal of prior permanent synthetic mesh. During the post-operative course, the patient developed a seroma, cellulitis, and wound dehiscence. Despite these complications, ...

Idiopathic spontaneous pneumoperitoneum
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2021 Dec 28;35(2):224-226. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2021.2013148. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTSpontaneous pneumoperitoneum is the presence of free air in the peritoneum without evidence of any perforation of hollow viscera. The usual presentation includes acute abdominal pain with leukocytosis and elevated inflammatory markers. Here we present a case of spontaneous pneumoperitoneum occurring recurrently in a 58-year-old man with inclusion body myositis and hypertension who presented with cellulitis of both legs. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated retroperitoneal free air; however, colonoscopy, ...
