Aim
To analyze the treatment and complications of gigant paraestomal eventration with a case report and literatura review
Material and Methods
a retrospective case report from our hospital and her evolution since her urology surgery in 2011
Results
Female of 59 years old, with personal antecedents of arterial hypertension, simple cistectomy and Bricker's urinary derivation (cutaneus ureteroileostomy) in 2011 due to intersticial cistitis, parastomal incisional hernia repair with intraperitoneal mesh in 2015. The patient was derivated from urology consult for a huge paraestomal incisional hernia and personal history of obstructive uropathy and several infections of urinary tract since 2022. No obstruction clinic was associated. Elective surgery was performed with an Trasversus Abdominis Release (TAR) and moving previous urostoma: hernial sac disection and previous mesh explant. Opening Rives, Retzius spaces and transversus fasciotomy was realized. Middle line was reforzed and hernial defect was closed. Polipopilene mesh was fixed at middle line and pubis with no reabsorbible suture and reforced with haemosthatic sealant. Anterior fascia was closed fixing at middle line. At the end a new urostoma was made in ryght hypocondrium. In postoperative period the patient developed light anaemia. Following months, the patient has not other complications due to incisional hernia repair.
Conclusions
Many factors can contibute to incisional hernia such as obesity, hypertension, number of surgerys, age, sex… TAR technique can be useful with complex eventration but we can not forget the commorbilities association to this surgery (anemia, pulmonar Tromboembolism…)
A case study describing an accident in Mexico caused by failure to de-energize an x-ray spectrometer prior to repair is presented. The evolution, medical management, and outcome of the radiation injury to the hand are briefly reviewed. A discussion follows, with radiation injury and thermal burns compared and contrasted. The anatomy and physiology of thick skin and the vascular system of the hand are reviewed so that the reader will have a better understanding of the role of vascular injury in the pathological process that leads to tissue atrophy and radiation necrosis. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, sympathectomy, and other techniques for improving circulation in involved areas are reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
