Today, liver transplantation is the gold standard for the treatment of acute liver failure and end-stage chronic liver disease in children.With the advances in surgical techniques, post-operative care, and immunosuppressive therapy, very good outcomes are obtained (as 1-year survival > 90%). However; morbidity and mortality rates are increased in cases who develop biliary-vascular complications and especially GIP, which is sometimes very difficult to diagnose. 1,2 GIP can occur after any type of organ transplantation. [3][4][5] After liver transplantation, it can be observed in all age groups, being more frequent in childhood. The exact cause of high rates of GIP

“…Among these complications, seroma development and wound infection were the most frequently reported types. The results presented in this study align with prior research that has identified seroma development and wound infection as the most prevalent problems observed in hernia repair procedures [ 26 - 27 ]. The study findings suggest that the relatively low occurrence of problems can be related to several factors, such as the high level of proficiency exhibited by the surgical team, the utilization of acceptable surgical procedures, and the adherence to perioperative care standards.…”

Background and objective Hernias of the abdominal wall were prevalent in people of all ages worldwide, with an overall prevalence of 1.7 percent. Recently, laparoscopic and Lichtenstein mesh repairs have become popular as they provide a rapid return to normal activities with low recurrence rates. There is a relatively high risk of complications following hernia repair, such as wound seroma/hematoma, urinary retention, and superficial incisional infection. As for complications that may develop after hernia repair, we discussed risk factors contributing to postoperative complications after hernia repair in this study. Methods This study was a retrospective descriptive study of all patients who underwent hernia repair. The cohort of patients data would be collected from patients using an interview-based questionnaire. The data obtained will be entered into a spreadsheet and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 23.0 package (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results In the current study, we collected data from 274 patients with hernia. The majority of participants were male (79.9%, n = 219), while (37.7%, n = 100) overweight, and (29.8%, n = 79) obese. Among the participants, (82.8%, n = 227) did not experience any complications, while (17.2%, n = 47) reported complications. The types of complications observed were as follows: seroma formation (2.9%, n = 8), wound infection (5.8%, n = 16), and mesh infection (1.8 %, n = 5). There were no significant associations between gender and the presence of complications. However, a significant association was found between BMI and complications (p < 0.001). Diabetes mellitus also showed a significant association with complications (p = 0.005), with a higher proportion of complications among participants with diabetes. Conclusion In the current study, we found a significant prevalence of postoperative complications with significant risk factors such as obesity and diabetic mellitus. Additional investigation is warranted to validate these correlations and investigate supplementary variables that could potentially contribute to postoperative problems in hernia surgery.

“…While mesh repair is recommended regardless of open or laparoscopic technique, the large abdominal disruption in our patient warranted combination of biological and synthetic mesh [ 8 ]. Biological meshes provide the benefit of bridging abdominal wall defects and are less prone to infection, enterocutaneous fistula formation, and adhesion formation; however, they confer less mechanical support than synthetic counterparts [ 9 , 10 ]. In this case, we used a combination of both biological mesh and synthetic Ventralight ST mesh.…”

The Management of Traumatic Abdominal Wall Flank Hernia Along the Spigelian Aponeurosis Using Component Separation, Synthetic, and Biological Mesh

et al. 2022

Blunt abdominal trauma is associated with a variety of medical complications. Traumatic abdominal wall hernias (TAWHs) are a rare sequela of blunt trauma. Of the various forms of TAWH, a rare subtype described as a "spontaneous lateral ventral hernia" or flank hernia occurs in less than 1% of all blunt abdominal traumas. We present a case of a 39-year-old male with a past medical history of epilepsy who was involved in a rollover motor vehicle collision. It was reported that the patient had a seizure while driving. On physical exam, the patient had a large left lower flank contusion. Computed tomography revealed a complex TAWH with complete avulsion of the abdominal wall musculature from the iliac crest and near to total disruption of the internal oblique. To address this, we used a biological mesh inlay, reinforced with a synthetic Ventralight™ mesh secured to the iliac crest. In this article, we describe the patient's experience and management of a complex TAWH.
