Lumbar hernias are uncommon and about 300 cases have been reported till date. They commonly occur due to trauma, surgery and infection. They are increasingly being reported after motor vehicle collision injuries. However, spontaneous lumbar hernias are rare and are reported infrequently. It is treated with different surgical approaches and methods. We report a case of primary spontaneous lumbar hernia which was repaired by transperitonial laparoscopic approach using Vypro (polypropylene/polyglactin) mesh and covered with a peritoneal flap.
Single port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS), also called SILS is the natural extension of multi-incisional laparoscopic surgery, in the quest for reduction of traumatic insult and residual scarring to the patient. Today with the evolution of newer instruments, bidirectional self-retaining sutures, and surgical experience we are able to perform many surgeries in gynecology.
Laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage (LTAC) is a well documented procedure for cervical incompetence. In this article we have done a detailed stepwise description of LTAC by broadligament window technique. This technique makes the procedure simpler, safer and easy to reproduce.
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.
