Abstract:
Intercostal incisional hernias are rarely encountered post-operative complications. Bone sequestra of the ribs are similarly rare. We report a very rare case of a left sided rib bone sequestrum mimicking an incisional hernia after a nephrectomy, splenectomy, and distal pancreatectomy.

01:25Hiatal Hernia
69
A hiatal hernia is the abnormal protrusion of the stomach or other abdominal organs through the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm into the thoracic cavity.Normally, the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) lies below the diaphragm and is supported by the phrenoesophageal membrane, the diaphragmatic crura, and connective tissues. Weakening of these structures—due to aging, congenital defects like a short esophagus, or increased intra-abdominal pressure from coughing, obesity, pregnancy, or...

01:28Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
1.1K
Esophageal perforations manifest in various clinical forms, influenced by factors such as the perforation's cause and location (cervical, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal), the extent of contamination, and potential injury to adjacent mediastinal structures. The timing between the perforation occurrence and treatment initiation also affects the clinical presentation.
