Abstract:
Since large-scale popularization of the surgical treatment of hernia in the 1990s, China has made great process in the field of hernia and abdominal wall surgery. In the treatment of incisional hernia of abdominal wall, a relatively complete system has been established in China, for instance, the formulation of guidelines, the purpose of incisional hernia treatment, the principle of surgical treatment, the choice of surgical methods, the improvement of material application, standardized treatment process, optimized management system. Common procedures of incisional hernia are open operations, including direct repair suture, bridging repair, and separation techniques of tissue construction. Meanwhile, the laparoscopic repair develops quickly in China as well. Compared with Western countries however, we still have a long way in overall level, for instance, treatment innovation, data integrity accumulation, quality control, technical innovation, new materials research, and monitoring of side-effects of implant materials. What we should consider and pay attention to is how to further develop hernia surgery and make it sustainable. Based on surgical experiences of incisional hernia in China, this paper intends to share the modern knowledge of incisional hernia and abdominal wall surgery.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
