Interparietal hernia

The retromuscular or sublay repair of ventral hernias, popularized by Rives and Stoppa, requires that a layer of tissue be reapproximated dorsal to the mesh to separate the bowel from the prosthetic. This is the first report of two patients who developed bowel obstruction resulting from interparietal incarceration between the posterior rectus sheath and the prosthetic graft through a defect in this dorsal layer. Both patients underwent open retromuscular hernia repair, one with lightweight polypropylene mesh, the other with human acellular dermal matrix...

Spigelian hernias are true interparietal hernias that are frequently not associated with a palpable mass and, as such, are not frequently diagnosed before surgery. Reported herein, is the serendipitous discovery of an incarcerated Spigelian hernia that was discovered on a CT scan being performed for presumed diverticulitis.

The clinical diagnosis of anterior abdominal wall hernia is difficult in patients with a negative or inconclusive physical examination. These hernias are often of an interparietal type which hampers their detection. Herniography may contribute to the clinical workup in patients with Spigelian, incisional, and umbilical hernias. As the clinical presentation may be spurious, herniography should be used on wide indications. The herniographic appearance and differential diagnosis of these hernias are reported. The additional use of ultrasonography in this setting is illustrated and discussed...

A series of 93 patients operated on for groin hernias by applying the preperitoneal approach is reported (89 bilateral and four unilateral). The patients were divided into two groups. Group one included 24 patients without prosthetic repair. Group two included 65 patients who had undergone repair with Ampoxen mesh. Some untraditional methods are reported, such as interparietal repair, rotative transposition of external oblique muscle aponeurosis, etc. As far recurrences are concerned, no differences were recorded between the two groups (Pt greater than 0...
