Endometriosis is defined as an ectopic presence of endometrium-like tissue outside uterine cavity, which most commonly involves intraperitoneal organs. However, one of the less frequent forms of the disease is abdominal wall endometriosis usually developing in surgical scars following obstetric and gynaecological surgeries involving uterine cavity entering, that is, caesarean section, myomectomy or hysterectomy. In this case report we present a case of a patient with extensive caesarean scar endometriosis, who required complex surgical management. Successful surgical treatment involved not only radical tumour resection and application of mesh in postoperative hernia prevention but also adequate wound closure ensuring satisfactory cosmetic results, which was most challenging. The abdominal wall defect could not be sutured by traditional technique, thus polypropylene mesh was used and partial abdominoplasty was performed. The wound healed without complication and 24-month follow-up showed no evidence of local recurrence and satisfactory cosmetic result. In case of extensive endometrial abdominal wall tumours surgical treatment may involve application of advanced plastic surgery techniques, like abdominoplasty or skin/musculocutaneous flaps transposition.

Vanishing gastroschisis (VG) is a severe complication of gastroschisis with a high mortality rate. We report here a case of VG with a favorable outcome after a 3-year follow-up. A 26-year-old primigravida woman was referred to Strasbourg University Hospital because her fetus was diagnosed with an isolated gastroschisis at 13-week gestation. The ultrasound evolution was marked by a progressive closure of the abdominal wall defect from 19-week gestation and the appearance of dilated intra-abdominal loops. The child was born with a closed abdominal wall except a small remnant at the level of the former gastroschisis orifice. Explorative laparotomy revealed extensive midgut atresia with only 50 cm of remaining midgut. A jejunocolic anastomosis was performed. The child is now 3 years old and has a favorable outcome with only 2 nights a week of parenteral nutrition. A total of 39 cases of VG type D from Perrone et al. classification are described in the literature from 1991 to 2019, among which 19 (48.7%) are alive at the time of publication but only 4 cases are described with a long-term follow-up of 3 years or more. This is the fifth case described with a favorable evolution after 3-year follow-up.

Pentalogy of Cantrell with ectopia cordis is an extremely rare and lethal congenital anomaly included congenital hearth disease (CHD), midline supraumbilical abdominal wall defect, defect of lower sternum part, deficiency of the anterior diaphragm, a defect in the diaphragmatic pericardium. The complexity of this syndrome is usually incompatible with life. Depending on the location of the protruding heart and on the extent of the body wall defect, ectopia cordis may be grouped into cervical, thoracic, thoracoabdominal, or abdominal types. The heart mostly uncovered, covered with a serous membrane less often, and covered with skin rare. Depending on combination defects pentalogy of Cantrell classified for 3 different classes by Toyama (classified in 1972): 1 class – complete syndrome (all five defects), 2 class – probable syndrome (included intracardial defect and ventral abdominal wall defect) 3 class – incomplete syndrome (with various combinations of defects present, including a sternal abnormality). Presented clinical case newborn pentalogy of Cantrell first Toyama class. We used X-Ray for firstly diagnostic, for visualization CHD was performed CT. For postnatal diagnostic CHD are used Echo and CT. CT allows graphically to see the type of CHD and predict a surgical treatment. The strategy of surgical treatment and further prognose are depend on combination of anomalies within the framework of pentalogy of Cantrell. By CT we determined atresia of the pulmonary artery with major aorto-pulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCA), ventricular and atrial septal defects.

Eventration is a separation of the musculoaponeurotic layers of the abdominal wall resulting in protrusion of abdominal contents, and characterized by the absence of the hernial sac and intact skin. We describe a case of chronic left sided eventration associated with deformity of the right femoral fossa in a 30-year-old female Argentine land tortoise. The animal was referred for evaluation of a soft and non-painful deformity of the left lumbar fossa and third degree lameness of the left posterior limb. Eventration of one bladder lobe and oviduct loops was diagnosed by ultrasonography. We describe the anesthetic protocol and the surgical technique used in the treatment with approach to the coelomic cavity through the prefemoral fossa, as well as the resolution of the abdominal wall defect.

The author srepresent the original clinical data devoting to the further progress in reconstructive surgery. The methodology of the staged anterior abdominal wall defect reconstruction using the Keystone method was used firstly.The aim of the work is to demonstrate the peculiarity of preoperative preparation of patients with the anterior abdominal wall wounds complicated by small intestinal fistulas.The article uses the clinical materials of the concrete patient treatment in the Department of surgical infection of the South Region Military Medical Clinical Centre (Odessa, Ukraine) using the principle of the reconstructive-restorative surgery.The clinical case of the successful surgical treatment of anterior abdominal wall eventration, resulting from numerous laparotomies with pronounced lateralization of the wound, has shown that the solution to this problem should be based on the principles of reconstructive surgery.Preoperative modelling of full-layer flaps using a combined technique (infrared camera FLIR and portable Doppler SONO Trax) reduces the risk of necrosis of the movable flap and accelerates the process of closing of the defect of the anterior abdominal wall. Staged (“step-by-step”) surgical treatment of the postoperative wound of the anterior abdominal wall by reconstruction via to the Keystone method showed a positive and rapid result of solving such a difficult problem as eventration complicated by small intestinal fistula.Restoration of the integrity of the anterior abdominal wall should be considered from the standpoint of reconstructive-restorative features

Materials and methods. During the period from 2009 to 2020 in the clinic of the Department of Surgery and Proctology of the Shupyk National Healthcare University of Ukraine, the surgical treatment of 217 patients with IVH was analysed.The choice of laparoscopic hernioplasty or open allohernioplasty was made taking into account the size of the abdominal wall defect and the width of the rectus diastasis. By intraoperatively conducting a study during a surgery for IVH with an abdominal rectus diastasis involving approximation of the rectus muscles and measurement of IAP, it was found that with an abdominal rectus diastasis measuring up to 5 cm IAP increases to 5.6 ± 1.3 mm Hg and the abdominal wall defect is closed without an undue tension of the supporting tissues.Depending on the method of surgical treatment, patients were divided into 2 groups.In group I, 109 (21.5%) patients with small and medium-sized IVH with a diastasis of up to 5 cm underwent laparoscopic allohernioplasty, in particular, 63 patients underwent laparoscopic preperitoneal alloplasty and 46 underwent laparoscopic retromuscular alloplasty.Conclusions. For small and medium-sized IVH with an abdominal rectus diastasis of up to 5 cm, laparoscopic allohernioplasty with preperitoneal and retromuscular placement of the mesh implant and elimination of the diastasis is optimal. In comparison with open retromuscular allohernioplasty, it contributes to a significant reduction in the incidence of seroma (from 35.2% to 3.7%), postoperative wound suppuration (from 6.5% to 0%), inflammatory infiltrate (from 4.6% to 0%), chronic postoperative pain (from 6.4% to 2.6%), and recurrence of hernia (from 6.4% to 0%).
