Lumbar hernia arises through posterolateral abdominal wall defects either through superior lumbar triangle [Grynfeltt-Lesshaft] or inferior lumbar triangle [Petit]. Most of the lumbar hernias are secondary to trauma or previous surgery. Few cases have been reported in literature. We report a case of post traumatic right Inferior triangle hernia of Petit in a 29-year-old healthy male. The hernial defect was closed with 2 layered procedure - sublay and onlay with polypropylene mesh, owing to a big defect and thin abdominal wall muscles. Patient recovered well. Our two layered open meshplasty have been effective, safe and presents with good post-operative recovery. The patient was followed up regularly and there was no recurrence even after 1 year.

Fetal gastroschisis and omphalocele are congenital defects of abdominal wall that are often diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound done for routine screening or for obstetric indications such as evaluating an elevated maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP).Regular antenatal checkup and Prenatal ultrasound could potentially identify the overwhelming majority of abdominal wall defects and accurately distinguish omphalocele from gastroschisis. But in a developing country like Bangladesh neglected patients fail to seek antenatal visit and prenatal diagnosis. Here we report a case of gastroschisis and omphalocele diagnosed incidentally during last trimester.TAJ 2015; 28(2): 64-65

Introduction.Incisional hernias are a common complication appearing after abdominal wall defects reconstruction, with omphalocele and gastroschisis being the most common etiologies in children. Abdominal closure of these defects represents a real challenge for pediatric surgeons with many surgical techniques and various prosthetic materials being used for this purpose.Case Report.We present a case of repair of a postoperative ventral hernia occurring after congenital omphalocele reconstruction in a three-and-a-half-year-old child using an acellular, sterile, porcine dermal mesh.Conclusion.Non-cross-linked acellular porcine dermal matrix is an appropriate mesh used for the reconstruction of abdominal wall defects and their postoperative complications like large ventral hernias with success and preventing their recurrence.

Gastroschisis most often occurs as an isolated anomaly and extragastrointestinal associations are rare. Most commonly, the anomalies associated with gastroschisis are cardiac and central nervous system abnormalities. Respiratory insufficiency has sometimes been reported in association with giant abdominal wall defects. Poor outcomes and prolonged ventilator support have been reported in giant gastroschisis and omphalocele, especially if associated with herniation of the majority of the liver. We report a case of a large gastroschisis that was associated with a kyphoscoliosis and pulmonary hypoplasia.

Fetal gastroschisis and omphalocele are congenital defects of abdominal wall that are often diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound done for routine screening or for obstetric indications such as evaluating an elevated maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP). Prenatal ultrasound could potentially identify the overwhelming majority of abdominal wall defects and accurately distinguish omphalocele from gastroschisis. Here we report two cases of gastroschisis and omphalocele diagnosed at routine prenatal ultrasound. NJR I VOL 2 I ISSUE 1 42-45 Jan-June, 2012 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njr.v2i1.6980
