Abstract
In humans, the incidence of congenital defects of the intraembryonic celom and its associated structures has increased over recent decades. Surgical treatment of abdominal and diaphragmatic malformations resulting in congenital hernia requires deep knowledge of ventral body closure and the separation of the primary body cavities during embryogenesis. The correct development of both structures requires the coordinated and fine-tuned synergy of different anlagen, including a set of molecules governing those processes. They have mainly been investigated in a range of vertebrate species (e.g., mouse, birds, and fish), but studies of embryogenesis in humans are rather rare because samples are seldom available. Therefore, we have to deal with a large body of conflicting data concerning the formation of the abdominal wall and the etiology of diaphragmatic defects. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge and focuses on the histological and molecular events leading to the establishment of the abdominal and thoracic cavities in several vertebrate species. In chronological order, we start with the onset of gastrulation, continue with the establishment of the three-dimensional body shape, and end with the partition of body cavities. We also discuss well-known human etiologies.

Zhang Z, Li L, Liu B, Wang F, Wang W, Liu X, Ju Y. Effect of Laparoscopic Total Extraperitoneal Umbilical Hernia Repair on Incision Infection, Complication Rate, and Recurrence Rate in Patients with Umbilical Hernia. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:7055045. [PMID: 35070242 PMCID: PMC8767355 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7055045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2021] [Revised: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study is to clarify the influence of laparoscopic total extraperitoneal umbilical hernia repair on incision infection, complication rate, and recurrence rate in patients with an umbilical hernia (UH). Sixty-seven UH patients referred to our hospital from June 2017 to June 2019 were selected as the research participants. Thirty-six patients in the research group (RG) were treated with laparoscopic total extraperitoneal umbilical hernia repair, and the other 31 cases in the control group (CG) were treated with traditional umbilical hernia repair. The two cohorts of patients were compared with respect to the curative effect after treatment; intraoperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative pain time, ambulation time, and hospital stay; incidence of complications; pain severity (VAS) before and after operation; sleep quality (PSQI) before and after operation; patient satisfaction after treatment; and recurrence half a year after discharge. The RG presented a higher effective treatment rate (P < 0.05), less intraoperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative pain time, ambulation time, and hospital stay, as well as lower incidence of complications than the CG (P < 0.05). VAS and PSQI scores differed insignificantly between the two cohorts of patients before treatment (P > 0.05) but reduced after treatment, with lower VAS and PSQI scores in the RG than in the CG (P < 0.05). The number of people who were highly satisfied, as investigated by the satisfaction survey, was higher in the RG than in the CG, while the recurrence rate of prognosis was lower than that in the CG (P < 0.05). Laparoscopic total extraperitoneal umbilical hernia repair is effective for UH patients and can validly reduce the incidence of complications and recurrence rate, which has huge clinical application value.

Zhang K, Qin M, Ding G. Case Report: 21 Cases of Umbilical Hernia Repair Using a Laparoscopic Cephalic Approach Plus a Posterior Sheath and Extraperitoneal Approach. Front Surg 2021; 8:705469. [PMID: 34568414 PMCID: PMC8458872 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2021.705469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: In this study, a novel surgical technique was developed for umbilical hernias, in which a laparoscopic cephalic approach plus a posterior sheath and an extraperitoneal approach was employed. The aim of this study was to determine the results of this new technique. Methods: From 2019 to 2020, 21 patients (81.8% men) with an umbilical hernia underwent a laparoscopic cephalic approach plus a posterior sheath and extraperitoneal approach, performed by two surgeons specializing in abdominal wall surgery, in two academic hospitals. Intraoperative and postoperative complications, operation time, blood loss, and hernia recurrence were assessed. Results: Twenty-one cases of umbilical hernia were successfully completed. The size of the hernia ring was 1.5-3 cm2, with an average of 2.39 ± 0.47 cm2. The operation time was 120-240 min (average, 177.3 ± 42.15 min), and the blood loss volume was 30-40 ml (average, 33.73 ± 3.55 ml). The mean follow-up period was 6 months, and there were no short-term complications and no cases of recurrence. Conclusion: A laparoscopic cephalic approach plus a posterior sheath and extraperitoneal approach is a safe alternative for the repair of an umbilical hernia. The intraoperative complication rate was low.
