[De-epidermized free skin graft in the treatment of eventrations and hernias]. 1980

C Caloghera, and A Mihăilescu, and P Popovici, and F Lazăr, and A Tatiuc

The study investigated the efficiency of the non-epidermic free skin graft in the treatment of eventration and of hernia. It includes an experimental and a clinical stage. The experimental study investigated the biological integration of the autograft and of histological changes that take place. The authors attempted to determine the optimal site for the insertion of the graft between the parietal anatomic layers, as well as to evaluate their role as a prosthesis. The experiments demonstrated a perfect integration of the dermal auto-graft, as well as the new solidity that it will impart to the wall. The non-epidermic free skin graft was used over a period of 15 years (1964--1978) in a total of 134 patients. The use of the dermic graft is simple from the technical viewpoint, and the post-operative morbidity is not significant. A retrospective clinical study was carried out in 62 patients over a period of 1 to 12 years. Only two relapses were noted (3,2 percent of the total). In the remaining cases the abdominal wall was very solid and there was no sign of eventration.

D006550	Hernia, Femoral	A groin hernia occurring inferior to the inguinal ligament and medial to the FEMORAL VEIN and FEMORAL ARTERY. The femoral hernia sac has a small neck but may enlarge considerably when it enters the subcutaneous tissue of the thigh. It is caused by defects in the ABDOMINAL WALL.

D006552	Hernia, Inguinal	An abdominal hernia with an external bulge in the GROIN region. It can be classified by the location of herniation. Indirect inguinal hernias occur through the internal inguinal ring. Direct inguinal hernias occur through defects in the ABDOMINAL WALL (transversalis fascia) in Hesselbach's triangle. The former type is commonly seen in children and young adults; the latter in adults.

D006554	Hernia, Umbilical	A HERNIA due to an imperfect closure or weakness of the umbilical ring. It appears as a skin-covered protrusion at the UMBILICUS during crying, coughing, or straining. The hernia generally consists of OMENTUM or SMALL INTESTINE. The vast majority of umbilical hernias are congenital but can be acquired due to severe abdominal distention.

D006555	Hernia, Ventral	A hernia caused by weakness of the anterior ABDOMINAL WALL due to midline defects, previous incisions, or increased intra-abdominal pressure.
