Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Colds, aches, pains, and other ailments Hiatal hernia Originally Published: January 21, 2005 DEAR ALICE, WHAT IS A HIATAL HERNIA AND ITS SYMPTOMS? CAN IT CAUSE SHORTNESS OF BREATH Dear Reader, sliding hernia is when the stomach slides up into the chest and back down; a fixed hernia is when the stomach slides up into the chest and stays there. Both can be quite painful conditions, although some minor hiatal hernias can cause mild to no pain. Because the stomach assumes space in the chest, leaving less room for the lungs to function at capacity, yes, hiatal hernias can cause shortness of breath. Hiatal hernias can also cause: chest pain heartburn belching difficulty swallowing Shortness of breath and pain around the breastbone area also can be caused by a hiatal hernia, but can stem from heart problems, as well. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's a good idea to check in with a health care provider to make sure a more severe underlying condition isn't at work. Other warning signs that require medical evaluation include dizziness, irregular heartbeat, and nausea or vomiting. In order to diagnose a hiatal hernia, a health care provider may perform a simple chest X-ray, possibly with a

The Spectrum of Diaphragmatic Hernia RAVINDER K. MITTAL University of California, San Diego Diaphragmatic hernias are among the most common abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract. Those with significant paraesophageal features may require surgical intervention to prevent potentially lethal complications. By contrast, 90% of patients with sliding hiatal hernias respond favorably to behavior modification and antisecretory drug therapy. Dr. Mittal is Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine; Director, Gastrointestinal Motility Laboratory; and Chief of Gastroenterology, Veterans Administration Medical Center, San Diego. The diaphragm, which separates the abdominal contents from the thorax, is composed of two distinct sections: the costal portion, which originates in the pleuroperitoneal membrane, and the crural portion, which arises from the esophageal mesentery and forms the diaphragmatic canal or hiatus. The esophagus passes through this canalapproximately 2 cm in lengthon its way to the stomach. Other components of this region (generally referred to as the esophagogastric junction) include the lower esophageal sphincter, an area of thickened smooth muscle approximately 2.5 to 4.5 cm in length, the phrenoesophageal ligament, which anchors the esophagus to the undersurface of the diaphragm, and the sling fibers of the proximal stomach. These supporting structures collectively maintain a zone of high pressure that prevents reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus.

University of California, San Francisco About UCSF Search Welcome Hospitals and Clinics Appointments Billing ... Events and Classes Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Print Format Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) develops before birth when your baby has a hole in their diaphragm the flat muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen. Early in pregnancy, before the baby's diaphragm is completely developed, a hole does exist in the diaphragm, but this normally closes by the end of the third month of pregnancy. CDH occurs in about one in every 2,500 births. When a baby has a hole in their diaphragm that does not close properly, some of the organs in the abdomen, including the stomach, intestine, liver, spleen and kidneys, may move into the chest. As a result, the lungs cannot grow to normal size, causing a condition called pulmonary hypoplasia. The majority of these defects occur on the left side. While in the uterus, a fetus does not need its lungs to breathe because oxygen is delivered to the fetus through the mother's placenta. However, when the baby is born, healthy lungs are necessary. If the lungs have not developed normally and are too small, the baby will not get enough oxygen to survive. Most babies with CDH can be treated successfully after birth, although a few with the most severe form of this condition may be treated while in the womb. The

Iliac crest is the common donor site for obtaining these autogen bone grafts. An incisional hernia occured as late complication in a 71-year old woman patient. She underwent an operation of gross total tumor excision, C3 and C4 corpectomy, stabilization with autogen tri-cortical iliac crest graft and plate-screw system using an anterior approach. The hernia was repaired with prolen mesh and resulted in an excellent postoperative recovery. Key-words: autogen, bone graft, complication, iliac crest, incisional hernia

Epigastric Hernia What is an epigastric hernia? An epigastric hernia is an opening or weakness in the fibrous tissue of the abdomen between the breast bone and the belly button. It is caused by incomplete closure of the fibrous tissue of the abdomen during development. What does an epigastric hernia look like? When your child cries, stools, or bears down a small bump will push out somewhere along the center of the abdomen. Usually the bump is filled with fluid or fat. As soon as the child relaxes, the bump will sink back into the abdomen. Does my baby need surgery for this type of hernia? This type of hernia will not close on its own and must be surgically repaired. Repair is elective and is usually recommended within a few months of discovery. Repair may be recommended sooner if the child is experiencing pain. If not repaired the hernia may enlarge or become painful. How is the hernia repaired? A general anesthetic is used. It is very important for you and the surgery nurse to mark the exact site of the bump with a special marker before your child goes to sleep the day of surgery. A small incision is made in the abdomen just over the hernia. The hernia sac and fiber tissue layers are sutured closed with dissolvable suture. The outer skin is then closed with skin glue and/or special tapes. How do we care for the incision?

uhrad.com - Pediatric Imaging Teaching Files Case Fourteen - Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Click on Images for Enlarged View Clinical History: Full-term female infant. Findings: There is a left-sided diaphragmatic hernia with an intrathoracic stomach and multiple air-filled bowel loops in the left hemi-thorax. Mass effect with mediastinal shift from left to right is present. There is minimal aerated right lung, and no aerated left lung. Additionally, an ET tube is identified with tip at the Caring tip of feeding tube projecting over the stomach, and an umbilical venous catheter overlying the T- 12 vertebral body. Diagnosis: Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: Bochdalek Hernia Discussion: A congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a displacement of abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity through a defect in the diaphragm. The most common type of CDH is the posterolateral or Bochdalek hernia which occurs in approximately 1 per 3000 live births (M:F=2:1). Hernias through the foramen of Morgagni are rare and represent 2 to 4% of all CDH. The Bochdalek hernia results from failure of the pleuroperitoneal space to close prior to the return of the bowel to the abdominal cavity during week 8 to 10 of early fetal life. The pleuroperitoneal space is closed by the development of the diaphragm. If the bowel returns to the abdomen prematurely or if there is delayed or incomplete formation of the diaphragm, a CDH develops. Bochdalek hernias occur on the left side 75% of the time. This is most likely secondary to the fact that the pleuroperitoneal canal closes earlier on the right. About 3% of affected children have bilateral hernias. Portions of the Gl tract are usually found in left-sided hernias; whereas, the liver may be present in the thorax with right-sided hernias which account for much of the morbidity and mortality associated with CDH.

J.R.Coll. Surg. Edinb. , February 1998,29-30 Surgical technique section Combined fascia and mesh closure of large incisional hernias M. S. WHITELEY, S. B. RAY-CHAUDHURI AND R. B. GALLAND Department of Surgery, Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, UK Large incisional hernias of the abdominal wall represent substantial defects of supportive tissues. The repair of these requires the mobilization of fascia or the use of a prosthetic mesh. A method for closing large midline incisional hernias using both the fascia and a mesh was described in 1979. This repair was used for six midline hernias and four large incisional hernias in the right subcostal region. No wound complications and no recurrences (median follow-up 1 year 5 months) were seen. The combined fascia and mesh repair can be successfully used for large incisional hernias of the anterior abdominal wall in areas other than the midline. Keywords: incisional hernias, prosthetic mesh. Incisional hernias develop in up to 11% of surgical abdominal wounds. Recurrence after repair has been described in up to 44% of patients.
