Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Abdominal wall hernia surgery is one of the most common operations performed by general surgeons. New strategies for the repair of these hernias, combined with recently introduced platforms such as robots, in addition to laparoscopic and open procedures, necessitate a periodic review of such techniques and their outcomes.

In this Special Issue, we invite authors to discuss their experiences with abdominal hernia repair and compare their results to the current literature. We welcome reviews of current approaches and their outcomes, and will also consider accounts of unusual cases of hernias accompanied by a literature review. Papers detailing innovative approaches are most likely to be fast-tracked for publication in this special edition.

I look forward to your contributions. 

Prof. Dr. Sergio Huerta

Abstract
Most abdominopelvic structures can find their way to a groin hernia. However, location, and relative fixation are important for migration. Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) from a stomach-containing groin hernia (SCOGH) is exceedingly rare. In the current report, we present a 77-year-old man who [...] Read more.
Most abdominopelvic structures can find their way to a groin hernia. However, location, and relative fixation are important for migration. Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) from a stomach-containing groin hernia (SCOGH) is exceedingly rare. In the current report, we present a 77-year-old man who presented with GOO from SCOGH to our facility. We performed a review of the literature following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) of patients presenting with SCOGH since it was first reported in 1802. Ninety-one cases of SCOGH were identified (85 inguinal and six femoral) over the last two centuries (1802–2023). GOO from SCOGH occurred in 48% of patients in one review and 18% in our systematic analysis. Initial presentation ranged from a completely asymptomatic patient to peritonitis. Management varied from entirely conservative treatment to elective hernia repair to emergent laparotomy. Only one case of laparoscopic management was documented. Twenty-one deaths from SCOGH were reported, with most occurring in early manuscripts (1802–1896 [n = 9] and 1910–1997 [n = 10]). In the recent medical era, outcomes for patients with this rare clinical presentation are satisfactory and treatment ranging from conservative, non-operative management to surgical repair should be tailored towards patients’ clinical presentation.
