Hernia Repair, Incisional
Posted by on Saturday, 3rd May 2014
An incisional hernia happens when a weakness in the muscle of the abdomen allows the tissues of the abdomen to protrude through the muscle. The hernia appears as a bulge under the skin, and can be painful or tender to the touch. In the case of an incisional hernia, the weakness in the muscle is caused by the incision made in a prior abdominal surgery. An incisional hernia is typically small enough that only the peritoneum, or the lining of the abdominal cavity, pushes through. In severe cases, portions of organs may move through the hole in the muscle.

Labial fusion
Posted by on Wednesday, 30th April 2014
Labial fusion, or labial adhesion, is when the small lips around the entrance to the vagina become sealed together and covered with a fleshy membrane. It is sometimes seen in babies and young girls and is usually nothing to worry about.
The membrane usually completely seals the vaginal opening, leaving a very small gap at the front through which urine passes.
For most babies or girls, labial fusion does not cause any problems and is often discovered accidentally by a parent or carer during nappy changing or bathing.

Gallstone Ileus
Posted by on Monday, 28th April 2014
Gallstone ileus is obstruction of the bowel due to impaction of one of more gallstones. To achieve this, stones usually have to be at least 2.5 cm in diameter.
A fistula develops between a gangrenous gallbladder and the duodenum or other parts of the gastrointestinal tract, allowing passage of the stone. Occasionally the stone may enter the intestine through a fistulous communication between the bile duct and the gastrointestinal tract. Stones less than 2.5 cm in diameter may traverse the alimentary canal without causing obstruction. When the gallstone lodges in the duodenum and causes gastric outlet obstruction, it is called Bouveret's syndrome.
