Interstitial incisional hernia of greater omentum: An incidental finding during routine cadaveric dissection

Omental herniation, located between the rectus abdominis muscle and the anterior blade of the rectus sheath, can be triggered after a transverse suprapubic incision. It causes the development of an incisional interstitial hernia (IIH), which is an extremely rare and poorly understood condition. Base...

Description
Summary:Omental herniation, located between the rectus abdominis muscle and the anterior blade of the rectus sheath, can be triggered after a transverse suprapubic incision. It causes the development of an incisional interstitial hernia (IIH), which is an extremely rare and poorly understood condition. Based on this information, our work presents the first anatomical description of incisional interstitial hernia found during routine dissection at the Human Anatomy Laboratory of the Federal University of Ceará in a formalized female corpse. Une hernie omentale, située entre le muscle grand droit de l’abdomen et la lame antérieure de la gaine du muscle droit, peut être induite après une pathologie incision suprapubienne transversale. Elle provoque le développement d’une hernie interstitielle incisionnelle (HIS), qui est une pathologie extrêmement rare et mal comprise. Sur la base de ces informations, notre travail présente la première description anatomique d’une hernie interstitielle incisionnelle lors de la dissection de routine au Laboratoire d’anatomie humaine de l’Université Fédérale du Ceará sur le cadavre d une femme formolée.
