What is a hernia and what is component separation?
Hernias are relatively common health issues that often require surgery to repair. Information below addresses basic information about hernias and common questions about treatment. Some hernias are so large (10 or more centimeters) or have such weak surrounding tissues that we cannot get the surrounding tissues back together; the muscles are too tight to bring them to meet in the middle of the abdomen.
Potential Issues After Gallbladder Surgery
Long-term effects of gallbladder removal include diarrhea, fatty food intolerance, gas, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, and intermittent episodes of abdominal pain.
Incisional Hernia and Its Treatment
An incisional hernia is a bulge in the abdomen that forms when tissues or organs protrude through the abdominal wall. It can occur when the surgical incision weakens the abdominal muscles, which normally protect, support, and hold the abdominal organs. An incisional hernia is a common complication associated with abdominal surgery.
New target identified for pancreatic cancer treatment
Researchers have found a protein to block the growth of cancer stem-like cells as a possible treatment for pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers in humans. Symptoms rarely appear early so it is often only diagnosed at an advanced stage, meaning prognosis and survival rates are poor. This, combined with lifestyle factors, means it is set to overtake colorectal, breast and prostate cancer and become the second leading cause of worldwide cancer-related deaths by 2030.
