Combined surgical treatment of a pinched, unrecoverable, ventral hernia of the anterior abdominal wall and retroperitoneal tumor: a case from the practice of a district surgeon

The study presents the results of the combined surgical treatment of a pinched, unrecoverable ventral hernia of the anterior abdominal cavity, resection of a non-viable pinched loop of the small intestine, and side-to-side anastomosis and removal of a large retroperitoneal tumor. The latter required an incision of the anterior abdominal wall along the white line of the abdomen, from the xiphoid process of the sternum, to the upper border of the pubis, with subsequent plastic surgery of the hernial gate with local tissues.
