    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED FROM A JOURNAL ARTICLE ENTITLED: POST-TRAUMATIC LUMBAR HERNIA REPAIRED WITH PHS. AUTHOR: MIN CHUNG CITATION: J KOREAN SURG SOC 2009; 77: 221-224; DOI: 10.4174/JKSS.2009.77.3.221. THIS STUDY AIMED TO PRESENT A (B)(6) MALE PATIENT WHO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH GRYNFELTT HERNIA IN THE UPPER LUMBAR TRIANGLE IN WHICH HE UNDERWENT SURGERY. IN THE SURGERY, A PROLENE HERNIA SYSTEM (PHS) OF MEDIUM SIZE WAS INSERTED INTO THE PREPERITONEAL SPACE USING RING FORCEPS. BOTH WING PARTS OF THE ONLAY MESH WERE CUT OUT HORIZONTALLY, AND AN INTERRUPT SUTURE WAS PERFORMED IN FOUR PLACES AROUND THE CONNECTOR WITH SUTURE PROLENE 3-0. ONE MONTH AFTER DISCHARGE, HE COMPLAINED OF BLOATING AT THE SURGICAL SITE WHICH WAS DIAGNOSED AS SEROMA. IN THE OUTPATIENT ROOM, 10 ML OF SEROMA FLUID WAS ASPIRATED WITH A SYRINGE. THE PHS USES THE PREPERITONEAL SPACE AS IN THE LAPAROSCOPIC PROCEDURE, AND THE CONNECTOR FIXES THE MESH IN PLACE, EVEN THOUGH THE SURROUNDING TISSUE OF THE LUMBAR HERNIA IS WEAK ENOUGH TO FIX, AND THE UNDERLAY COVERS THE HERNIATION WELL ENOUGH TO MAKE HERNIA REPAIR SAFE AND EASY.
