Special Issue on Hernia
Call for
Papers
A hernia is the protrusion of an organ or the fascia of an organ
through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it from within, such as inguinal
hernia, femoral hernia, umbilical hernia, incisional hernia, diaphragmatic
hernia, cerebral hernia, etc. Hernia brings great pain to the patients. A
hernia may present a visible or palpable lump and cause persistent pain at the site,
in some cases more vague symptoms resulting from pressure on an organ which has
become “stuck” in the hernia, sometimes leading to organ dysfunction. Different
kinds of hernia require specific managements or treatments.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line
researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on
exploring hernia. Potential topics include, but are not
limited to:
l Causes and diagnosis of hernia
l Pathology associated with hernias
l Complications of hernia surgeries
l Groin denervation during and following hernia surgery
l Prosthetic materials used in hernia surgeries
l Hernia management and treatment
