When a ventral hernia occurs, it usually arises in the abdominal wall where a previous surgical incision was made. In this area the abdominal muscles have weakened; this results in a bulge or a tear. In the same way that an inner tube pushes through a damaged tire, the inner lining of the abdomen pushes through the weakened area of the abdominal wall to form a balloon-like sac. This can allow a loop of intestines or other abdominal contents to push into the sac. If the abdominal contents get stuck within the sac, they can become trapped or “incarcerated.” This could lead to potentially serious problems that might require emergency surgery.

Sigmoid Colostomy

Next to esophagojejunostomy stapling for the reconstruction following total gastrectomy, several silk stitches anchoring the jejunum to endoabdominal fascia are made to restore the function of phrenoesophageal ligament.
anchoring suture reduces the impairment of the anastomotic blood flow that is caused by gravitational tension and so is useful to protect the esophagojejunostomy after total gastrectomy.

Cholecystectomy

This task requires streching a rubber band around 16 nails on a wooden board. A penalty is calculated when the rubber band is not streched around a nail at the end of the task. Score = time (seconds) + number of missed nails x 10. Performance standard: Score = 62 sec [Kolkman 2008]
