Hernia surgery and excision are the most frequently performed general surgical interventions. More than 350,000 of such operations are performed annually in the USA alone, and in Europe this Figure is 450,000, which leads to high costs for full treatment and further rehabilitation.
For practical surgery, the first domestic mesh prosthesis with a composite coating has been developed for use in allohernioplasty of ventral hernias. Taking into account the fact that modern herniology continues to actively use plastic surgery methods
Minimally invasive techniques are gaining traction in the discipline of hernia repair. However, there still remains a significant learning curve, especially when repairing complicated hernias laparoscopically. At times, many surgeons find themselves contorting their hands and bodies in abnormal postures to perform certain segments of the operation.
In this study, we investigate the effect of small bite closure compared to a cohort of mass closure in emergency abdominal surgery. Our primary outcomes are wound dehiscence and wound infection, and our secondary outcome is 30-day mortality.
Umbilical and epigastric hernias are frequent clinical conditions with expected low complications. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to analized the complications associated to the intraperitoneal bicomponent meshes as Ventralex. Bard Composix Kugel. / FLaPp. / CMC. produced respectively by Bard and Dipromed SRL. These prostheses are the most frequently used composite meshes.
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a rare condition that affects approximately 1 in 2500-5000 births and has been classified as posterolateral, anterior or central.
The posterolateral defect occurs on the left side (85%), although it may involve the right side (13%) or be bilateral (2%). Equivalent survival has been reported for left-sided versus right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernias, although the latter have been associated with a high incidence of pulmonary complications...
Background: After implantation, prostheses for hernia repair become encapsulated tissue as the result of foreign body reaction possibly causing structural deformations. The aim of this study is to use X-ray microtomography to obtain three-dimensional characterisation of pristine devices to serve as references for explanted prostheses harvested at reoperation and preserved in a solution of formalin...
Purpose: Incisional hernias are commonly known to occur as a complication of abdominal procedures. This potentially leads to increased healthcare costs and decreased favorable patient outcomes. This study is a retrospective data analysis to compare incisional hernia repairs performed robotically to historical trends in open and laparoscopic surgeries.
Objective: Laparoscopic repair of a ventral hernia is a feasible alternative to conventional surgery but it is not known whether there are definite advantages with this approach. The present study was performed to compare laparoscopic Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh repair (IPOM) with Open Mesh Repair (OMR).
Rectus sheath haematomas are uncommon causes of abdominal pain resulting from bleeding into the rectus sheath. We report a case of a 67-year-old female with a symptomatic, non-resolved chronic abdominal haematoma successfully treated with Bromelain. A 14-French pigtail drain was inserted into her haematoma allowing Bromelain administration and subsequent haematoma extraction. We demonstrated symptomatic improvement with minimal side effects and significant reduction in haematoma size.
Background: Grip-based incisional hernia repair needs the accurate determination of the hernia defect area and of the distensibility of the hernia area. Both parameters can be derived using computerized tomography of the abdomen at rest and during Valsalva’s maneuver. The two existing ways of analysis are compared for the first time on ten patients in a prospective observational study.
Amyand´s hernia is a rare condition defined by the inclusion of the appendix vermiformis within the hernia sac. Its diagnosis is very difficult in the pre-operative period. The clinical manifestation of incarcerated inguinal hernia generally masks the symptoms of acute appendicitis.
Incarceration of abdominal organs in a diaphragmatic hernia is a potentially life-threatening condition. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A successful management of this entity requires fast and correct diagnosis and prompt treatment.
Background/purpose: Burst abdomen is a dehiscence of the layers of the abdominal wall, including the peritoneum, with exposure of the intestines. It usually occurs between the 6th and 12th day postoperative. With an incidence of 0.4-1.2% following major abdominal surgery and a high morbidity and mortality, burst abdomen is a challenge for the abdominal surgeon.
Background: Ventral hernias are prevalent results in abdominal surgeries and may represent a surgical challenge in complex cases, mainly due to tension in the abdominal wall musculature. The failure of surgical correction may lead to a more morbid treatment for the patient, in addition to a considerable socioeconomic impact.
Intraoperative diagnosis of iatrogenic bowel injuries is usually not exceedingly difficult, because intestinal loops are often visible during dissection procedure. However, when they are confused with dense adhesions, all effort to prevent damage may be useless.
