Filter by:In the literature, there are several studies that compare Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) with Lichtenstein hernia (LH) repair. There are no studies that compare sexual functions on men's health and quality of life. Our aim was to study the sexual functions of men, who underwent TEP or LH repair according to Health Survey Scoring Demonstration (SF36) and The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF).
It´s a pilot study, randomized, realized in the Central Hospital "Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto", SLP, Mexico. Hypothesis: The polyethylene mesh is secure in open ventral repair.
The purpose of this study is to assess the incidence of hernia recurrence with the use of biologic and prosthetic mesh in ventral hernia repair.
Post operative urinary retention ( POUR) is caused by sympathetic activation of the internal urethral sphincter after surgery. The smooth muscles of the around the internal urethral sphincter have been demonstrated to be rich in alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Our research idea is novel because there has been no prior prospective study conducted using alpha-blockers to reduce post-operative urinary retention in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair. The proposed research is important as existing studies that sought to understand POUR have merely established the risks factors involved. Despite so, the incidence of POUR remains high and no studies to date have investigated the use of specific interventions to reduce the risk of POUR. This is essential as patients who develop POUR have also been successfully shown to have significantly longer length of hospitalisation. Besides, the development of POUR can also cause significant pain/discomfort, increase risks of long-term urethral catheterisation and predispose patients to urinary tract infections
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a congenital anomaly associated with a high risk of mortality and need for life-saving interventions such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), nitric oxide, and vasopressor support. Although infants with CDH experience significant morbidity and mortality starting immediately after birth, high quality evidence informing delivery room resuscitation in this population is lacking. Infants with CDH are at risk for pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension and often experience hypoxemia and acidosis during neonatal transition. The standard approach to DR resuscitation is immediate umbilical cord clamping (UCC) followed by intubation and mechanical ventilation. Animal models suggest that achieving lung aeration prior to UCC results in improved pulmonary blood flow and cardiac function compared with immediate UCC before lung aeration is established. Trials of preterm infants demonstrated that initiating respiratory support prior to UCC is safe and feasible. Because infants with CDH are at high risk for pulmonary hypertension and systemic hypotension, they may benefit from the hemodynamic effects of lung aeration before UCC, namely increased pulmonary blood flow, decreased pulmonary vascular resistance, and improved cardiac output. To date, this approach has not been studied in infants with CDH.
The purpose of this protocol is to determine the safety and efficacy of abdominal wall transplantation as a treatment for the reconstruction of abdominal wall defects. Abdominal wall transplantation may be performed alone or in combination with another transplant.
Lumbar disc herniation is the most important and frequent affection in rheumatology. The first treatment is based on an non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.Physiotherapy also is used.But when there is no efficient result, it's usual to propose to the patient corticoid injection, percutaneous intervention or arthrodesis. Recently DISCOGEL® is a medical device used for lumbar disc herniation. However there is no studies evaluating the benefit and the efficiency of this technic. Since a few years, the rheumatology service of GHPSJ practise this technic using DISCOGEL® with patient resistant to the medical treatment . So the aim is to evaluate the benefit of DISCOGEL® retrospectively.
Introduction: Giant thoracic disc herniation is a rare condition for which surgical treatment is indicated when there are signs of spinal cord injury. To date, several surgical techniques have been described in the treatment of this condition on small patient series. The main objective is to evaluate the long-term results of a series of 53 patients treated with a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure. The secondary objective is to explain our pre-operative planning and the technical details of our procedure. METHOD: Retrospective monocentric study on a cohort of patients treated in our department. The following medical data from our database are analyzed: Morbidity of operative gesture (duration of procedure, bleeding, postoperative complications), clinical results at the last follow-up visit (thoracic Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, Frankel score, parietal pain , ability to walk, wish to carry out the same intervention again if necessary). On the radiological level, we evaluated the quality of the resection (total, subtotal, incomplete and impossible), the reappearance of a border of cerebrospinal fluid perimedullary and the presence of an intramedullary T2 hyperintense signal MRI post- operative. All these data are collected and analyzed anonymously. Expected Results: We believe we can demonstrate that thoracoscopy is a valid therapeutic option in the treatment of thoracic disc herniation responsible for spinal cord compression. This with a low morbidity given the minimally invasive nature of the approach.
The investigators aim to conduct a registry-based, randomized controlled trial to investigate if the robotic platform for minimally invasive ventral hernia repair with intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM), when compared to the laparoscopic platform, will influence on early postoperative pain scores, wound morbidity (surgical site infections, surgical site occurrences and surgical site occurrences requiring procedural intervention), ventral hernia recurrence rate and abdominal wall-specific quality of life.
The main objective of this study is to estimate the cost-effectiveness of ozone therapy in patients on the waiting list for surgery due to disc herniation.
