Filter by:Surgical intervention to treat a inguinal hernia is a very common pediatric surgical procedure, often performed using an inguinal incision. Children who undergo hernia repair can suffer from a significant degree of discomfort postoperatively. The investigators are evaluating the effectiveness of an ultrasound guided caudal-epidural (CE) block to an US guided ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric (IIG/IHG) nerve block in achieving post operative analgesia following a hernia repair. It is hypothesized that US guided IIG/IHG nerve block leads to more effective pain control post-operatively while in hospital relative to an US guided CE block for inguinal hernia surgery.
The hypothesis for this study is complex incisional hernia repair using the separation of components technique reinforced with retrorectus placement of Gentrix™ Surgical Matrix will lead to fewer incisional hernia recurrences and fewer wound complications compared to the same incisional hernia repair techniques reinforced with other prosthetic or biologically-derived mesh.
Here, investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of inguinal operations performed with a modified Ferguson technique upon testicular volume and blood flow. This study involved 23 patients receiving surgery for inguinal hernia, hydrocele, and cord cyst. The color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) was used to assess testicular volume and blood flow before and after a modified Ferguson technique surgery. The pre- and postoperative testicular volume and blood flow were compared with the contralateral testes. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to statistically analyze the data arising; the Mann-Whitney U test and Friedman test were used to compare samples, and P < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.
Investigating whether pre-operative treatment with a selective alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist affects the likelihood of male patients developing post-operative urinary retention following hernia repair.
Patients who underwent laparoscopic repair of large hiatal hernias and anterior fundoplication with mesh are examined for their recurrence rate one year after surgery.
One of the most common complications after hernia repair is postoperative and chronic pain. TAP (transverse abdominis plain) block is a recommended multimodal method of reducing postoperative pain in laparoscopic and open inguinal hernia repair. The objective of this study is to determine whether the use of a perioperative echo guided unilateral TAP block has a superior effect on postoperative pain after laparoscopic inguinal repair compared to an anterior Quadratus Lumborum Block with a long acting local anesthetic.
To evaluate the impact on the postoperative pain of the dexamethasone addition to the usual treatment with bupivacaine in the local infiltration of the surgical area in Inguinal Hernia Repair Mesh
The purpose of this study is to determine how the robotic retromuscular hernia repair compares to the open retromuscular hernia repair for large hernia defects in patients at higher risk of wound complications.
In this prospective study the investigators seek to evaluate clinical outcomes after repairing the defect of intervertebral disc with autologous BMSC/gelatin sponge during microendoscopic discectomy for participants of lumbar disc herniation.
Tracheal occlusion IDE approved by FDA for congenital diaphragmatic hernia fetuses.
