Filter by:Incarcerated inguinal hernia is one of the common acute abdomen abdominal surgery, often prone to intestinal necrosis and acute peritonitis.Using traditional tension hernia reparation, the recurrence rate were as high as 30%. In recent years, biological materials especially acellular matrix materials (Acellular Dermal Matrix, ADM) in resisting the infection, has become a research hotspot. In the project, the investigators try to address the role of ADM in incarcerated inguinal hernia patients.
A clinical study evaluating acute and chronic pain following laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair comparing the ProGripTM self- fixating mesh with tack fixation.
Observational longitudinal study in children operated at birth on diaphragmatic hernia and/or oesophageal atresia : assessment of lung function parameters; assessment of quality of life and cognitive development; assessment of stress parenting and strategies of adaptation.
In this prospective observational trial the effect of the Disc FX microinvasive therapy should be examined in (approximately 150) adult patients with low back pain.
The aim of this study is the visualization of the mesh surface and the confirmation with MRI scan at 1 month and 13 months after standardized retromuscular incisional hernia repair with the visible CICAT mesh (Dynamesh®).
Fixation of mesh and peritoneal closure during TAPP repair using n-butyl cyanoacrylate.
Ventral hernias are among the most common surgical diseases among patients.The natural history of patients with ventral hernias who are managed non-operatively is unknown. The aim of this prospective trial is to document the natural history of patients who are undergoing initially non-operative management. The investigators hypothesize that 1) the risk of emergency ventral hernia repair is low, 2) the risk of elective ventral hernia repair is high, and 3) patients managed non-operatively will develop increasing hernia size and symptom progression. This is a prospective observational study of all patients undergoing non-operative management at LBJ General Hospital. Patients will be consented and then followed for 5 years. Phone interviews will be done with these patients yearly to assess surgical and medical history, information about their hernia, including pain level due to the hernia, as well as function and quality of life.
We propose to examine Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) patients for evidence of airway inflammation as a first step to characterize the reported bronchodilator responsiveness. Airway biopsy studies are invasive and thus we propose to perform induced sputum studies to document the amount and type of inflammation present. Another ancillary non-invasive measure of airway inflammation that we will use is exhaled nitric oxide (NO). The primary objective of this study is to determine if CDH patients have any evidence of airway inflammation. The hypothesis of this study is that children with CDH do not have evidence of airway inflammation associated with bronchodilator responsiveness. Based on this information, treatment for CDH patients will hopefully be more accurate and appropriate for their specific needs.
This study will compare the safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness of a permanent synthetic mesh versus a biologic prosthesis for the repair of ventral hernias in the setting of clean-contaminated (Class 2) or contaminated (Class 3) surgical procedures. The findings of this study will have a major impact on the field of hernia surgery as it will provide objective guide to mesh selection, optimize surgical approaches for complex ventral hernia repair, and ultimately significantly improve patient outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to show that the use of preoperative rectus sheath blocks can ultimately alleviate the need for using nondepolarizing muscle relaxants during certain abdominal procedures.
