Filter by:Introduction: Any form of trauma, including surgery is known to result in oxidative stress. Single incision laparoscopy is a step forward towards almost scarless surgery. It is also expected to result in a lower degree of free radicals generation and faster normalization of the organism's antioxidant capacity. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess a number of plasma oxidative stress markers in patients operated due to inguinal hernia using typical totally extra peritoneal (TEP) and modified single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) methods. Material and methods: Thirty-two consecutive patients with no acute disease and severe chronic disorder, were qualified for inguinal hernia laparoscopic surgery. All were caucasian males, aged 24-69 and they underwent one of two surgical approaches: totally extra-peritoneal repair (TEP) and single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS). TEP patients created Group 1 (n= 17) and SILS patients formed Group 2 (n= 17). Total antioxidant status (TAS) and thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS) were determined in three time points: before, one day and four days after the laparoscopic surgery.
Unlike Lichtenstein tension free repair for inguinal hernia, Desarda's repair was introduced as a pure tissue repair with no need for mesh. In other words; the complications which may arise from the use of a foreign body (mesh) will be avoided. The idea was to evaluate the efficacy of this new repair and compare it to the standard Lichtenstein repair.
Outpatient services in Germany are less controlled by external quality assurance programs. Comprehensive outcome data for benchmarking or health-care decision-making are missing e.g. for day case surgery. A quality-of-life instrument specific to hernia repair with mesh has been recently proposed (Carolinas Comfort Scale, CCS) .This study evaluates the integration of CSS as part of a multicentre quality assurance scheme for day-case (outpatient) surgery.b.The Study Group on "Quality assurance in ambulatory hernia surgery" has developed and standardized Operation technique for 3D Implants. As a consequence, any deviation must be documented by the standard. The extension to other centers according to a standardized protocol took place (shadowing to learn the operational standards, training in documentation, Minimum quantity 30 interventions per year, etc.).
The incidence of post-operative pain after open inguinal hernia repair is high and impair the quality of lives of the patients.The purpose of this study is to determine whether transverse abdominis plane block combined with intravenous patient controlled analgesia is superior to intravenous patient controlled analgesia in improving the quality of life and reducing the incidence of chronic post-surgical pain
This investigation will be a double-armed, randomized (Blinded patients and Blinded examiner) prospective study designed to collect perioperative and postoperative data to compare the QOL of ProFlor vs. Lichtenstein inguinal hernia repair.
Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is becoming increasingly popular mainly because of short-term advantages compared to open hernioplasties with mesh. In the prevailing economic climate, the total costs of treatment is a subject of intense research. This study is designed to evaluate the results of open and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs, with a special emphasis in costs of treatment, complications and convalescence.
Groin hernia repair is a common procedure performed in approximately 2,000 patients per one million inhabitants. Severe chronic pain following groin hernia repair is seen in 2-5% of the patients indicating that a large number of patients each year suffer from debilitating reduction in health-related quality of life. This study examines the effect of ultra-sound guided blocks with local anesthesia in the groin in regard to pain relief and sleep quality. The hypothesis of the study is that a block will confer significant pain relief to patients with severe chronic pain following open groin hernia repair.
The purpose of this study is to determine if self-fixating polyester mesh will have lower incidence of chronic postoperative pain and recurrence than non-fixating polyester mesh when used for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
This prospective, randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled study is designed to evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block with ropivacaine 0,75 %, in patients undergoing unilateral inguinal hernia repair with a mesh under general anaesthesia, and how the efficiency of early postoperative analgesia achieved correlates with the risk of developing a chronic pain state, a not uncommon condition after this type of surgery.
Systemic lidocaine administration may improve postoperative pain and recovery after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in pediatric patients
