Surgical site infection (SSI) is the main complication of surgery. The prevention of superficial SSI by topical prophylaxis is controversial. Human studies on wound lavage with topical solutions (saline, antiseptics or antibiotics) are old and do not yield conclusive results. In experimental conditions there is evidence in favor of the efficiency wound lavage with saline and antibiotic solutions. Clinical studies are needed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of antibiotic lavage. Objective. Study of the efficacy of topical antibiotic therapy in the prevention of SSI in patients undergoing abdominal surgery with different risk of infection. Method. Project comprising several randomized double-blind clinical trials with a common methodology. Procedures with varying degrees of contamination, as emergency abdominal surgery, cesareans and complex abdominal wall reconstructions will be studied. Follow-up will be 30 days after operation. Data will be collected anonymously and the relationships between the variables will be analyzed using Pearson's chi-square, survival analysis and analysis of risk factors as appropriate. The effect of topical antibiotic on hospital stay, resistance patterns in SSI, and antibiotic serum levels will be analyzed.
Patients who underwent ventral abdominal hernia repair with self adhering, atraumatic mesh in sublay position are examined for their recurrence rate
Aim of the work This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effect of botox injection in abdominal wall muscle post major abdominal surgery in terms of postoperative pain, incidence of incisional hernia Study design and setting This is a double-blind prospective randomized controlled trial that will be conducted in the general surgery department and colorectal surgery unit of Mansoura University hospital in the period from June 2019 to June2020. The patient's recruitment process will be started and continued for one year after getting the approval from the local Institutional Review Board in Mansoura University in concordance with the Helsinki Declaration Principals. The data will be collected and analyzed prospectively. A signed informed consent will be obtained from every patient before enrollment highlighting the possible future publication. On request, patients can be excluded from the study at any time if they do not want to continue.
The primary aim of the present study was to show how a national clinical register combined with other nationwide administrative registers may serve as a tool for pre- and post-marketing evaluation of new mesh and mesh fixation products for hernia surgery, using Physiomesh® versus other meshes designed for laparoscopic hernia repair as an example.
Investigating the effect of multimodal pain treatment after hernia repair
Researchers retrospectively reviewed patients with internal hernia that confirmed by surgical exploration between Feb. 2012 and Feb. 2018. and analysis the Medical records and MDCT images to investigate the clinical and radiological features of internal hernia.
The study evaluates whether sarcopenia influences the prevalence of abdominal hernias in patients with cirrhosis.
Large abdominal wall hernias are surgically challenging to repair and often associated with significant postoperative complications. Risk factors associated with surgical site complications, such as infection and wound dehiscence, include obesity, diabetes, and smoking. In these high risk patients, the placement of synthetic mesh increases the risk of mesh infection, enterocutaneous fistula formation, and mesh explantation. One of the larger studies of risk factors associated with mesh explantation demonstrated concomitant intra-abdominal procedures have a greater than 6-fold increased hazard of subsequent mesh explantation. As an alternative to synthetic meshes, bioprosthetic meshes derived from the decellularization and processing of allogeneic or xenogeneic tissue sources have been introduced that can often allow the surgeon to treat the surgical site occurrences and salvage the repair without required mesh explantation. Low rates of mesh infection and explantation have been reported for bioprosthetic meshes and are recommended in these complicated patients by the Ventral Hernia Working Group, based on the best available clinical evidence. Despite widespread use of bioprosthetic mesh, there continues to be concern for complications associated with their use (i.e. high seroma and recurrence rates, etc.). This has led to the modification of these matrices by several industry leaders (Acelity, Cook, Integra, etc.) to include a fenestrated platform to allow for fluid to flow through the matrix upon implantation while supporting regeneration in complex abdominal wall reconstruction. To our knowledge, there are no clinical studies prospectively evaluating the long term clinical outcomes for abdominal wall reconstruction procedures involving fenestrated macropourous biologic matrices.This macroporous technology allows for tissue revascularization and integration of the biologic graft and thus an expected improvement in overall outcome. Bioprosthetic fenestrated materials such as Surgimend MP® were developed to assist with earlier incorporation and vascularization of the biologic graft while providing reinforcement of hernia repair. However, there is an absence of high quality prospective data regarding the use of these materials in complicated abdominal wall reconstruction, and no comparative data exists. This study is a prospective, case series study evaluating the efficacy and performance of SurgiMend MP® during complex ventral hernia repairs. This case series involves a biologically derived hernia mesh under its cleared FDA indication for hernia repair. Efficacy will be determined by quantifying surgical complications, hernia recurrence, and cost effectiveness endpoints.
This study is designed to examine the effects on post operative pain after the use of a fixation device to secure a mesh in the abdomen to repair a hernia of the abdominal wall. The fixation devices to be used differ with one being made from titanium and is permanent and the other being made from an absorbable material. Both fixation devices are commonly used but two questions remain unanswered, does one cause more chronic pain and also what if any will be the effect on recurrence rates of the hernia. No trial has been undertaken to date which will not only examine the fixation device but in the setting where the hernia is closed first. The closure of the hernial defect by the keyhole technique is a relatively new and growing concept in the hernia world.
