Filter by:The material cost for robotic groin hernia repair is higher than for conventional laparoscopic surgery. In this study, this amount will be quantified and possible differences in early postoperative course, hospital stay and readmission rate that could influence the cost/benefit ratio for robotic groin hernia surgery will be analyzed.
Inguinal hernias are associated with problems related to the venous system by the linking to extracellular matrix alterations (ECM). On the other hand, arterial diseases (arterial aneurysms, carotid, stenosis, peripheral artery disease) are widespread in the general population and may share others pathological pathways related to ECM impairment. Aim to this study is to evaluate the prevalence of arterial diseases in patients with inguinal hernia.
This prospective double-blind randomized study will aim at evaluating the short- and long-term postoperative analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block with a combination of local anesthetic and dexmedetomidine in inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia
Inguinal hernia is one of the most-common surgical conditions. Incidence is about 27% in males and 3% in females.The treatment of this condition is inguinal hernia repair operation which can be approached with several techniques; open hernia repair, laparoscopic hernia repair and robotic hernia repair. The current guidelines recommend the hernia repair operation with mesh placement either Lichtenstenstein operation or laparoscopic technique; transabdominal preperitoneal technique (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal technique (TEP). In the laparoscopic approach, one of the complications that can occur is post-operative pain from the mesh fixator. So the self-gripping mesh becomes another option to decrease this incidence.However the adhesive property of the mesh is still challenging for many surgeons. Several techniques of self-gripping mesh placement were introduced. One of the popular techniques is bilateral vertical folding of self-gripping mesh which still causes some adhesive problems when introduced to the target area. This research's aim is to present a new technique of the self-gripping mesh placement which is more effective, more convenient, and decreases the time taken to place the mesh at the surgery site.
Failure of closure of the processus vaginalis during intrauterine life will result in congenital inguinal hernia [CIH]. Exact incidence of CIH in children is not known but it has been reported between 1-5 %. In premature babies, the incidence may reach up to 15-30%. Congenital inguinal hernia is more common in boys than girls, ranging from 4:1 to 10:1 [1]. Although the open inguinal herniotomy and high ligation of the sac is the gold standard line of the treatment, Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair become a good option. The laparoscopy has many advantages that it is simple, feasible, and safe with detection of the contralateral hernia and other hernias. In addition to laparoscopy results in excellent cosmetic results low wound infection, less pain, and short hospital stay. The non-division of the hernia sac in during laparoscopic hernia repair may be the cause of recurrence and postoperative hydrocele [5]. Division of hernia sac and suturing of proximal part at IIR; is modification of the laparoscopic technique which mimic what happen during open herniotomy. Some authors resected the processus vaginalis and closed the inguinal ring for the repair of CIH. They claimed that they have excellent results with low recurrence.One author described a technique based on the theory that CIH is due to a patent processus vaginalis, and therefore, the procedure should be to entirely resect it, with or without closure of the internal ring. This allows the peritoneal scar tissue to close the area of the ring. Also, this scarring occurs in the extent of the inguinal canal where the dissection took place, therefore causing the same peritoneal scarring and sealing of the inguinal floor with complete resolution of the problem. However, a few studies address the superiority of technique over the other and to date there is no controlled randomized study to compare needlescopic disconnection of the hernia sac and closure of the peritoneum at IIR versus disconnection without closure of the peritoneum.
Currently, there is a controversy regarding the best approach for simultaneous repair of bilateral inguinal hernia. The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of laparoscopic versus open repair of bilateral inguinal hernia
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the progression of surgeon efficiency and proficiency of traditionally open or laparoscopic surgeons performing robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair throughout their learning curve.
Prospective national cohort study of patients submitted to elective inguinal hernia repair. The primary outcome is the prevalence of chronic postoperative inguinal pain, according to the EuraHS QoL questionnaire at 3 months postoperatively. The study will be delivered in all Portuguese regions through a collaborative research network. Four 2-week inclusion periods will be open for recruitment. A site-specific questionnaire will capture procedure volume and logistical facilities for hernia surgery.
This study aim to describe the presence, type and size of Corona mortis (CMOR) in patients undergoing total extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair procedures. This study also aim to describe the preperitoneal vascular anatomy of inguinal area and provide in vivo knowledge about CMOR.
This study aim to compare efficacy and safety of Laparoendoscopic single site total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair /LESS TEP/ and traditional total extraperitoneal hernia repair with 3 ports /TEP/.
