Filter by:It is well established that preterm inguinal hernias discovered in the NICU pose a significant surgical risk due to the associated co-morbid conditions that accompany these patients. Currently, the standard of care in the United States is general anesthesia. There have been studies that have established that elective outpatient repair of inguinal hernias found in the NICU can be safely performed. Patients that are ready for discharge from the NICU will have inguinal hernia repair prior to leaving. Inguinal hernia repair will also be done on those premature infants that are seen in the Nemours surgical clinic. Spinal anesthesia is currently the most common anesthetic procedure used in the surgical treatment of preterm inguinal hernias after general anesthesia. Caudal catheter technique has been proven to safely provide post-operative care of premature infants. The caudal catheter technique involves placement of a small catheter under ultrasound guidance into the caudal epidural canal to allow re-dosing of local anesthetic during the case and has been shown to be safe and effective management in neonates (Somri M, 2007).
Lower abdominal operations; especially inguinal hernia repairs are one of the most frequently performed operations in the daily practice of pediatric surgeries.Regional anesthesia techniques are frequently and effectively used methods in postoperative pain control. Main purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block and caudal block in pediatric unilateral inguinal hernia operations
When conducting the Shouldice procedure the 4-layer suture of the transversalis fascia is usually done with Prolene worldwide. At the Shouldice hospital the wire has originally been used for these augmentation. During the last decade several Shouldice Surgeons started to use the Prolene due to occasional delivery problems of the wire from Germany. The 1-year- recurrence rate at the Shouldice hospital is 1,15% (mainly wire-use). The published 1-year recurrence rate in Europe is 2%. As quality assessment, this project intends to evaluate these two options for suturing (wire vs Prolene) in the elective inguinal hernia patient in terms of 1-year recurrence rate. The population of focus will be those who had a primary or secondary inguinal hernia operation at Shouldice Hospital and the project is estimated to take 3 months.
This study aims to confirm the perioperative and early postoperative safety and clinical performance (efficacy) of the Dexter Robotic System, in patients undergoing primary transperitoneal unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernia repair.
This research is intended to be a pilot study to identify differences in outcomes for varied lifting and physical activity precautions following surgical repair of single-sided inguinal hernias. The researchers hypothesize that when given the autonomy to return to activity at the patient's discretion, convalescence will decrease in comparison to a control group given specific precautions to refrain from lifting and strenuous activity. Specific aims include differences in convalescence and surgical outcomes for each group, i.e. rates of complications, hernia recurrence, physical activity assessments pre and postop, and quality of life outcomes.
This randomized study compares open inguinal hernia repair (Lichtenstein hernioplasty) to endoscopic repair (TEP) in terms of chronic pain and recurrences in one and five years after operation.
In this study, quadratus lumborum block (QLB), transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, and local anesthetic infiltration will be performed preoperatively in patients who will undergo unilateral inguinal herniorrhaphy operation under general anesthesia. Quality of recovery (QoR-15) score, postoperative acute and chronic pain levels will be evaluated.
The present study seeks to determine whether improved visual acuity and enhanced flexibility of the robotic platform results in a reduced surgical stress response and an improvement in indices of surgical outcome measures for simple and complex inguinal hernia repair
Inguinal hernia surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures among general surgery cases. As with many open surgical methods, this repair is also performed laparoscopically. Among these closed methods, the most frequently applied method is laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair (TEP). In general, this surgery is performed under general anesthesia (GA) in many centers. However, in cases where general anesthesia is inconvenient, local or other anesthesia methods are preferred. It has been stated in many studies in the literature that this surgery can be performed with methods other than general anesthesia. In a study of 480 patients, one of which was Sinha et al., it was shown that this surgical procedure was successfully performed under spinal anesthesia (SA). In a prospective randomized study by Dönmez et al., patients who underwent TEP under general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia were compared. It has been reported that TEP repair can be performed safely under SA and that SA is associated with less postoperative pain, better recovery, and better patient satisfaction than GA.2 In a retrospective study by Yıldırım et al. It has been shown that there is significantly less need for analgesics and better patient satisfaction. There are also many meta-analyses made on this subject in the literature. Compared with GA in these, SA was associated with a longer operative time, and postoperative pain and nausea and vomiting were less in SA. However, the risk of urinary retention in SA was significantly increased. It was observed that there was no significant difference in surgical complications such as seroma and wound infection. Despite all these studies, until now, there is no clear consensus on which anesthesia should be used. The aim of the study is to show the effect of both the surgical method and the anesthesia method on the patient during surgery and in the early postoperative period in inguinal hernia
Subjects receive either CPL-01, positive control, or negative control after herniorrhaphy and are then followed.
