Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a malformation that affects 1 in every 3000 newborns. The diaphragm does not complete its closure during embryogenesis, which allows the abdominal organs to herniate into the thoracic cavity altering lung development. The lungs of patients with CDH are small, with a decreased surface area for gas exchange and developmental impair of the pulmonary vasculature, resulting in respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension shortly after birth. When clamping the umbilical cord, a large part of the preload is abruptly excluded, generating an increase in vascular resistance, which in turn increase the afterload, resulting in a decrease in cardiac output. The output is restored by decreasing vascular resistance in pulmonary circuit after lung aeration upon receiving the preload of the right atrium, increasing pulmonary flow and thus sustaining the preload of the left ventricle. If pulmonary aeration occurs before clamping the umbilical cord, the pulmonary blood flow increases before placenta flow is lost, thus avoiding a decrease in cardiac output. This modality has been called physiological base cord clamping (PFC). The hypothesis is that PFC once ventilation has been established could prevent hypoxia and improve cardiac output in newborns with CDH and secondarily improve their hemodynamic parameters, stabilizing gas exchange and pulmonary hypertension during the first 24 hours of birth.
The study is devoted to the impact of preemptive regional Transversus abdominal plane block on the postoperative acute and chronic pain after elective Transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair.
During the period from February 2018 to February 2022, a study was conducted on patients with parastomal hernia.There were 23 patients who underwent repair surgery for D-type colostomy hernia, while 68 patients underwent traditional laparoscopic repair surgery for hernia.The inclusion criteria were: (1) preoperative diagnosis of parastomal hernia by CT scan; (2) underwent laparoscopic repair surgery or combined laparoscopic repair with abdominal wall and stoma reconstruction surgery.The exclusion criteria were: (1) occurrence of tumor recurrence and/or new tumors during the follow-up period; (2) death or loss to follow-up during the follow-up period.
The defect closure was found to have higher pain and less seroma formation at various intervals of time following TEP for moderate-large direct inguinal hernia. Although these findings were statistically insignificant, they may be clinically significant, and further studies with a larger sample size are suggested.
Inguinal hernia surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures in early infancy. Preoperative anxiety remains a vexing issue, and it exists in nearly 50% of pediatric patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the feasibility of bilateral laparoscopic exploration for all unilateral cases followed by laparoscopic bilateral TEP repair in all cases with a contralateral occult hernia and to compare complications, recurrence rates, postoperative pain, and operative duration with prospectively performed unilateral repairs in young to middle-aged patients presenting with unilateral hernias in the surgery outpatient department. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To compare complications, recurrence rates, postoperative pain, and operative duration between both groups. - Incidence of occult contralateral hernia Patients attending the OPD for unilateral inguinal hernia were counseled about the trial and fully encouraged to understand the difference between two procedures for unilateral hernia: bilateral exploration and bilateral TEP repair, upon which if a contralateral occult inguinal hernia was observed, documented, and controls were taken from the patients who denied bilateral exploration and underwent unilateral TEP repair. The allotment of patients was done in two groups of 30 patients each. Researchers will compare Group A( bilateral TEP) with Group B (unilateral TEP) to see if complications, recurrence rates, postoperative pain, and operative duration occur in each group
Many patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair are prone to developing acute and chronic post-operative pain. The aim of the study is to show a possible correlation between pain and acute phase proteins in order to: - predict the severity of pain; - select most suitable pain relief therapy for the patient.
This study is Interventional, Parallel, Double-blinded, Randomized study. Subjects aged 20 to 70 years who had a Lumbar discectomy or laminectomy, MegaShield-SP® and Guardix-SP Plus will be applied.
This study investigates on the effect of two different operative techniques to treat abdominal wall hernias. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the eTEP (Extended totally extraperitoneal repair) technique leads to a better outcome than the IPOM (Intraperitoneal onlay mesh) technique. The main questions it aims to answer are: - pain after the operation - rate of complications - rate of recurrence and reoperations - quality of life. Participants will: Either be operated using the eTEP or the IPOM technique. Be followed up either in person or via email / phone call at day 1, day 7, day 14, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1, 3 and 5 years after the surgery to asses the above-stated main and some more outcomes.
