Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if mesh weight has an impact on postoperative pain, ventral hernia recurrence, incidence of deep wound infection, and overall quality of life following ventral hernia repair with mesh.
The study is designed to demonstrate that the use of OviTex® 1S material for a ventral hernia repair leads to the same or a lower percentage of early post-operative complications and true hernia recurrences when compared to other types of available meshes. 100 subjects will be included from 5-7 participating investigator sites. Within 30 days prior to the hernia repair surgery, a baseline visit will be performed during which the patient's eligibility for the study will be evaluated. The surgical technique used for the repair will be determined by the investigator/surgeon. Additional study data will be collected during the hospital stay, 30 and 90 days post-operatively and 12 and 24 months post-operatively. At the follow up visits, the surgical site will be evaluated by the surgeon, both the surgeon and patient will be asked to rate their satisfaction with the repair and the subject will be asked to complete two Quality of Life questionnaires.
This is a prospective, case-matched, systematic follow up of up to 70 pre-existing patients whom underwent paraesophageal hernia repair between June 1, 2012 and September 30, 2016. Patients whom are willing to participate in the study will be asked to return for a one time follow up visit to reassess for hiatal hernia recurrence both symptomatically and radiologically to compare the efficacy of the use of MatriStem Surgical Matrix (ACell) mesh to other biologic meshes.
Quantitative radiographic imaging holds promise as a novel and innovative strategy to assess ventral hernia patients. Assessing abdominal wall changes surrounding ventral hernia using shear wave velocity values measured with ultrasound will identify features of the abdominal wall that differ between healthy volunteers and subjects scheduled to have ventral hernia repair. Through the use of ultrasound including shear wave velocity measurements, the abdominal wall of 25 subjects scheduled to have ventral hernia repair will be compared to those of 35 healthy volunteers. The ultrasound measurements will elucidate if ventral hernia affects abdominal wall elasticity and effect surgical outcomes.
Here, investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of inguinal operations performed with a modified Ferguson technique upon testicular volume and blood flow. This study involved 23 patients receiving surgery for inguinal hernia, hydrocele, and cord cyst. The color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) was used to assess testicular volume and blood flow before and after a modified Ferguson technique surgery. The pre- and postoperative testicular volume and blood flow were compared with the contralateral testes. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to statistically analyze the data arising; the Mann-Whitney U test and Friedman test were used to compare samples, and P < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.
One of the most common complications after hernia repair is postoperative and chronic pain. TAP (transverse abdominis plain) block is a recommended multimodal method of reducing postoperative pain in laparoscopic and open inguinal hernia repair. The objective of this study is to determine whether the use of a perioperative echo guided unilateral TAP block has a superior effect on postoperative pain after laparoscopic inguinal repair compared to an anterior Quadratus Lumborum Block with a long acting local anesthetic.
To evaluate the impact on the postoperative pain of the dexamethasone addition to the usual treatment with bupivacaine in the local infiltration of the surgical area in Inguinal Hernia Repair Mesh
The purpose of this study is the measurement of the evolution of the operation time during the start-up phase of robotic assisted surgery for the treatment of incisional hernia`s of 40 patients treated in Maria Middelares in laparoscopic rTARUP technique.
The purpose of this study is the measurement of the evolution of the operation time during the start-up phase of robotic-assisted surgery for the treatment of inguinal hernia`s of 50 patients treated in Maria Middelares in laparoscopic rTAPP technique.
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of prone-position computed tomography (CT) for detecting and classifying inguinal hernia relative to supine-position CT before laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Materials and Methods: Sixty-eight patients who underwent laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair of inguinal hernia were enrolled in this prospective study. Patients diagnosed with inguinal hernia by physical examination underwent abdominal CT in the supine and prone positions for preoperative assessment. The anatomy of the right and left inguinal regions was confirmed during the surgery and compared with the preoperative CT findings.
