Filter by:The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Fortiva Porcine Dermis versus Strattice Reconstructive Tissue Matrix for the underlay reinforcement of complex ventral hernia repair and assess post-operative complication rates, long term hernia recurrence rates.
This study aim to assess long-term results of an incisional hernia-prophylactic mesh placement during stoma reversal after total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of three different treatment methods which consists spinal decompression, deep friction massage and exercise. The patients were separated three groups Group one received non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, group two received non-surgical spinal decompression, lumbar stabilization exercises and manual therapy, group three received manual therapy and lumbar stabilization exercises. All groups completed 15 sessions of therapy. In each session, pain severity was assessed with numeric analog scale, straight leg raise test applied and the degree of the hip flexion where the patient reported pain were recorded, respectively. Static, dynamic muscle strength-endurance tests were applied before the treatment sessions started, after the treatment sessions ended, six weeks after and three months after the study. Oswestry Disability Scale (ODI), Back Performance Scale (BPS), Lanss Neuropathic pain Questionnaire, Fear-Avoidance-Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ) and McGill Pain Questionnaire were applied before the treatment sessions started, after the treatment sessions ended and three months after the study. Gradient of disc height and thickness of the herniation were assessed segmentally with magnetic resonance imagination (MRI) before the study and three months after the study.
The investigators will examine if pregnancy increases risk of ventral hernia recurrence
The effectiveness of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair still remains unclear. During a one year period a total of 1208 inguinal hernias in 952 patients were consecutively operated using the laparoscopic technique by a total of 11 general surgeons in daily clinical routine. Laparoscopic hernia repair in the TAPP technique seems to have the potential to become the standard procedure in inguinal hernia repair in future.
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing dexmedetomidine sedation with caudal anaesthesia, and general sevoflurane anaesthesia with caudal anaesthesia for inguinal herniotomies in neonates and infants below 3 months of age. The investigators will compare the efficacy and adverse events associated with each of these techniques and neurodevelopmental outcomes of the infants in each group at 6 months and 2 years of age.
This prospective double-blinded clinical trial is intended to compare three nerve stimulator- guided paravertebral block injections versus five injections for elderly patients undergoing hernia repair regarding intraoperative hemodynamic stability and postoperative pain.
Research suggests that the type of anesthesia used for surgery may affect intraoperative stress hormone levels. There is also data to support that an increased level of stress hormones leads to increased pain after surgery. The primary aim of this study is to determine the effect of anesthesia type on long term pain after hernia surgery. In this study, patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair will be randomized to an anesthetic group, either Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) maintained with propofol or Balanced Inhaled Anesthesia (BIA) maintained with sevoflurane. This will allow us to look at any differences in short and long-term pain after hernia repair depending on type of anesthesia received.
Investigation of a bilateral inguinal hernia repair using one large self-fixating mesh covering both groins. Health outcomes are assessed using different questionaires with focus on urinary symptoms (with ICIQ-MLUTS score), the recurrence rate, postoperative pain measurement, and Quality of Life assessment with EuraHS-QoL and chronic pain monitoring for 12 months.
Observational longitudinal study in children operated at birth on diaphragmatic hernia and/or oesophageal atresia : assessment of lung function parameters; assessment of quality of life and cognitive development; assessment of stress parenting and strategies of adaptation.
