Filter by:A retrospective review of all incisional hernia repairs at North Shore Hospital (NSH), Auckland, NZ was performed between January 2004 and July 2019. Patients who had an open or laparoscopic incisional hernia repair with mesh were included in this study. Patients were retrospectively followed up from the date of their operation until the end of the study period.
Inguinal hernia repair is the most common of abdominal surgical procedures and is usually performed laparoscopically. Many factors play a role in the pain that develops after surgery and is generally considered to be visceral pain. Phrenic nerve irritation due to CO2 insufflation into the peritoneal cavity, abdominal distention, tissue trauma, sociocultural status, and individual factors are the factors that play a role in the occurrence of this pain. Modified Perichondral Approach Thoracoabdominal Nerve (M-TAPA) block performed with ultrasound (US) is a new block that provides effective analgesia in the anterior and lateral thoracoabdominal areas, where local anesthetic is applied only to the lower side of the perichondral surface. M-TAPA block is a good alternative for analgesia of the upper dermatome levels and abdominal lateral wall and may be an opioid-sparing strategy with satisfactory quality recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Oblique Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block (OSTAP) is one of the body blocks used especially for postoperative analgesia. OSTAP, defined by Hebbard in 2010, is a subcostal version of the Transversus abdominis plane block (TAP block), based on the injection of local anesthetic from the lower edge of the costal margin, obliquely between the obliquus externus and Transversus abdominis muscles. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of US-guided M-TAPA block and OSTAP block for postoperative analgesia management after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgery. Our primary aim is to compare postoperative pain scores (0. hour NRS), and our secondary aim is to evaluate the use of rescue analgesics (opioids), side effects associated with opioid use (allergic reaction, nausea, vomiting), and patient satisfaction (Likert scale).
The worldwide prevalence of neck pain is between 16.7-75.1%, it has been seen at an increasing rate in recent years due to sedentary living conditions. Pharmacological treatment, neck collar, traction, manual therapy, interventional injection techniques, surgical treatment and conventional physical therapy methods such as hotpack, ultrasound, TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), vacuum interference, exercise are applied in the treatment of neck pain. In recent years, High Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) has been used as a painless and non-invasive physical therapy agent. It received FDA approval in 2002 for HILT in the treatment of variety of musculoskeletal disorders. There are a few studies in the literature investigating the efficacy of HILT in chronic neck pain. There is only one study investigating the efficacy of HILT in cervical disc herniation. In this study, the efficacy of HILT and ultrasound-TENS in the treatment of neck pain caused by cervical disc herniation has been compared, but the results of the exercise control group and long-term follow-up were not available. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the short and long-term efficacy of HILT treatment using improvement in the pain, range of motion, activities of daily living and functionality of the cervical spine in patients with cervical disc herniation. In group 1, only exercises will be applied; in the group 2, HILT will be applied in addition to exercise; in the group 3, hotpack, TENS, ultrasound will be applied in addition to exercises.
This is a randomized control trial intending to study the clinical difference between different mesh fixation techniques in laparoscopic TAPP hernioplasty of inguinal hernia for adults with unilateral and bilateral inguinal hernia , two techniques are tissue glue and surgical tackers , the target population will be divided according to an electronic generated randomization into two groups , they will be compared according to multiple variables which includes but not limited to : procedure time, early post op complication , post-operative pain , late complications , short term and long term recurrence rates .
This is a retrospec/ve cohort study of colon cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgeries at Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The aim of this study is to determine the best site for specimen extrac/on with lowest risk of developing incisional hernia a0er laparoscopic colorectal surgeries.
Observational cohort study (partially retrospective, partially prospective) comparing the endoscopic extended totally extraperitoneal prosthesis (eTEP) repair for midline abdominal hernias to open Rives-Stoppa repair (control).
Aim of our study is to find frequency and risk factors for venous thromboembolism development in patients who underwent surgery for incisional ventral hernia. There were 240 patients enrolled in our retrospective observational cohort study. Included patients were operated for incisional hernia in Saveljev University Surgery Clinic from January 2018 to December 2019. Compression duplex ultrasound of lower legs veins was performed in 2-4 days after surgery for all participants. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of the venous thromboembolism event, including pulmonary embolism.
This work aims to study the outcomes of mesh fixation versus non-fixation of laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair as regards postoperative pain, recurrence, operative time, and other postoperative complications.
Combining the advantage of minimally invasive surgery with laparoscopy to reduce postoperative complications and the placement of a retromuscular prosthesis with closure of the defect in order to reduce the risk of adhesion and restore normal anatomy in the treatment of primary and incisional ventral hernias, is made possible through robotic assistance. The challenge of this study concerns the evaluation of quality of life, postoperative pain and recurrence at 6 months in the management of primary and incisional ventral hernias by robot-assisted laparoscopic approach.
Incisional Hernia (IH) is a common complication of abdominal surgery and causes serious morbidity to patients. IH formation is multifactorial and its risk varies from patient to patient. Risk-predictive tools have been developed to identify patients at high risk of IH before their initial operation, with high-risk patients possibly being offered the use of prophylactic mesh, placed at the end of the operation to prevent IH from forming. With controversy surrounding the use of mesh in other types of surgery, however, it is not known if mesh use is acceptable to patients. This study aims to assess how patients feel about prophylactic mesh and whether it is acceptable to them.
