Filter by:Fascial closure was not originally a routine component of minimally invasive parastomal hernia repairs, but several recent advancements have made fascial closure more common in this context. These include barbed self-locking sutures that aid intracorporeal fascial closure under tension, and wristed instrumentation offered by the robotic platform when available. The investigator aims to characterize the clinical significance of closing the fascia adjacent to the stoma during a MIS parastomal hernia repair. The investigator hypothesizes that fascial closure will not have a significant impact on postoperative stoma specific quality of life but will reduce long-term recurrence.
Short Title: PHARAOH study: LAPAROSCOPIC PARASTOMAL HERNIA REPAIR WITH A NO HOLE MESH. Objectives: Evaluation of operative complications, colostomy function, Quality of Life and recurrence rate after laparoscopic repair of parastomal hernias in end-colostomies with a ParietexTM Parastomal No Hole mesh. Principle Investigators: Prof. Dr. Frederik Berrevoet, University Hospital Ghent Dr. Filip Muysoms, AZ Maria Middelares Ghent Patient selection: Adult consecutive patients, men or women, aged above 18, planned for primary elective laparoscopic hernia repair of an end-colostomy. A logbook will be kept of adult patients undergoing a parastomal hernia repair in the participating centers during the study period that are not entered in the study, including the reason for non inclusion. A total of 100 patients will be included during 24 months or until the sample size has been reached. Exclusion criteria: previous repair of a parastomal hernia at the same site, emergency operations, open parastomal hernia repair, parastomal hernias at an ileostomy or an ileal conduit stoma, loop colostomies, patients under the age of 18 years, pregnant women, ASA score 4 or more, no informed consent of the patient, patients unable to complete the stoma Quality of Life assessment. Primary Endpoint: Evolution of Quality of Life with the Stoma-QoL score assessment of patients: preoperatively, at 1 month, 12 months and 24 months postoperatively. Secondary Endpoints: Quality of Life of the patients with the EuraHS QoL score: preoperatively, at 1 month, 12 months and 24 month postoperatively. Recurrence rate at 12 and at 24 months postoperatively evaluated by clinical examination and if available computer tomography. Intra-operative and post-operative complications, post-operative hospital stay, operation time.
To investigate the effect of tamsulosin on the development of post-operative urinary retention (PUR) after elective laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR). This will be accomplished by administering a pre-operative dose of tamsulosin. The primary outcome is the rate of urinary retention necessitating straight catheterization or insertion of foley catheter prior to discharge.
Interventional, prospective, multicenter, post-marketing clinical follow-up study. After midline laparotomy, the probability to develop an incisional hernia ranges from 10% to 50% depending on the complexity of the surgery and patient state of health. As the clinical data needed for the study corresponds with those collected by Club Hernie registry, the clinical study will use the established registry database to collect performance and safety data on the prevention of incisional hernias within 24 months post operatively.
Ventral hernia repair may be associated with significant postoperative pain. Pain is typically managed with intravenous (IV) and oral medications that come with their own risks, such as nausea, constipation, sedation, respiratory depression, increased bleeding, and/or kidney or liver dysfunction. The quadratus lumborum peripheral nerve block has been shown to produce anesthesia of the anterior abdominal wall in the T7 to L1 distribution. This study aims to evaluate if the addition of the quadratus lumborum peripheral nerve block (QLB) can improve pain scores, decrease the need for IV and oral pain medications, and/or speed the patients' return to normal activity.
Prestoma Trial is designed to compare the safety and efficiency of three different meshes and techniques to prevent parastomal hernia after laparoscopic or robotic-assisted abdominoperineal resection for rectal adenocarcinoma.
In laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, an abundance of methods has been developed to fix the mesh to the abdominal wall, including sutures (non-absorbable or absorbable), staples (non-absorbable or absorbable), clips, tacks (non-absorbable or absorbable) and (fibrin and synthetic) glues. Which fixation technique is superior, is still under evaluation. There is clearly a need for larger trials to obtain confident results on the safety and performance of glue mesh fixation and tack mesh fixation in LVHR. The hypothesis of this prospective, randomized controlled study is that post-operative pain at 4 to 6 weeks after mesh fixation with glue (LiquiBand® Fix 8™) will not differ compared to treatment with absorbable tacks during LVHR. A total of 510 patients will be recruited for this trial. This study will assess: pain, hernia recurrence, safety, procedural characteristics, technical success, analgesic intake, period to return to normal activity and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to assess the incidence of hernia recurrence with the use of biologic and prosthetic mesh in ventral hernia repair.
