Background: The aim of this study was to compare the recurrence rate between slit mesh and non-slit Prolene mesh in laparoscopic totally extra peritoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair.
Materials and methods: Ninety-five patients were diagnosed with inguinal hernia in our institute, they underwent laparoscopic TEP inguinal hernia repair were retrospectively reviewed. The characteristic of patient included demographic data, length of stay, follow-up time and recurrence symptoms were reviewed and i
Introduction: Several laparoscopic treatment techniques have developed over the last two decades, designed for improving the outcome. The various techniques differ in their approach to the inguinal internal ring, suturing and knotting techniques, number of ports used in the procedures, endoscopic instruments used, and mode of dissection of the hernia sac, extracorporeal and intracorporeal suturing and knotting techniques.
Patients and Surgical Technique: From April 2009 to April 2013, 90 childr
Introduction:
The incidence of Port Site Hernia(PSH) after Single Site Laparoscopic cholecystectomy(SSLC) and Single Site Robotic Cholecystectomy(SSRC) is known to be higher than for standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy. There is limited data regarding both the incidence of PSH following SSLC versus SSRC and the risk factors that can increase the risk of this complication.
Methods and Procedure:
All patients from 6/26/2009 to 5/19/2010 at a single academic hospital undergoing SSLC were retr
Objective:
Laparoscopic repair of an umbilical hernia provides a quality repair with demonstrated benefits. Patients on occasion are dissatisfied however with the immediate post operative results as the umbilicus is still protruding as a result of a seroma or skin laxity. This is not a problem for an open repair as one has the ability to suture the umbilical stalk to the fascia or underlying mesh. This is not feasible using laparoscopy. We propose an undescribed method of securing the umbilical
Introduction:
The repair of large incisional hernias is a daunting problem for a surgeon to face. Component separation with placement of a retro-rectus underlay mesh has been an important method allowing one to close the fascia tension free while also having underlay mesh reinforcement. This study reviews the data of one surgeon at a single institution from 2010 to 2014. The purpose of this review is to assess the successes and failures of an anterior component separation over a 4 year period.
