Introduction: The purpose of this study was to report the results of abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) with XCM Biologic Matrix (Synthes, West Chester, PA) in Ventral Hernia Working Group Class 3 and 4 herniorraphy.
Methods: Patients undergoing AWR with XCM were identified from a prospectively collected database. XCM was utilized in two ways: definitive reconstruction with posterior component separation (PCS) or bridged repair (BR) during complex gastrointestinal (GI) reconstruction in the
Sport Groin injuries are very common among athletes but also in sport active people, treating in part conservatively and in part by Endoscopic surgery. Making the diagnosis for selecting the right treatment it is a challenge but in some of the cases you will need both of the treatments.
There are well defined two kinds of Sport Groin Injury (SGI); the Sportsman Hernia (SH) – Posterior Wall Deficiency (PWD) and the Athletes Pubalgia (AP) – Pubic Bone Stress Injury (PBSI). The different criteria
Introduction
Ventral hernia repair (VHR) is a common procedure, which continues to challenge general surgeons due to the complexity of repair. Outcomes of VHR are attributed to multifactorial characteristics including but not limited to the patients co-morbid disease, surgical approach, and material used for closure of the defect. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes and utilization of a specific porcine dermis collagen implant (PDCI) (Permacol®) during VHR. To the best of our knowledge, th
INTRODUCTION – As the discipline of laparoscopic surgery has grown technology has been developed to facilitate the performance of minimally invasive hernia repair. The current Guidelines for laparoscopic (TAPP) and Endoscopic (TEP) treatment of inguinal hernia [International Endohernia Society (IEHS)] published in 2011 draw important conclusions about many points of interest in the management of laparoscopic hernia repair. Since the development of robotic inguinal hernia is recent, it is not sur
INTRODUCTION: Although several benefits had been described in laparoscopic surgery, hernia formation at trocar and specimen retrieving sites is not uncommon. Mini-invasive approach to treat this complication may reduce postoperative morbidity. However, there is lack of evidence concerning laparoscopic repair of incisional hernia after laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCRS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and the results of laparoscopic incisional hernia repair after laparo
