One cause of groin pain in highly active patients may be a core muscle injury, commonly referred to as sports hernia. When patients fail nonoperative management, there are a number of surgical options that may be pursued. Typically, they will involve the direct repair of the rectus abdominis back to the pubis. However, we believe that this repair can be further strengthened by the appropriate lengthening of the adductor longus from the conjoined tendon. Therefore, we present a surgical technique ...[more]

Project description:IntroductionSpigelian hernias represent only 1% to 2% of all abdominal wall hernias. The treatment, however, remains controversial but depends on institutional expertise. This case series reports the first experience with single-incision laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (SILTEP) repair of Spigelian hernias with telescopic extraperitoneal dissection in combination with inguinal hernia repair.MethodsFrom February 2013 to April 2014, all patients referred with inguinal or Spigelian hernias, without histories of extraperitoneal intervention, underwent SILTEP repair with telescopic extraperitoneal dissection. A single-port device, 5.5 mm/52 cm/30° angled laparoscope, and conventional straight dissecting instruments were used for all cases. Extraperitoneal dissection was performed under direct vision with preservation of preperitoneal fascia overlying retroperitoneal nerves. Inguinal herniorrhaphy was performed with lightweight mesh that covered low-lying Spigelian defects. High-lying Spigelian defects were repaired with additional mesh.ResultsThere were 131 patients with 186 (92 direct) inguinal hernias and 7 patients with 8 Spigelian hernias (6 incidental, including 1 bilateral and 2 preoperatively diagnosed), with a mean age of 51.3 years and a mean body mass index of 25.1 kg/m(2). An additional piece of mesh was used for 3 hernias. All Spigelian hernias were associated with direct inguinal hernias, and 8 combined inguinal and Spigelian hernias were successfully repaired with SILTEP repair with telescopic extraperitoneal dissection as day cases. There were no clinical recurrences during a mean follow-up period of 6 months (range, 1-15 months).ConclusionsCombined Spigelian and inguinal hernias can be successfully treated with SILTEP herniorrhaphy with telescopic extraperitoneal dissection. The high incidence of Spigelian hernias associated with direct inguinal hernias suggests a high index of suspicion for Spigelian hernias during laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the outcomes and safety of a minimally invasive technique for sutured IOL scleral fixation in case of compromised capsular and iris support.Materials and methodsIn this retrospective study, we explain our mini-invasive technique and assess the outcomes in terms of visual acuity, pre- or postoperative complications, and IOL position (Sensar AR40e, AMO) in a case series of three patients.ResultsThe expected best corrected visual acuity could be achieved after one month. Surgeries were uneventful with a stable eye. No postoperative complications occurred except for one patient who had a conjunctival disinsertion. Neither postoperative hypotony nor raised IOP was found. Additionally, no patient experienced corneal edema at one week control, IOL dislocation, vitreous hemorrhage, or new pupil's irregularity.ConclusionsIn conclusion, each scleral technique has its own advantages and its inherent postoperative complications. To date, there is no evidence of superiority of any single technique. By improving our scleral sutured lens techniques, we could improve peroperative ocular stability, potentially decrease postoperative complication rate, and offer a rapid recovery with a stable visual acuity within a month.

Project description:ObjectiveTo describe national trends in surgical technique and rates of reoperation for recurrence for patients undergoing ventral hernia repair (VHR) in the United States.BackgroundSurgical options for VHR, including minimally invasive approaches, mesh implantation, and myofascial release, have expanded considerably over the past 2 decades. Their dissemination and impact on population-level outcomes is not well characterized.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of Medicare beneficiaries undergoing elective, inpatient umbilical, ventral, or incisional hernia repair between 2007 and 2015. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the adjusted proportion of patients who remained free from reoperation for hernia recurrence up to 5 years after surgery.ResultsOne hundred fort-one thousand two hundred sixty-one patients underwent VHR during the study period. Between 2007 and 2018, the use of minimally invasive surgery increased from 2.1% to 22.2%, mesh use increased from 63.2% to 72.5%, and myofascial release increased from 1.8% to 16.3%. Overall, the 5-year incidence of reoperation for recurrence was 14.1% [95% confidence interval (CI) 14.0%-14.1%]. Over time, patients were more likely to remain free from reoperation for hernia recurrence 5 years after surgery [2007-2009 reoperation-free survival: 84.9% (95% CI 84.8%-84.9%); 2010-2012 reoperation-free survival: 85.7% (95% CI 85.6%-85.7%); 2013-2015 reoperation-free survival: 87.8% (95% CI 87.7%-87.9%)].ConclusionsThe surgical treatment of ventral and incisional hernias has evolved in recent decades, with more patients undergoing minimally invasive repair, receiving mesh, and undergoing myofascial release. Although our analysis does not address causality, rates of reoperation for hernia recurrence improved slightly contemporaneous with changes in surgical technique.

Project description:Authors present a modified surgical technique for canaloplasty without preparing the classical trabeculo-Descemet's membrane (TDM) and having to close sutures. Twelve patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) (aged 58-77 years) received the modified technique, which does not require the deep scleral flap to be excised, an intrascleral lake to be created, or TDM dissection. After accessing the Schlemm's canal (SC), cannulation and placement of the sutures are made similar to those in the classical canaloplasty. The conjunctiva is closed via bipolar diathermy. The mean intraocular pressure (IOP) before surgery was 18.0 ± 8 mmHg, and the mean number of anti-glaucoma medications taken was 3 ± 1. Mean IOP at the end of the observation period (18.0 ± 6.0 months) was reduced by 23% (15.5 ± 4.1 mmHg), while the mean number of medications taken was reduced to 0.25 ± 1.0. In all eyes, the SC was successively opened, with no cheese-wiring. Adverse events included microhyphaema, mild corneal oedema, and folds in the TDM. The eyes recovered spontaneously within a few days after the procedure. The mini-canaloplasty technique may reduce the risk of complications associated with classical canaloplasty while effectively lowering the IOP in patients with OAG.

Project description:Anterior shoulder dislocations commonly occur in the young, athletic population. The mechanism of dislocation occurs when the shoulder is placed in an abducted, externally rotated position while a forceful anterior moment is applied to the humerus. This position, combined with the force applied, results in an anterior and inferiorly directed dislocation of the humeral head away from the glenoid. Due to the limited stretching capacity of the glenohumeral capsule and associated glenohumeral ligaments, the force of the traumatic dislocation overcomes the tensile strength of these ligaments, resulting in a tear. Although the injury more commonly results in an avulsion of the anteroinferior capsulolabral complex from the glenoid, called a Bankart lesion, other injuries have been described. The anterior inferior glenohumeral ligaments (aIGHLs), may be torn from their humeral attachment, which is referred to as a humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL). Although other structures may be injured, the topic of this surgical technique focuses on a mini-open approach for repair of the HAGL lesion.

Project description:PurposePrevious studies have shown a higher recurrence rate and longer operative times for thoracoscopic repair (TR) of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) compared to open repair (OR). An updated meta-analysis was conducted to re-evaluate the surgical outcomes of TR.MethodsA comprehensive literature search comparing TR and OR in neonates was performed in accordance with the PRISMA statement (PROSPERO: CRD42020166588).ResultsFourteen studies were selected for quantitative analysis, including a total of 709 patients (TR: 308 cases, OR: 401 cases). The recurrence rate was higher [Odds ratio: 4.03, 95% CI (2.21, 7.36), p < 0.001] and operative times (minutes) were longer [Mean Difference (MD): 43.96, 95% CI (24.70, 63.22), p < 0.001] for TR compared to OR. A significant reduction in the occurrence of postoperative bowel obstruction was observed in TR (5.0%) compared to OR (14.8%) [Odds ratio: 0.42, 95% CI (0.20, 0.89), p = 0.02].ConclusionsTR remains associated with higher recurrence rates and longer operative times. However, the reduced risk of postoperative bowel obstruction suggests potential long-term benefits. This study emphasizes the importance of meticulous patient selection for TR to mitigate detrimental effects on patients with severe disease.

Project description:BackgroundThe use of minimally invasive approaches is scarce in open aortic arch repair because of its perceived high operative risk and technical difficulty.MethodsThis study enrolled 59 consecutive patients (aged 58.2±13.2 years) undergoing elective arch replacement either through upper hemi-sternotomy (n=58) or mini-thoracotomy (n=1) between 2015 and 2020. Of these, 44 underwent hemiarch replacement and 15 underwent total arch replacement. Moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest was used for all patients while antegrade cerebral perfusion was selectively used for total arch repair. For more efficient distal aortic anastomosis in limited spaces, inverted graft anastomosis was utilized whenever possible.ResultsHemi-sternotomy involved upper sternal separation down to the second, third, and fourth intercostal spaces in 1 (1.7%), 30 (50.8%), and 27 (45.8%) patients, respectively. Concomitant cardiac procedures included root replacement in 19 patients (32.2%) and aortic valve replacement in 21 patients (35.6%). Circulatory arrest, cardiac ischemic, cardiopulmonary bypass, and total procedural times were 8.9±3.4, 91.1±31.1, 114.6±46.2, and 250.3±79.5 min, respectively for total arch repair, and 25.0±12.1, 72.3±16.6, 106.0±16.9, and 249.1±41.7 min, respectively for hemiarch repair. Conversion to full-sternotomy was required in 1 patient (1.7%) due to bleeding. There was one case of mortality (1.7%) attributable to low-cardiac output syndrome following hemiarch repair concomitantly with Bentall procedure. Major complications included requirement for mechanical support in 1 (1.7%), temporary neurologic deficit in 1 (1.7%), newly initiated dialysis in 3 (5.1%), and re-exploration due to bleeding in 2 (3.4%).ConclusionsMini-access open arch repair is technically feasible and achieved excellent early outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundNegative Pressure Therapy in closed incisions (ciNPT) after surgery has shown positive effects including reduction of Surgical Site Infection (SSI) incidence. In patients undergoing elective open incisional hernia repair, however, ciNPT is not standard care, perhaps due to high-quality evidence still not provided. This study hypothesizes that this patient group would benefit from ciNPT by reducing wound complications and improving postoperative quality of life.MethodThis is a multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) including a total of 110 patients allocated in a 1:1 ratio with one intervention arm and one active control arm receiving ciNPT (i.e., Prevena™) and standard wound dressing, respectively. The primary outcome is the incidence of SSI at 30 days postoperatively and secondary outcomes are 1) pooled incidence of Surgical Site Occurrence (SSO), 2) patient-reported pain and satisfaction with the scar, and 3) hernia-related quality of life.ConclusionPatients undergoing elective open incisional hernia repair are fragile with a high risk of wound complication development. This multicenter RCT seeks to deliver the high-quality evidence needed to establish the role ciNPT must play for exactly this group with the aim of reducing SSI incidence and health economic costs, and finally improving quality of life. There are no theoretical or clinical experience of unwanted consequences of this treatment.

Project description:PurposeSimulation training allows trainees to gain experience in a safe environment. Computer simulation and animal models to practice a Lichtenstein open inguinal hernia repair (LOIHR) are available; however, a low-cost model is not. We constructed an inexpensive model using fabric, felt, and yarn that simulates the anatomy and hazards of the LOIHR. This study examined the fidelity, and perceived usefulness of our developed simulation model by surgical residents and expert surgeons.MethodsA total of 66 Dutch surgical residents and ten international expert surgeons were included. All participants viewed a video-demonstration of LOIHR on the simulation model and subsequently performed the surgery themselves on the model. Afterward, they assessed the model by rating 13 statements concerning its fidelity (six model, three equipment, and four psychological) and six usefulness statements on a five-point Likert scale. One-sample Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare to the neutral value of 3.ResultsThe fidelity was assessed as being high by residents [model 4.00 (3.00-4.00), equipment 4.00 (3.00-4.00), psychological 4.00 (3.00-4.00); all p's < 0.001] and by expert surgeons [model 4.00 (3.00-4.00), p = 0.025; equipment 4.00 (3.00-5.00), p < 0.001; psychological 4.00 (3.00-4.00), p = 0.053]. The usefulness was rated high by residents and experts, especially the usefulness for training of residents [residents 4.00 (4.00-5.00), p < 0.001; experts 4.50 (3.75-5.00), p = 0.015].ConclusionOur developed Lichtenstein open inguinal hernia repair simulation model was assessed by surgical residents and expert surgeons as a model with high fidelity and high potential usefulness, especially for the training of surgical residents.

Project description:PurposeThe aim of the current study was to compare the outcomes between open and single-incision laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (SILTEP) inguinal hernia repair.MethodsTo compare the outcomes between the open and SILTEP groups, we performed propensity score matching to adjust for significant differences in patient characteristics. The outcomes were compared between the matched groups.ResultsRecord review identified 477 patients who had undergone inguinal hernia repair from November 2016 to November 2018. Seventy-one patients were excluded from the propensity score matching because of age <18, femoral hernia, conventional 3-port laparoscopic repair, incarcerated hernia, and combined operation. SILTEP in 142 and open repair in 264 patients were identified. After propensity score matching, these individuals were grouped into 82 pairs. Spinal anesthesia was administered more often in the open group than in the SILTEP group. Operation time was significantly longer in the SILTEP group than in the open group (49.6 ± 17.4 vs. 64.8 ± 28.4 min, p < 0.001). However, urinary retention rates of the open group were significantly higher than that of the SILTEP group (11.0% vs. 0%, p = 0.003). The SILTEP group showed significantly lower pain scores at postoperative 6, 12, and 24 hours, and significantly lower rates of intravenous analgesic requirements through postoperative day 1 (30.5% vs. 13.4%, p = 0.008) compared with the open group.ConclusionThe outcomes of SILTEP repair were comparable to those of open repair. SILTEP repair may have advantages over open repair for reducing immediate postoperative pain (≤24 hours).
