Incisional Hernia (IH) is one of the most frequent postoperative complications in abdominal surgery causing significant morbidity and even mortality. The risk of developing an IH following primary elective midline laparotomy is reported to be between 5 and 20 percent. Risk factors for developing IH
Obesity, defined as body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight (kg)/ [height (m)] 2) of 30 or greater, is a common medical comorbidity of pregnancy affecting one third of reproductive-aged women. Maternal obesity is also a well-recognized risk factor for dysfunctional labor and cesarean delivery

Repair with mesh-reinforcement is considered standard for the
Trocar site hernias have been considered as an underestimated problem by some surgeons. It's incidence varies in the literature between studies, which may be related to an insufficient diagnosis due to poor clinical manifestation and / or the lack of long-term follow-up of patients in some
Recent estimates approximate that 120,000 ostomies are created yearly, with an overall prevalence greater than 800,000. Parastomal hernia formation is the most common complication thereof, as most reviews acknowledge a rate of 50%, which increases to 75% for patients with a waist circumference
All adult (≥18 yrs) patients registered in the Danish Hernia Database (DHB) who underwent elective primary laparoscopic incisional hernia repair between January 1st 2010 and December 31st 2016.
To obtain 100% follow-up data from DHB will be combined with administrative data from the Danish National
Hypothesis The preventive use of single-use PICO dressing reduces the complications of the surgical wound (infection and dehiscence of the surgical wound) in patients after large incisional hernia repair.
Objectives
Primary:
To determine the efficacy on decreasing the rate of surgical wound
RESEARCH PROJECT OBJECTIVES The aim of the presented scientific project is to establish the factors, with special reference to the type of surgical technique, tissue accumulation of advanced glycation end products, and collagen content in transversalis fascia, associated with development of
Trial Design:
This trial is designed as a 1:1 randomized, controlled, patient and assessor-blinded, parallel design, superiority trial, with a primary endpoint of incisional hernia at one year.
Study Settings:
The investigators will conduct the study at the American University of Beirut Medical
Despite all efforts to optimize the transplantation of deceased donor kidneys, the number of available kidneys continues to fall short of demand. Living donor kidneys have been used to overcome this organ shortage. Graft and patient survival is significantly higher following living donor kidney
The prevalence of morbid obesity in Canada has risen almost 5 fold in the past three decades. Surgery remains the cornerstone of treatment of obesity and related comorbidities such as type-2 diabetes. Bariatric/metabolic procedures can be classified into 2 main categories: a) those that cause
