BACKGROUND
Research in hernia repair has targeted new atraumatic mesh fixation to reduce major complications such as chronic pain and adhesion formation. The efficacy and safety of two surgical adhesives, viz. Artiss® (FS, fibrin sealant containing 4 IU thrombin) and Bioglue® (AGG, bovine serum
OBJECTIVE
We sought to investigate effects of intratracheal albumin injection prior to tracheal occlusion (TO) on lung proliferation in fetal rats with nitrofen-induced congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
METHODS
On embryonic day 19, nitrofen-exposed fetuses underwent TO, TO and 50 microL of either
CSF and serum albumin, immunoglobulin (Ig) G, IgA and IgM were measured in 100 patients with intracranial tumors, 79 with lumbar disc herniation and 68 free of neurologic diseases. Increases in one or more of the CSF Igs were observed in 46% of the patients with lumbar disc herniation and in 77% of
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to identify potential parameters as predictors for seroma formation after incisional hernia mesh repair.
METHODS
The incidence of postoperative seroma was determined prospectively in 37 patients who underwent incisional hernia repair with lightweight
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the predictive effect of IMA in incarcerated hernias.
METHODS
Three groups (n = 7) of rats were operated. Group I aimed to mimic incarceration, group II aimed the strangulation, and group III was the sham group. IMA and LDH measurements were made.
RESULTS
IMA levels were
BACKGROUND
Though the occurrence of postoperative seroma after incisional hernia repair using mesh reinforcement is very common, little is known about the genesis of seroma formation. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of drainage liquid as a potential predictor for the
A total of 23 consecutive patients operated upon on emergency basis for the treatment of complicated umbilical hernias associated with liver cirrhosis and ascites. The hernia was complicated by strangulation in 11 and ascitic fluid leak in twelve of the patients. Patients were assigned randomly in
BACKGROUND
Patients with a paraesophageal hernia may experience gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and/or obstructive symptoms such as dysphagia. Some patients with large and complex paraesophageal hernias unintentionally lose a significant amount of weight secondary to difficulty eating. A subset of
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the overall rate and risk factors for the development of an incisional hernia and a parastomal hernia after colorectal surgery.
METHODS
The study cohort consisted of 795 consecutive patients who underwent open colorectal surgery between 2005 and
The natural history of development of Parastomal hernia (PH) following cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to systematically review the frequency and risk factors of PH following ileal conduit diversion.
A systematic review of literature was
OBJECTIVE
Advances in management of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) have improved mortality rates but with a risk of increased pulmonary morbidity. The prognosis for CDH survivors remains difficult to predict owing to the lack of adequate methods. We used single photon emission
BACKGROUND
Patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) show a high risk of developing an incisional hernia. The aim of this retrospective study was to establish the incidence and the factors influencing the outcomes of this complication.
METHODS
We reviewed 450 consecutive OLT
OBJECTIVE
Incisional hernias can occur after any abdominal operation, including after renal transplant. Several risk factors have been identified in nonimmunosuppressed surgical patients. We aimed to identify whether specific risk factors correlated with the development of incisional hernias after
Background: The injection of tissue adhesives has been proposed as an alternative to standard laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair but no evidence is available in the pediatric population. This study aimed to evaluate safety, efficacy, and feasibility of injection of tissue adhesives for
Patients with sciatica caused by lumbar disc herniation were studied to identify biochemical changes in the cerebrospinal fluid related to myelographic findings and clinical observations. One hundred forty-three patients were evaluated by myelography with regard to involvement of the dural sac and
