incisional hernia/albumin

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

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

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

Incisional hernia (IH) is a frequent occurrence following open surgery for Crohn's disease (CD). This study compares the IH rates of patients with CD undergoing open versus laparoscopic bowel resection. Seven hundred and fifty patients with CD operated by the authors at the Mount Sinai Medical

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to compare the results of single-blind a randomized controlled trial on the use of the local hemostatic agent Haemoblock and ultrasound monitoring of postoperative wounds in patients after the large

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine whether the prophylactic use of a biologic prosthesis protects against the development of incisional hernia in a high-risk patient population. METHODS A prospective, nonrandomized trial was conducted on 134 patients undergoing open Roux-en-Y

OBJECTIVE To evaluate a cohort of gynecologic oncology patients to discover risk factors for early- and late-occurring incisional hernia after midline incision for ovarian cancer. METHODS We collected retrospective data from patients undergoing primary laparotomy for ovarian cancer at the University

BACKGROUND The acute inflammatory response following mesh implantation has been often evaluated in vitro and in animal models. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute inflammatory response near the prosthesis in human by analysing some inflammatory indicators. METHODS We used a cohort of

OBJECTIVE To confirm the incidence and risk factors of incisional hernia after colorectal cancer surgery, we analyzed the clinical data including the surveillance computed tomography (CT) examination. METHODS One hundred sixty seven patients with open abdominal surgery for colorectal cancer were

BACKGROUND Necrotizing pancreatitis (NP) patients frequently require pancreatic debridement, and have risk factors for incisional hernia (IH). However, no published data exist regarding the incidence of IH in NP. The aim of the current study was to define the incidence of and identify risk factors

OBJECTIVE An incisional hernia seriously burdens the quality of life after liver transplant. The incidence of incisional hernia after liver transplant is reported to be 4% to 20%. Here, we evaluated incisional hernias that occurred after adult liver transplant and incisional hernias intentionally

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to identify predictive factors for postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs), and increased length of hospital stay (LOS) after ventral/incisional hernia repair (VIHR) using multi-center, prospectively collected data. METHODS Cases of VIHR from 2009 to

BACKGROUND Ventral incisional hernias (VIH) develop in up to 20% of patients after abdominal surgery. No widely applicable preoperative risk-assessment tool exists. We aimed to develop and validate a risk-assessment tool to predict VIH after abdominal surgery. METHODS A prospective study of all

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the incidence and factors associated with the development of incisional hernia (IH) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) undergoing open bowel resections. BACKGROUND Predisposing factors for IH have not been well studied in patients with
