BACKGROUND Endoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernioplasty (TEP) has become an established treatment for the repair of inguinal hernia but its application as an outpatient procedure has not been widely adopted. The present study was undertaken to audit the outcomes of outpatient

BACKGROUND The Desarda repair technique of inguinal hernia repair introduced in 2001 is still not considered standard tissue based hernia repair technique. We compared the tissue based Desarda technique with standard Lichtenstein repair in treatment of primary inguinal hernia. METHODS 187 cases were

UNASSIGNED Ventral hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed general surgery procedures, and minimally invasive approaches are increasingly preferred. The physiologic repair offered by the preperitoneal approach is favorable, with reduced complications, but it remains a technical

BACKGROUND Traditional inguinal lymphadenectomy includes the removal of a portion of the saphenous vein. The authors hypothesized that preserving the saphenous vein would decrease morbidity without affecting treatment outcome. METHODS A retrospective review of 83 patients with carcinoma of the vulva

BACKGROUND This study reviewed our experience with laparoscopic ventral postoperative (incisional) hernia repair. METHODS Clinical data from the first 100 cases were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Between 1997 and 2000, 64 women and 36 men (mean age, 58.4 +/- 13.6 years; range, 27-87 years)

During an 18 month period, five patients of all those being investigated by computed tomography (CT) for suspected abscess were found to have localized peripelvic extraabdominal fluid collections. In three, this was due to primary abscess or pyarthrosis and to probable secondary infection of a

OBJECTIVE This work was set out to investigate the effect of saphenous vein preservation during inguinal lymphadenectomy for patients with vulval malignancies. METHODS 64 patients with vulval malignancies were allocated into two groups depending on their clinical stages, with one of them (31

Objective: To compare the effects between hybrid surgery and transabdominal preperitoneal surgery in treatment of irreducible inguinal hernia. Methods: A total of 60 patients who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair between June 2011 and December 2017 were included in the

BACKGROUND Perigraft hygromas or seromas are an unusual finding and/or complication after open aortic repair. RESULTS We present a case of an 82-year-old man with a previous urgent aortic bifurcated graft for abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture. He received several treatments due to abdominal

To evaluate the current use, of and opinion regarding the use of closed suction drains in orthopaedic practice, a literature review and two surveys have been conducted. Recent literature suggests that there is no difference in terms of wound healing, post-operative pyrexia, range of motion, seroma
