Background Although rare, mesh migration or erosion into viscera has been reported as case report, and most of the cases involved with the urinary bladder. With the increasing use of prosthetic mesh in hernia repair, this severe complication would increase in the future; thus, we feel that it is necessary to analyze the clinical patterns of mesh erosion into the urinary bladder, and to discuss the...
Background Seroma formation is the most common postoperative complication after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Recurrence and seroma formation may be difficult to distinguish. Many adjunctive techniques with which to reduce the incidence of seroma formation after laparoscopic inguinal repair have been described in the literature; however, the evidence for using intraoperative adjunctive techniques...
Background The use of the self-gripping mesh (Progrip™) during laparoscopic inguinal hernia has been proved to be effective and eliminates the need of additional fixation. However, the deployment of the self-gripping mesh is challenging due to its adhesive property. The purpose of this study was to introduce and describe an easy self-gripping mesh deployment method in laparoscopic inguinal hernia...
Purpose Degradation of collagen has been suggested involved in the pathogenesis of inguinal hernia. In this study, we aim to evaluate circulating biomarkers of procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP), procollagen type III N-terminal propeptide (PIIINP), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2, MMP-9, copper and zinc in primary and recurrent inguinal hernia patients. Methods This study included...
Background Symptomatic perineal hernia is a rare complication after abdominoperineal resection (APR). Management of these hernias is challenging. The recurrence rate after surgical repair is high because of the difficulty of prosthetic material fixation; there is no consensus regarding the best method of repair. Methods We introduced a novel combined laparoscopic-perineal dual fixation technique...
Since abdominal wall defects pose a tough challenge to surgeons, methods to solve the problem are attractive. This case report concerns about the combined use of biological mesh and autogenous pedicled demucosalized small intestinal sheet for abdominal wall reconstruction. An 8-month follow-up revealed favorable outcome. Properties that make the method appealing include decreased infection risk, increased...
Purpose The aim of this article is to compare the outcomes of lightweight mesh and heavyweight mesh in inguinal hernia repair. Method A comprehensive literature search was undertaken to identify studies comparing the influence of lightweight and heavyweight meshes on inguinal hernia. Results The present meta-analysis pooled the effects of outcomes of a total 5,389 patients enrolled into 16 randomized...
Background and purpose Mesh-plug and Lichtenstein techniques are among the most common used inguinal hernia repair procedures. The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the recurrence and other postoperative complications between mesh-plug technique and Lichtenstein operation in inguinal hernia repair. Methods The electronic databases Embase, Pubmed, Springer and Cochrane Library were used to...
