Background One standard repair technique for groin hernias does not exist. The objective of this study is to perform an update meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis to investigate if there is a difference in terms of recurrence between laparoscopic and open primary unilateral uncomplicated inguinal hernia repair. Methods The reporting methodology conforms to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items...
Introduction Although many surgeons have adopted the use of biologic and biosynthetic meshes in complex abdominal wall hernia repair, others have questioned the use of these products. Criticism is addressed in several review articles on the poor standard of studies reporting on the use of biologic meshes for different abdominal wall repairs. The aim of this consensus review is to conduct an evidence-based...
Background Seroma formation remains a common complication after an incisional hernia repair. The use of surgical drains is widespread, but evidence for their use and other adjuncts is limited. Our aim was to perform a systematic review of the literature on techniques used to reduce the incidence of post-operative seroma formation. Methods A systematic search of PubMed and Embase databases was conducted...
Aim To systematically review the available literature regarding methods for abdominal wall expansion and compare the outcome of primary fascial closure rates. Methods A systematic search of Pubmed and Embase databases was conducted using the search terms “Abdominal wall hernia”, “ventral hernia”, “midline hernia”, “Botulinum toxin”, “botox”, “dysport”, “progressive preoperative pneumoperitoneum”,...
Purpose The optimal technique and mesh type for parastomal hernia repair have yet to be ascertained. Biologic meshes have been advocated in parastomal hernia repair due to purported resistance to infection in contaminated fields. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of additionally cross-linked acellular porcine dermal collagen mesh (Permacol™) for onlay parastomal hernia repair...
Objective To evaluate the safety, efficacy and durability of selective integration of porcine dermal collagen (Permacol™) biologic mesh for crural re-construction in large or complex para-oesophageal hernia surgery. Background Surgical repair of para-oesophageal herniation has been associated with high rates of failure. The utilisation of prosthetic mesh is controversial with complications including...
Purpose Biologic meshes are increasingly used in parastomal hernia repair. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of diisocyanate cross-linked acellular porcine dermal collagen mesh for parastomal hernia repair, with particular reference to the relationship of the stoma site to the rectus sheath. Methods Hernias were repaired via a lateral approach, with onlay placement of the biologic mesh...
