Early Outcomes of Adhesix(r) Mesh Compared to a Variety of Mechanically Secured Meshes for Abdominal and Inguinal Hernias.

Y Viswanath, Mr, Kevin Etherson, Mr, Dariush Kamali, Anil Reddy, Mr. James Cook University Hospital

Introduction
Recent advances in hernia surgery are focussed towards tension free atraumatic fixation and self-adherence of the mesh. We report a single surgeon’s experience with the Adhesix ® self adherent mesh in comparison to a variety of other mechanically self-adherent & sutured meshes during 2014.

Methods
A prospective consecutive cohort database of single surgeon experience of abdominal wall mesh hernia repair during 2014. Data was extracted for any patient fulfilling the inclusion criteria: Presence of an inguinal or abdominal wall hernia clinically or on ultrasound imaging, and undergoing a mesh repair (laparoscopic- TAPP or open) during 2014. Exclusion criteria: absence of peritoneal sac at time of surgery, or repair without a mesh.

Results
66 patients (60 male, 6 female) with a median age of 53 years [SD 15] underwent 77 hernia mesh repair procedures during 2014. 58 were for inguinal hernia repairs and 19 for abdominal wall hernia repairs. 39 patients (36M, 3F, median age 54 [SD 14.8]) had repair with an Adhesix® mesh (Group A). The remaining 27 patients (24M, 3F, median age 50 [SD 14.7]) had repair with 6 different varieties of mesh for either open abdominal wall hernia or Laparoscopic incisional or inguinal hernia repairs. The Adhesix® group A, consisted of 44 hernia repairs; 3 primary trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) inguinal repairs, 38 open primary inguinal repairs, 1 primary laparoscopic ventral repair, and 2 primary open ventral repairs. Group B, consisted of 33 hernia repairs; 11 primary TAPP, 2 recurrent TAPP repairs, 4 primary open inguinal repairs, 16 other abdominal wall hernia repairs. Anaesthetic recovery time was 38 minutes [SD 15.6] in the Adhesix® group A and 38 minutes [SD 10.0] in group B (P=0.88). Duration before discharge was also similar at 8 hours versus 7 hours respectively (P=0.68). The overall incidence of short-term adverse events were similar at 8 (21%) in the Adhesix® group A, and 6 (22%) in group B. There was a significantly reduced incidence of severe post-operative pain in the Adhesix® group A (0%) versus group B (11%) [ P =0.03]. There have been no short-term recurrences in either group to date. 

Conclusions
The study demonstrates that a tension free atraumatic fixation self-adhering mesh such as Adhesix®, appears to have a  similar safety profile to a variety of other meshes with assosciated advantage in reduction of severe post-operative pain. Longer-term prospectively assessed outcomes of hernia recurrence rates & safety profiles with these new self-adhesive meshes are required

Respuesta de SAGES al Estudio NordICC sobre el beneficio de las colonoscopias de detección

SAGES desea aclarar los resultados del estudio NordICC y colocarlos en contexto de los esfuerzos de varias agencias nacionales para reducir el riesgo de cáncer colorrectal – la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer más frecuente en los Estados Unidos-, mediante la promoción de la detección y tratamiento oportuno de las lesiones.

SAGES Response to NordICC Study Regarding Benefit of Screening Colonoscopies

The NordICC Study recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine and widely reported on by media outlets has raised questions regarding the benefit of screening colonoscopy in lowering the risk of colorectal cancer and cancer-related deaths among otherwise healthy and symptom-free men and women aged 55 to 64. Provocative headlines and commentaries have […]
