Laparoscopic Totally Extraperitoneal Preperitoneal (tepp) Inguinal Hernia Repair Using Fetal Bovine Dermal Tissue (surgimend).
Laparoscopic preperitoneal hernia repair is a viable option for the repair of initial and recurrent inguinal hernias. It is particularly appealing for the treatment of recurrent or bilateral inguinal hernias. Since the technique of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair was first described in 1989 by Schultz, Graber and Pietrafitta, it has undergone a number of modifications.… Continue Reading

Hiatal Mesh Is Associated with Major Resection At Revisional Operation.
Introduction: The use of mesh to potentiate the hiatal closure during laparoscopic foregut surgery is increasing among surgeons, as some consider this the standard of care. Our objective is to evaluate the incidence of mesh removal during revisional foregut surgery and to examine the complications that can arise from the use of mesh near the… Continue Reading

In Vivo Fluorescence Imaging of Staphylococcus Aureus Biologic Mesh Infection – a 30 Day Analysis
BACKGROUND: Infection in the setting of hernia repair poses a difficult challenge, and biologic mesh might perform favorably in this setting. The specific response of different biologic mesh constructs to infection is unclear. Using fluorescent-labeled bacteria and innovative in vivo imaging quantitative bacterial analysis, we evaluated the response of two biologic mesh prosthetics to staphylococcus… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Repair of Bochdalek Hernia
Bochdalek hernia develops from mal-development in the fusion of the cephalic fold of the pleuroperitoneal membrane. It was first described by Bochdalek in 1848. It is most frequently diagnosed in neonates or children, while its presence in adult is rare. Perforation or necrosis of the involved organ is a feared complication and surgical repair constitutes… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Repair of Abdominal Wall Hernias Using Fetal Bovine Dermal Tissue (surgimend).
Laparoscopic repair of abdominal wall hernias using non-absorbable permanent prosthetic materials is a well-recognized alternative to open surgery. The popularity of these techniques has increased over the years and in some institutions is performed more frequently than the open techniques. The use of these materials in the abdominal cavity in apposition to bowel has necessitated… Continue Reading

Total Extraperitoneal Inguinal (tep) Herniorrhaphy for Primary Inguinal Herna: 3-year Experience of a Minimally Invasive Fellowship Trained Surgeon
Introduction- The aim of this study is to report the outcomes following TEP repair for primary unilateral inguinal hernias, performed by a single surgeon (ME) with minimally invasive surgical fellowship training. TEP repair for unilateral primary inguinal hernia remains a topic of discussion. Reported higher rates of recurrence are likely due to cases done while… Continue Reading

Comparative Patient Reported Outcomes in Laparoscopic Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh Repair for Ventral Hernia with or Without Defect Closure – A 9-year Follow Up Case Controlled Study
Objective of StudyIntra-peritoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) is the gold standard technique of laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR), a ‘standard of care’ day care procedure. We have reported vest over pant closure of defect (VOPCOD) preceding IPOM in LVHR raising debate of anatomical restoration for functional compliance versus compromise with the ‘tension free repair’ principle. Hence… Continue Reading

Ganglioneuroma of the Adrenal Gland and Retroperitoneum. A Report of Unusual Case and Review of the Literature
Ganglioneuroma of the Adrenal Gland and Retroperitoneum. A Report of an Unusual Case and Review of the Literature Introduction: Ganglioneuromas, benign tumors of sympathetic nervous system are rare to arise in adrenal gland. They are usually asymptomatic and hormonally silent. Majority of cases are detected incidentally during work up for other unrelated conditions. Currently histopathologic… Continue Reading

Thermal Tissue Fusion: Interaction of Control Parameters and Tissue Effects
Objective: The constraints imposed by the minimal access surgical approach have driven the need for enabling technologies for vessel occlusion and tissue welding. The objective of this study is to determine the values of, and interaction between, temperature, apposition force and clamp time for optimum tissue welding.Methods: A dedicated experimental step up including a specially… Continue Reading

Thoracoscopic Sympathetic Nerve Blocking Under Local Anesthesia with Mac: 114 Cases Report
?Abstract?Objective: Depending on the large sample, the advantage and disadvantage of the operation of one stage bilateral thoracoscopic sympathetic blocking (OSBTSB) under local infiltration anesthesia and spontaneous breathing with monitored anesthesia care (MAC) were studied. Methods: Two hundred and five patients of hyperhidrosis or facial blushing were involved in this retrospective study. The methods of… Continue Reading

Cholecystectomy By Microlaparotomy-As the Precursor of Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery- Comparing to Standard Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (in Honour of Two Hungarian Surgeons)
It is less known that at the beginning of laparoscopic era, two Hungarian surgeons, G. Jako and I. Rozsos, developed a new minimally invasive method for the removal of the gallbladder performed through the abdominal wall, using a similarly small 2.5-3 cm incision as that of the transumbilical single incision laparoscopic procedure. The technique called… Continue Reading

Downregulation of Leptin and Resistin Expression in Blood Following Bariatric Surgery
Introduction: Morbidly obese patients are at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). Interestingly, T2D resolves rapidly after bariatric surgery, even before substantial weight is lost. However, the underlying molecular pathways by which T2D resolves after bariatric surgery remain unclear. Previous microarray data has shown the genes for leptin and resistin are differentially expressed… Continue Reading

Creation of a Sleeve Gastrectomy Mouse Model: a New Tool in the Evaluation of the Beta Cell Proliferation and Glucose Tolerance Effects of Bariatric Surgery
Evaluation of the Beta Cell Proliferation and Glucose Tolerance Effects of Bariatric Surgery Abstract Introduction: The recent discovery of enhanced glucose tolerance following bariatric surgery has sparked renewed interest in investigation of unchartered underlying pathways of glucose homeostasis. It is hoped that delineation of the active pathway effected by bariatric surgery may be the first… Continue Reading

Collagen Type I/III Ratio in the Supporting Ligaments of the Gastroesophageal Junction in Patients with Paraesophageal Hernias
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the biologic environment of the esophageal hiatus through analysis of the collagen content within the gastrohepatic ligament (GHL), gastrophrenic ligament (GPL), and phrenoesophageal ligament (PEL) in patients with Type III paraesophageal hernias (PEH). Methods: A control group (N=10) with achalasia and patients (N=10) with Type III… Continue Reading

Day to Day Discrepancy in Bravo Capsule Ph Monitoring: The Impact of Manometric Placement and Status of Lower Esophageal Sphincter
Introduction: The wireless esophageal pH monitoring (Bravo Capsule) is better tolerated and allows longer period of recording (2 days or more) in patients evaluated for gastroesophageal reflux disease. The use of this system may result in day to day discrepancy in measurement of distal esophageal acid exposure. This variation is thought to be due to… Continue Reading
