Mar 18th, 2023 - Background: The current gold standard of treatment for giant hiatal hernias (GHHs) is laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery was performed as a less invasive procedure for paraesophageal hernias more than 25 years ago. Its viability and safety...

Mar 16th, 2023 - The management of ventral hernias (VHs) after orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) can be uniquely challenging because of immunosuppression coupled with large laparotomy size that can compromise the quality of the abdominal wall. The component separa...

Feb 23rd, 2023 - Incisional hernias (IH) constitute a complication after kidney transplant (KT). Patients may be particularly at risk because of comorbidities and immunosuppression. The study aim was to assess the incidence, risk factors, and treatment of IH in pa...

Jan 27th, 2023 - Observation of paraesophageal hernias (PEHs) may lead to emergent surgery for hernia-related complications. This study evaluated urgent or emergent repair outcomes to quantify the possible sequelae of failed conservative PEH management. The impact...

Dec 27th, 2022 - Umbilical hernias (UHs) in cirrhotic patients are common, can be quite complicated and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Leakage of ascites is a challenging entity and poses significant risks. This is a retrospective study o...

Jul 12th, 2019 - In 2014 the International Endohernia Society (IEHS) published the first international "Guidelines for laparoscopic treatment of ventral and incisional abdominal wall hernias". Guidelines reflect the currently best available evidence in diagnostics...

Feb 23rd, 2017 - Everything in medicine is connected, a principle I particularly keep in mind when I'm dealing with sports hernias (or athletic pubalgia), adductor injuries, and hip problems. I like to think of the three as a single syndrome: hip and groin issues....

Oct 7th, 2015 - Robotic surgery continues to be a hot button topic for general surgeons. But why? A growing body of research indicates that uncomplicated appendicitis can be treated successfully with antibiotics instead of surgery. Crowdsourcing may be an effecti...

Abstract and Introduction Abstract Background: Controversy exists on the use of mesh in the repair of paraesophageal hernias (PEH). This debate centers around the type of mesh used, its value in preventing recurrence, its short- and long-term comp...
