Preperitoneal prosthetic herniorrhaphy.

Correspondence limiting screening to women over 35 years, but as there has not been an overwhelming demand for the interpretation of smears these days are past. Incidentally in our area, where the incidence of cervical cancer is falling,' there have been no fewer than five women with overt clinical cervical cancer in the past two years who were multiparous and under 30 years of age.-I am, etc.,...

Laparoscopic prosthetic reinforcement of hiatal herniorrhaphy.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Primary repair of a large hiatal hernia is associated with a published recurrence rate of up to 10%; anecdotal rates even higher than this have been reported to the authors. The use of prosthetic material in the repair of other abdominal wall defects has often produced better results than primary repair. We wanted to compare laparoscopic primary repair of large hiatus hernias wi...

Transperitoneal Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy After Prosthetic Mesh Herniorrhaphy

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We report our institutional experience performing transperitoneal robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) in patients with prior prosthetic mesh herniorrhaphy to assess the feasibility of this procedure in this patient population. METHODS From October 2005 to January 2008, transperitoneal robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomies were performed and pro...
