Laparoscopic Mesh Stapler
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) ventral hernia repair is performed by covering the hernia defect with a sheet of prosthetic mesh, which requires fixation with a combination of staples and anchoring sutures. There are two major issues with this technique: (1) sometimes some of the staples need to be removed in order to adjust the mesh position prior to final fixation; and (2) anchoring sutures are a source of chronic abdominal wall pain. The proposed device addresses these two issues by employing two types of staples (denoted here as spikes), temporary or permanent; the former spike can be removed easily so that the mesh position can be adjusted, and the latter spike has an anchoring ability which should make anchoring sutures unnecessary.

Laparoscopic Mesh Fixation Using Laser-Assisted Tissue Soldering in a Porcine Model
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Animal studies using open surgical models indicate that collagen solder is capable of fixation of surgical meshes without interfering with tissue integration, increasing adhesions, or increasing inflammation intraperitoneally. This study describes development of instrumentation and techniques for laparoscopic herniorrhaphy using laser-assisted soldering technology. ST...
متن کاملAnastomosis Procedure through an Inguinal Hernia Incision in Simultaneous Laparoscopic Anterior Resection and Inguinal Hernia Repair
For laparoscopic anterior resection, an additional small incision is usually placed in the left lower quadrant or the suprapubic portion. As a left inguinal hernia incision is close to both the left lower quadrant and the suprapubic portion, such an incision can be used for anastomosis in laparoscopic anterior resection, without additional incisions. We report a laparoscopic anterior resection ...
