Ventral Hernia After Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Nephrectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: The incidence of incisional hernias after hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) ranges from 3 to 10%. Robotic-assisted ventral hernia repair is technically feasible and gaining popularity as an acceptable alternative to open repair. Case Report: We report a case of a robot-assisted repair for an incisional hernia from a hand-assist port site in a 50-year-old man after a hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy (HALN). Conclusion: We present a novel approach for recreating the anterior abdominal wall using the robotic platform.

OBJECTIVES For renal cell cancer, the hand-assisted laparoscopic approach provides several advantages while maintaining equal advantages with regards to patient recovery. We offer our experience with laparoscopic hand-assisted radical nephrectomy and the incidence of ventral wall hernia. METHODS Between February 1999 and July 2002, we performed 50 laparoscopic hand-assisted radical nephrectom...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Historically, nephrectomy for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease was performed by an open technique. We performed this study to compare outcomes in hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy with open nephrectomy in this population. METHODS Charts of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease who underwent nephrectomy by a transplant surgeon fro...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Repair of Left Lumbar Hernia After Laparoscopic Left Nephrectomy
Lumbar hernias, rarely seen in clinical practice, can be acquired after open or laparoscopic flank surgery. We describe a successful laparoscopic preperitoneal mesh repair of multiple trocar-site hernias after extraperitoneal nephrectomy. All the key steps including creating a peritoneal flap, reducing the hernia contents, and fixation of the mesh are described. A review of the literature on th...
متن کاملHand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy and nephroureterectomy: our experience in Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
Hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy (HAL-N) and nephroureterectomy (HAL-NU) were introduced to bridge the gap between open and laparoscopic surgery. This newer technique has the benefits of both laparoscopic and open surgical approaches but has a shorter learning curve and decreased operative time compared to laparoscopic surgery. A review of our 2-year experience showed that for the sevente...
