My Journey through the Evolution of Ventral and Incisional Hernia Repair. The State of the Art and What is in the Future
نویسنده
چکیده
Each case of mesh infection requires a second operation for its removal, usually resulting in a recurrent hernia and an extra $75,000 in healthcare costs [3]. Furthermore, the overall incidence of surgical site infections (SSI) increased, leading to prolonged hospitalization with associated patient suffering. With these new complications, the improved recurrence rates were still unacceptably high, begging for the next improvement in hernia repair.

Half-Century Journey from Synthetic Organic Chemistry to Mathematical Stereochemistry through Chemoinformatics
My half-century journey started from synthetic organic chemistry. During the first stage of my journey, my interest in stereochemistry was initiated through the investigation on the participation of steric effects in reactive intermediates, cylophanes, strained heterocycles, and organic compounds for photography. In chemoinformatics as the next stage of the journey, I proposed the concept of im...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Incisional and Ventral Hernia Repair (LIVH): An Evolving Outpatient Technique
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The contemporary results of open incisional and ventral hernia repair are unsatisfactory because of high recurrence rates and morbidity levels. Laparoscopic repair of ventral and incisional hernias (LIVH) can be accomplished in a simple, reproducible manner while dramatically lowering recurrence rates and morbidity. METHODS One hundred consecutive patents underwent l...
متن کاملComparative efficacy of Prolene and Prolene-Vicryl composite mesh for experimental ventral hernia repair in dogs
In this study, efficacy of two hernia mesh implants viz. conventional Prolene and a novel Prolene-Vicryl composite mesh was assessed for experimental ventral hernia repair in dogs. Twelve healthy mongrel dogs were selected and randomly divided into three groups, A, Band C (n=4). In all groups, an experimental laparotomy was performed; thereafter, the posterior rectus sheath and peritoneum were ...
متن کاملSingle incision laparoscopic primary and incisional ventral hernia repair as the standard of care in the ambulatory setting; Does less equal better outcomes; Case series and literature review
INTRODUCTION The consensus about whether the single port approach is advantageous remains controversial. As the ambulatory service becomes the standard of care, techniques are in evolution to augment the patient experience in this setting. This forms the basis for evaluating SILS (Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery) prosthetic ventral hernia repair in the ambulatory setting. We report a SILS ...
متن کاملRobotic Ventral Hernia Repair
Approximately 350,000 to 500,000 ventral hernias are repaired yearly in the United States. These hernias include congenital umbilical hernias, incisional hernias from previous sur‐ geries, or epigastric hernias. The crux of hernia repair is honoring the principle of achiev‐ ing a tension‐free repair, often achieved with utilization of a synthetic mesh. Over the last quarter of this century, lap...
