Background: Incisional hernia is a hernia that protrudes through a defect in a previous abdominal wound, and is one of the complications after abdominal surgery. Many risk factors seem to be associated with its development, and there are different treatment modalities from conservative management to operative repair whether open or laparoscopic. Objective: To assess the relation between the typ...

Endometriosis is a common chronic disease characterized by growth of the endometrial gland and stroma outside the uterus. Symptoms affect physical, mental and social well-being. Extrapelvic location of endometriosis is very rare. Abdominal wall endometriosis occurs in 0.03%-2% of women with a previous cesarean section or other abdominopelvic operation. The leading symptoms are abdominal nodular...

BACKGROUND The standard treatment for women with endometrial cancer is total abdominal hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy for surgical staging. Total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (TLH) is an alternative approach providing surgical and patient related advantages to laparoscopy. METHODS Twenty female patients with early stage endometrial cancer were operated upon by TLH and pelvic lym...

Cesarean section is the most common surgery performed in the United States with over 30% of deliveries occurring via this route. This number is likely to increase given decreasing rates of vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC) and primary cesarean delivery on maternal request, which carries the inherent risk for intraoperative complications. Urologic injury is the most common injury at th...

Background: Aim of the study was to compare suture techniques using interrupted mattress and continuous subcuticular stapler in terms wound closure time; pain stitch line on post-operative day 3, 5 7 patient satisfaction. Methods: All patients fulfilling inclusion criteria, were divided into 3 categories (interrupted mattress, staples) by random selection. Assessment parameters being skin indur...

Purpose: Surgical resection in one stage of primary colon cancer and synchronous liver metastases is an acceptable option. However, it causes significant surgical stress with high perioperative morbidity. The use minimally invasive surgery techniques could ameliorate this effect. We report a case simultaneous laparoscopic sigmoidectomy left hepatectomy using ICG fluorescence-guided techniques. ...

Abstract Aim Minimally invasive colorectal surgery reduces surgical trauma with better preservation of abdominal wall integrity, but the extraction site is still at risk incisional hernia (IH). This study aimed to determine pooled incidence IH for each type site, and compare rates after midline, non-midline Pfannenstiel extraction. Methods A systematic review meta-analysis was conducted using P...
