LAPAROSCOPIC TRANSABDOMINAL PRE-PERITONEAL PROCEDURE (TAPP) FOR GROIN HERNIA. HOW TO DO IT FOR BETTER OUTCOMES (Abstract): The laparoscopic approach for the groin hernia repair has several advantages: decreased immediate and late postoperative pain, less numbness in inguinal aria, less mesh infection and a rapid recovery. However the good outcomes are not granted, and there are some key points ...

The fact that adhesions can form following abdominal surgery has been known since the beginning of surgery. Yet during the early years of surgery, adhesion formation received little attention, the focus being on infection and survival. In the seventies clinical endocrinology developed explosively, driven by the introduction of oral contraceptives and by the introduction of radioimmunoassays—a t...

Adhesions are a common and unfortunate consequence of most abdominal surgical operations. Some patients form extensive permanent adhesions that can cause abdominal or pelvic pain, infertility and bowel obstruction. Epidemiological studies have highlighted the extent of this problem and the cost to the Health Service, and although there are numerous approaches to prevent adhesion formation by ca...

PURPOSE Human scirrhous gastric carcinoma develops peritoneal dissemination with high frequency, and the prognosis of patients with peritoneal metastasis is poor. There have been few reports of an immunogene therapy for peritoneal dissemination. Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-2 is a second ligand of leukocyte function-associated antigen-1, which functions as a costimulatory molecule for...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present experimental research was to assess the efficacy of intraperitoneal administration of rosuvastatin in preventing the formation of postoperative peritoneal adhesions. MATERIAL AND METHOD Peritoneal adhesions were induced in 120 male rats of the Wistar-Bratislava breed, divided into 4 groups (n=30), using a parietal and visceral abrasion model. Group I was ...

Abstract Incisional hernias are a well-known complicationafter liver transplantation, with an incidence of up to 15%. Conventional closure techniques such as synthetic or biological meshes do not have proper results, probably due variety factors including tension in definitive wall and the use immunosuppressive drugs that can cause necrosis wound infection. Alternative complete abdominal fascia...

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of topical administration of honey in prevention of or reduction in post-surgical peritoneal adhesions in dog. The study was conducted on 18 adultfemale mixed-breed dogs with a mean ± SD weight of 20 ± 4.25 kg. A standardized surgical trauma (serosaltrauma model) was made in the dogs’ descending colon to induce adhesion formation. T...

Surgical resections, such as peritoneal stripping (peritonectomy) or full-thickness resection of the diaphragm (FTDR), are performed for disseminated diaphragmatic lesions in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). This article presents the anatomical steps of diaphragmatic surgery in order to avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications and to decrease the morbidity and mortality...
