Summary: This study compared the outcomes of combined stoma closure and incisional hernia repair with incisional hernia repair only, finding that the risk of hernia recurrence reoperation was increased after concurrent stoma closure. Patients who underwent concurrent stoma closure also had longer hospital stays and higher 30-day reoperation rates compared to those who underwent incisional hernia repair only.

Summary: This study evaluated the hospital-level variation of ventral or incisional hernia repair in the kidney transplant population and found significant differences in hernia repair rates among different hospitals. Patient and hospital characteristics also varied across tertiles, particularly in diabetes and obesity.

Summary: Prophylactic mesh reinforcement of midline laparotomy closures appears to be effective in preventing incisional hernias, but it also increases the risk of surgical site occurrences.

Summary: The study found that the recurrence rates were comparable between open and laparoscopic repair of umbilical and epigastric hernias. Open repair was associated with a significantly higher rate of readmission and reoperation, particularly due to surgical site infection, while the rate of reoperation for severe complications was higher after laparoscopic repair.

Summary: This study analyzed the risk of reoperation following primary ventral hernia repair and found that open mesh repair had lower reoperation rates compared to open suture repair and laparoscopic repair. Female sex, young age, and liver cirrhosis were identified as risk factors for reoperation.

Summary: This study evaluated the results of using the Parietex(TM) Composite Ventral Patch for ventral hernia repair with the open intraperitoneal onlay mesh technique. The results showed that the open IPOM technique with a preformed patch offered satisfactory results for the treatment of ventral and incisional hernias.

Summary: This study evaluated the outcomes of emergent ventral hernia repair with and without mesh. It found that repairs without mesh were associated with a higher hernia recurrence rate, but no difference in the risk of infectious complications was observed. Efforts to understand the rationale for suture-based repair compared to mesh repair are needed to reduce hernia recurrences in the emergent population.

Summary: This study found that we selectively use biologic mesh in a third of our first-time repair patients and in over half of our redo-repair patients. Despite the high risk for radiologic recurrence, there was only 1 reoperation for recurrence in the entire cohort.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of life, post-operative complications, and hernia recurrence rate after laparoscopic enhanced-view Totally Extra-Peritoneal (eTEP) Rives-Stoppa (RS) for incisional and primary ventral hernia repair. The study included 61 patients who underwent eTEP-RS between 2017 and 2020. The results showed that eTEP-RS significantly improved QoL variables and had acceptable post-operative complications and hernia recurrence rates in a short-term follow-up.

Summary: This study compared eTEP repair with IPOM repair in terms of pain, cost effectiveness, and quality of life. The results showed that eTEP group had lower pain scores, lower seroma rates, and earlier return to activity. Additionally, the eTEP group was 2.4 times more cost effective than IPOM.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the reoperation rate for recurrence in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair using different mesh types. The nationwide cohort study analyzed data from the Danish Ventral Hernia Database. The results showed that Physiomesh and Proceed Surgical Mesh had a significantly higher risk of reoperation for recurrence in primary hernias; for incisional hernias, Physiomesh, Parietex Composite, Ventralex Hernia Patch, and Proceed Surgical Mesh all had a significantly higher risk compared with Ventralight ST Mesh.

Summary: This study compared early wound morbidity and clinical outcomes associated with resorbable P4HB mesh to traditional permanent PP mesh in umbilical and small to medium routine ventral hernia repairs. The results showed no significant difference in early wound morbidity, readmission, or reoperation between the two groups, but P4HB was associated with significantly greater operative time, length of stay, and use of myofascial release compared to PP. Further longer-term follow-up is needed to fully understand the clinical relevance of these short-term findings.

Summary: The sandwich technique for parastomal hernia repair demonstrated a recurrence rate of 7.9% in this study, with postoperative complications emerging as the primary risk factor for hernia recurrence. The study was conducted in two tertiary referral centers in Catalonia, Spain, and included consecutive patients who underwent parastomal hernia repair using the sandwich technique between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2021.

Summary: Skipping the post-anaesthesia care unit after knee and hip arthroplasty can be considered for low-risk patients, leading to improved flow and resource utilization in the operating theatre, without compromising safety. Further confirmation is needed, considering variations in peri-operative protocols and settings.

Summary: The aim of this study was to determine the length of bowel specimens and assess the impact of certain characteristics. Data from medical records of patients who underwent right hemicolectomy for cancer were collected, and it was found that the length of the terminal ileum specimen varied and was positively correlated with BMI. Additionally, the length of colon specimens differed naturally depending on the cancer location.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of topical melatonin during radiation therapy on the quality of life in primary breast cancer patients. A total of 65 patients were included in the study, with 26 in the melatonin group and 22 in the placebo group. The results showed that while there was no difference in breast symptom scores on the last day of radiation, the melatonin group had significantly lower scores over the entire duration of the trial.

Summary: This double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized study investigated whether melatonin can protect against radiation dermatitis in women receiving radiation therapy for primary breast cancer. The results showed no difference in RTOG-scores and pixel analyses at 2 weeks follow-up between the melatonin and placebo groups. However, the melatonin group demonstrated a protective effect based on RTOG-scores over the entire duration of the study.

Summary: Most patients can resume work and leisure activities after inguinal hernia repair within a convalescence period of three to five days. However, there is no specific recommendation for sport and heavy lifting resumption. This study found that surgeons generally agreed on resuming daily activities and light work based on pain level, but there were variations in convalescence recommendations for sport and heavy lifting.

Findings revealed that patients commonly feel abandoned after their surgical and oncological treatments are completed and turn to the internet for guidance. Stool-related issues significantly impact patients' personal and professional lives, while additional troublesome symptoms further affect their daily lives.

Summary: In this study, 14 cancer patients were interviewed to explore their experiences with treatment and care in a late complication clinic. The results showed that patients benefited from the clinic, but also had some confusion and recommendations. They wished for more information on late complications and patient-friendly treatment options. Patients were satisfied with telephone consultations as it provided convenience and ease of expression.

Summary: This study examines the fluid distribution and haemodynamic implications in acute high-risk abdominal surgery. It found that there is a progressive increase in fluid balance and extracellular volume throughout the perioperative period, which can lead to overhydration. Patients with overhydration are less haemodynamically stable compared to those with normo- or dehydration.
