PATTY HERNIAS

Parastomal hernias.

The incidence of parastomal hernias is probably 30% to 50%. Suture repair of a parastomal hernia or relocation of the stoma results in a high recurrence rate, whereas with mesh repair recurrence rates are lower. Several mesh repair techniques are used in open and laparoscopic surgery, but randomized trials comparing various techniques and with long-term follow-up are needed for better evidence.

Hernias – Introduction

38 - Hernias

Incisional hernias of the abdominal wall occur in up to 11% of all other postoperative patients and in as many as 23% of patients with postoperative wound infections. Trocar site hernias after laparoscopic surgery are reported in up to 6% of patients. Parastomal hernia formation occurs in 28% of ileostomies and 48% of colostomies. Morbidity depends on the location and contents of the hernia, as...

PATTY: A Taxonomy of Relational Patterns with Semantic Types

This paper presents PATTY: a large resource for textual patterns that denote binary relations between entities. The patterns are semantically typed and organized into a subsumption taxonomy. The PATTY system is based on efficient algorithms for frequent itemset mining and can process Web-scale corpora. It harnesses the rich type system and entity population of large knowledge bases. The PATTY t...
