Summary. The article analyzes modern clinical guidelines for the repair of inguinal hernias. In 2018, Hernia Surge Group published hernia repair. Experts evaluated effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages many currently known methods repair, with a high level evidence recommended choosing two open (Shouldice Lichtenstein) laparoscopic techniques (TAPP TER). Shouldice operation is considered ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this article is to systematically analyse the randomized, controlled trials comparing transinguinal preperitoneal (TIPP) and Lichtenstein repair (LR) for inguinal hernia. METHODS Randomized, controlled trials comparing TIPP vs LR were analysed systematically using RevMan® and combined outcomes were expressed as risk ratio (RR) and standardized mean difference. RES...

Pneumomediastinum is an extremely rare complication after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Very few cases have been reported in the surgical literature to date and most reports indicate pneumoperitoneum from the transabdominal preperitoneal approach as a causative factor. This case report describes a patient in whom an elective total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair was complicated by...

Arcuate line hernias (ALH) are uncommon defects with poorly understood etiology and only a few published reports in regard of diagnosis and repair. Prevalence is unknown because it is frequently misdiagnosed, rarely symptomatic, and, therefore, even more rarely surgically intervened. The authors present a case of a 51-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with chronic diffuse...

Background and Objectives Ventral hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed general surgery procedures, and minimally invasive approaches are increasingly preferred. The physiologic repair offered by the preperitoneal approach is favorable, with reduced complications, but it remains a technical challenge. The robotic platform allows for enhanced instrument flexibility and ease of oper...
