PURPOSE This study assessed the recurrence rate and other safety and efficacy parameters following ventral hernia repair with a polyester composite prosthesis (Parietex™ Composite Ventral Patch [PCO-VP]). PATIENTS AND METHODS A single-arm, multicenter prospective study of 126 patients undergoing open ventral hernia repair with the PCO-VP was performed. Patient outcomes were assessed at discha...

A 2-day-old, term male neonate, weighing 2.1 kg, 1st in birth order was born by normal delivery. He presented to our department with a small fleshy swelling at the base of the umbilicus, bilious vomiting and epigastric fullness. Antenatal ultrasounds were not done. On examination, the baby was hemodynamically stable, pulse rate150/min and respiratory rate-50/min. anicteric and mildly dehydrated...

Background: Laparoscopy has gained popularity over open surgery in the treatment of umbilical and para-umbilical hernia repair over the last decade due to better defining and cover of the abdominal defect, shorter post-operative stay, less pain and lesser complications. The aim of our study was to compare the two procedures in terms of duration of surgery,cost outcome, complications, recovery t...

Yamanaka et al. described two case studies involving coexistent cholelithiasis, hiatal hernia, and umbilical hernias, and discussed clinical similarities with the classical features of the Saint's triad. Cholelithiasis, hiatal hernia, and colonic diverticulosis characterize the classical triad, but some authors have included any type of hernia due to herniosis-a developmental disorder of the ex...

Background Umbilical hernias are common in patients with end-stage liver disease undergoing liver transplantation. Management of those persisting at the time of liver transplantation is important to define. Objective To evaluate the long-term results of patients undergoing simultaneous primary umbilical hernia repair (UHR) at the time of liver transplantation at a single institution. Method...

Background Umbilical hernia repair is a common pediatric surgical procedure. While opioid analgesics are a feasible option and have long been a mainstay in the pharmacological intervention for pain, the effort to improve care and limit opioid-related adverse effects has led to the use of alternative techniques, including regional anesthesia. The current study prospectively compares the analgesi...

Introduction: Direct access day-case surgery is feasible in the management of symptomatic groin or para-umbilical hernia. With adequate coordination between the surgical team, GP and the patient, the average waiting time could be reduced without compromising quality of care. Methods: A retrospective review of case notes of patients who underwent hernia repair, under the care of a single consult...
