BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In this study, our aim was to evaluate the effects of intravenous dexketoprofen trometamol with ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block on analgesic quality and morphine consumption after total abdominal hysterectomy operations. METHODS We conducted this randomized controlled clinical study on 61 patients. The study was conducted in the operation room, post-anest...

Background: Peroperative identification and subsequent division or preservation of the inguinal nerves during open hernia repair may influence the incidence of chronic postoperative pain. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed to identify studies investigating the influence of different types of nerve management. Results: Based on three randomized studies the pooled mean percenta...

Background: The modified Stoppa approach was first described in 1993 by Hirvensalo as an alternative to the ilioinguinal approach for treatment of pelvic ring fracture. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 5 patients with unstable pelvic fracture treated with internal fixation using the modified Stoppa approach. Residual displacement of the pelvic ring was measured and graded using the met...

e Bernese rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO) was developed in 1983 (1) in order to prevent the development of arthrosis in young patients with hip dysplasia, and several reports on satisfactory results have subsequently been published (2–9). e RAO performed through the two most frequently used approaches, the ilioinguinal and Smith-Petersen, requires a broad dissection of the pelvic bones an...

Editor’s key points † This randomized, singleblinded study compared two differents local anaesthetic blocks for hernia repair. † Patients received either USguided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block or blinded ilioinguinal/ iliohypogastric nerve (IHN) blocks. † Ultrasound-guided TAP block produces less pain until 24 h with an opioidsparing effect without differences at 3 and 6 months after ...

Acetabular fractures are quite challenging injuries for the orthopedic surgeon due to low incidence and the deep and complex anatomy. A 61 y old man fell from a single-storey house and sustained a right acetabular fracture and cartilage wear. The dual-column was fixed with cannulated screw fixation via anterior ilioinguinal approach and received second surgery of open reduction and pelvic recon...

Background: Pelvic ring and acetabular fractures are some of the most morbid in orthopedic trauma. They commonly require large exposures for fixation associated with significant morbidity mortality. This study attempts to identify risk factors complications following operative pelvic injuries. Methods: 126 patients treated injuries were reviewed retrospectively. Demographics, procedure characte...
