"Slim-Mesh" Technique for Diastasis Recti Abdominis, Including Obesity-Related Cases
CONCLUSION: Considering the lack of agreement on the best surgery for diastasis recti abdominis repair, in our experience the "Slim-Mesh" technique is a valid, safe and easy-to-reproduce way to save, repair and reinforce linea alba/recti muscles in diastasis recti patients, including the obese population (53%).PMID:38562947 | PMC:PMC10984376 | DOI:10.4293/JSLS.2024.00003 (Source: JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons)

Bilateral Spigelian Hernias Robotic Repair: A Novel Approach to a Rare Surgical Entity
We present the first ever reported cases of bilateral Spigelian hernias repaired using robotic approach. Two female Puerto Rican patients referred to our institution complaining of abdominal pain, where imaging studies found bilateral Spigelian hernias. In both cases, a transabdominal preperitoneal repair was performed using the Da Vinci Surgical System. Both patients were discharged home tolerating oral intake with adequate wound healing. On follow up visits, patients denied abdominal discomfort and had adequate wound healing. Robotic surgery for Spigelian hernias poses an advantage over laparoscopic repair as improved vi...

Lessons learned from revision procedures: a case series pleading for reinforcement of the anterior hiatus in recurrent hiatal hernia
ConclusionIn this study, hiatal hernia recurrences occured most commonly at the left-anterior quadrant of the hiatus, however, posterior recurrences were not uncommon. Based on our results, we hypothesize that both posterior and anterior hiatal reinforcement might be a suitable solution to lower the recurrence rate of hiatal hernia. A randomized controlled trial using a circular, bio-absorbable mesh has been initiated to test our hypothesis. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

The Utilization of Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair (LVHR) in Incarcerated and Strangulated Cases: A National Trend in Outcomes
CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic VHR has become a routine method for treating incarcerated and strangulated hernias, and its utilization continues to increase over time. Clinical outcomes have remained the same while hospital stays have decreased.PMID:38557282 | DOI:10.1177/00031348241241692 (Source: The American Surgeon)

Paraesophageal Hernia Repair in a Lung Transplant Recipient: Is It Safe?
Introduction: It is well described that lung transplant (LTx) recipients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) have a higher risk of both acute and chronic rejection. However, there is limited data on the outcomes of antireflux operations within this cohort. Less is known about patients requiring complex postoperative foregut surgery after LTx. Here we present a case of a LTx recipient with a large paraesophageal hernia (PEH) who had a successful repair due to deliberate management during the immediate postoperative course.

Application of bridging mesh repair in giant ventral incisional hernia
This study aimed to verify the safety and efficacy of bridging repair by comparing it with primary fascial closure (PFC) repair in the treatment of giant ventral incisional hernia. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 92 patients with giant ventral incisional hernia who underwent mesh repair at our medical institution from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2020. Patients were divided into 2 groups: the bridging repair group with 40 patients in whom repair was completed using the bridging technique and the PFC group with 52 patients in whom primary fascial closure was achieved and all patients underwent mesh reinf...

Robotic repair of moderate-sized midline ventral hernias reduced complications, readmissions, and length of hospitalization compared to open techniques
ConclusionsRobotic techniques were associated with fewer complications, shorter hospitalization, fewer infections, and fewer readmissions compared to open techniques. Open surgical technique was the only predictor of complications. (Source: Journal of Robotic Surgery)

Round ligament management during minimally invasive groin hernia repair in women: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionTransecting the RLU reduces the operative time during MIS GHR with no difference regarding postoperative complication rates. Although transection appears safe, further prospective randomized studies with long-term follow-up and patient-reported outcomes are necessary to define the optimal management of RLU during MIS GHR.
