Can surgeons accurately identify mesh type when interpreting computed tomography scans after ventral hernia repair?
ConclusionsSurgeons ’ ability to accurately identify the type of previous mesh using CT scans is poor. This study underscores the importance of documenting the type of mesh used in the operative report and the need for standardized operative notes to improve the accuracy and consistency of documentation.

Incidence and predictors of chronic pain after inguinal hernia surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsThe incidence of persistent pain following hernia repair surgery is high in current clinical practice, a concern that should not be overlooked. Stratified assessment tools need to be established for patients experiencing early chronic pain, and personalized follow-up strategies and preventive interventions should be developed for those with potentially high risks. These measures aim to enhance the quality of life for patients after hernia repair. (Source: Hernia)

Early vs Late Inguinal Hernia Repair in Preterm Infants
This randomized clinical trial compares the safety of early (before discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit) vs later inguinal hernia repair among infants born prematurely who underwent the procedure near the end of their neonatal intensive care unit stay. (Source: JAMA)

Reduction en masse of Inguinal Hernia in a 2-Month-Old Male Infant
European J Pediatr Surg Rep. 2024; 12: e41-e44 DOI: 10.1055/a-2280-9708Reduction en masse is the reduction of the hernial sac into the preperitoneal space, with a loop of bowel remaining trapped at the neck of the hernial sac. This complication is rare, usually associated with inguinal hernias, and is characterized by the absence of a noticeable bulge in the groin. The patient was a 2-month-old male infant and presented with a nonreducible bulge in his left groin, and incarceration of the left inguinal hernia was diagnosed. Manual reduction was performed, and the hernia bulge became less noticeable. He was admitted, and la...

Factors Associated With Respiratory Failure After Open Ventral Hernia Repair: An Evaluation of the NSQIP Database
Am Surg. 2024 Mar 24:31348241241731. doi: 10.1177/00031348241241731. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAn analysis of ACS-NSQIP open ventral hernia repair (OVHR) data (2017-2019) was performed. Respiratory failure (RF) occurred in 643 patients (1%) and not in 63,213 (99%) (nRF). Respiratory failure patients were older (63.7 vs 57 years, P < .001) and more comorbid: insulin-dependent diabetes (14.7% vs 5.8%, P < .001), COPD (19.4% vs 5.2%, P < .001), BMI (36.0 vs 32.8, P < .001), and current tobacco use (24.9% vs 17.6%, P < .001). Respiratory failure patients had greater ASA scores (ASA 3: 63.3% vs 47.8%, P < ...

Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP): an underestimated problem after incisional hernia treatment
ConclusionThe presence of CPSP after open incisional hernia repair represents a frequent and underestimated long-term problem which has been not been recognized to this extent before. CPSP impairs QoL in these patients. Patients at risk to develop CPSP can be identified in the perioperative setting by the need of high doses of pain medication using the analgesics score. Possibly timely adjustment of pain medication, even in the domestic setting, could alleviate the chronicity or severity of CPSP. (Source: Hernia)
