Adult groin hernias
A groin hernia is a common presenting complaint for adults and surgical repair is usually recommended if symptomatic. Patients may present with swelling or pain in the groin and one should be cognizant of the surgical emergency of a strangulating or obstructing hernia. A careful history and examination will help determine differential diagnoses as well as planning the potential approach for repair. Surgical techniques have developed in recent years with a move towards favouring laparoscopy in the elective patient. (Source: Surgery (Medicine Publishing))

Timing of Pediatric Incarcerated Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Review of Nationwide Readmissions Data
In pediatric patients, incarcerated inguinal hernias are often repaired on presentation. We hypothesize that in appropriate patients, repair may be safely deferred. (Source: Journal of Surgical Research)

Robotic approach for retromuscular ventral hernia repair may be associated with improved wound morbidity in high-risk patients: a propensity score analysis
ConclusionsIn this analysis, a robotic approach was associated with decreased rates of SSI and SSOPI in obese patients who were either current smokers or diabetics. In effort to reduce wound morbidity and the associated physical and economic costs, robotic approach for retromuscular ventral hernia repair should be considered in this patient population.Graphical abstract (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Repair of diaphragmatic hernias: Retrospective analysis of 70 cases
CONCLUSION: DH is an important cause of morbidity and mortality due to abdominal organ strangulation and pulmonary and cardiac complications. When a DH is diagnosed, laparoscopic or open surgery is the treatment that should be preferred.PMID:38073460 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2023.98029 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)
