Artificial Intelligence Assisted Recognition of Anatomical Landmarks and Laparoscopic Instruments in Transabdominal Preperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair
Surg Innov. 2024 Jan 9:15533506241226502. doi: 10.1177/15533506241226502. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLaparoscopic TAPP (Trans-Abdominal PrePeritoneal) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to repair inguinal hernias. Arguably, one important aspect to TAPP hernia repair is the identification of anatomical landmarks and the correct use of various laparoscopic instruments. There are very few studies regarding the use of artificial intelligence in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair and more specifically in TAPP. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and usefulness of AI in the recognition of anatom...

Complications of Peritoneal Dialysis Part I: Mechanical Complications
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2024 Jan 8. doi: 10.2215/CJN.0000000000000417. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeritoneal dialysis (PD) is a form of kidney replacement therapy that offers flexibility and autonomy to patients with end stage kidney disease. It is associated with lower costs compared to hemodialysis in many countries. However, it can be associated with unexpected interruptions to, or discontinuation of therapy. Timely diagnosis and resolution are required to minimize preventable modality change to hemodialysis. This review covers mechanical complications, including leaks, PD hydrothorax, hernias, dialysate flow problems...

Peritoneal Dialysis Care for People with Diabetes, Polycystic Kidney Disease, or Advanced Liver Disease
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2024 Jan 8. doi: 10.2215/CJN.0000000000000420. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeople treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) often have complicating conditions that require careful management. Three such conditions are reviewed in this article - diabetes mellitus, polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and chronic liver disease. Each of these conditions requires an understanding of both its impact on the delivery of the PD, as well as the impact of the PD on the condition itself. With respect to diabetes, glucose absorption from the dialysate complicates metabolic control, impacts on salt and water management ...

Linea alba 3D morphometric variability by CT scan exploration
ConclusionThis study provides an exhaustive 3D description of Linea alba ’s anatomical variability, presenting new considerations for curvature. This method provides a patient-specific anatomy description of the Linea alba. Further studies are needed to determine whether 3D reconstruction correlates with pathologies, such as hernias and diastasis recti. (Source: Hernia)
