"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...

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)

Post-Transplant Lung Herniation and Infarction After Clamshell Thoracotomy
Introduction: Pulmonary hernia is a rare condition characterized by the protrusion of lung tissue through a chest wall defect. Trauma and thoracic surgery are the most common causes of acquired lung hernias. Predisposing factors include previous surgeries, malignancy, COPD, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and steroid usage (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

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)
