Outcomes of posterior component separation with transversus abdominis release for repair of abdominally based breast reconstruction donor site hernias
ConclusionABABR-related hernias are complex and technically challenging due to missing abdominal wall components and denervation injury. After repair with PCS/TAR, patients had high rates of recurrence and bulge, but reported improved quality of life and pain and low regret. Surgeons should set realistic expectations regarding postoperative bulge and risk of hernia recurrence. (Source: Hernia)

The 6:1 short stitch SL-WL-ratio: short term closure results of transverse and midline incisions in elective and emergency operations
ConclusionWe could show that a short stitch 6:1 SL/WL-ratio with a 2 –0 single, ultra-long term, absorbent, elastic suture material can be performed in only 43% of cases (85% > 4:1 SL/WL-ratio), significantly better in midline than transverse incisions. Transverse incisions should preferably be closed in two layers to achieve a sufficient SL/WL-ratio equivalent to the median incision.Clinical Trials.gov IdentifierNCT01938222. (Source: Hernia)

Temporal patterns for inguinal hernia recurrence operations after Shouldice Repair
ConclusionPatients undergoing reoperations for recurrent inguinal hernias after a primary Shouldice Repair presented a pattern of temporal recurrence according to age. Older patients present with earlier recurrences than younger ones, an important consideration in the assessment of patients postoperatively. (Source: Hernia)

Femoral hernia in pediatric population: a diagnostic and surgical challenge
ConclusionDue to the high rate of misdiagnosis, the variety of surgical approaches proposed, and the potential for intraoperative complications, FH poses a challenge for pediatric surgeons and urologists, as confirmed by the literature. It is essential to underline the importance of a proper clinical examination in order to correctly diagnose FH, make the best surgical plan for the patient and prevent post-operative complications.

Spigelian hernia: a multi-site review of operative outcomes of surgical repair in the adult population
ConclusionAlthough a small sample size, the data suggest there is no statistically significant difference between operative outcomes, complication rate and predisposing factors between open and minimally invasive case groups. (Source: Hernia)

Prophylactic mesh augmentation in emergency laparotomy closure: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials with trial sequential analysis
ConclusionsMesh augmentation in emergency laparotomy decreases incisional hernia and fascial dehiscence incidence. Despite the risk of seroma, prophylactic mesh augmentation appears to be safe and might be considered for emergency laparotomy closure. Further studies evaluating long-term outcomes are still needed.
