The effects of dexamethasone added to ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve (IIN/IHN) block on rebound pain in inguinal hernia surgery: a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsIn conclusion, adding IV dexamethasone as a part of multimodal analgesia to IIN/IHN block for inguinal hernia surgery resulted in lower MRPS and lower postoperative opioid (tramadol) consumption. For this reason, IV dexamethasone can be added to the IIN/IHN block after inguinal hernia surgery to reduce the incidence of rebound pain, rebound pain scores, and NRS scores for pain, decrease postoperative opioid consumption, and improve the quality of recovery.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: Ref; NCT05172908, Date: December 29, 2021.

Risk factors for incisional hernia after gastrointestinal surgeries in non-tumor patients
ConclusionThis is the first study to reveal the relationship between IH and serum biochemical levels, and give a prediction through the nomograph model. These results will help surgeons identify high-risk patients, and take measures to prevent IH during the perioperative period. (Source: Hernia)

Risk factors for reoperation following inguinal hernia repair: results from a cohort of patients from an integrated healthcare system
ConclusionThis study identifies several risk factors associated with reoperation following inguinal hernia repair. These risk factors may serve as targets for optimization protocols prior to elective inguinal hernia repair, with the goal of reducing reoperation risk. (Source: Hernia)

Early outcomes of open anterior versus posterior components separation with transversus abdominis release for large median incisional hernias: a retrospective stepwise analysis
ConclusionComplex incisional hernia repair is a challenge given by a large amount of wound complications. Choosing between anterior and posterior component separation is still a source of significant debate. We were not able to depict significant different rates of complications between the procedures and we couldn ’t find any specific factor related to complications. (Source: Hernia)

Study of the biomechanical response of a prosthetic mesh secured with penetrating and non-penetrating fixations in IPOM ventral hernia repair
ConclusionThis study demonstrated that a mesh glued to the peritoneum exhibited higher bulging and a behavior of the repair less stiff compared to when it was sutured to the myofascial structure of the AW, particularly for high intra-abdominal pressures. However, the impact of these differences remains to be evaluated over time. Further preclinical investigations are needed to quantify their impact post-operatively. (Source: Hernia)
