Totally extraperitoneal repair of groin hernia in liver transplant patients: a case series study (TOHER)
ConclusionTEP groin hernioplasty is safe and feasible for liver transplant patients, with low complication rates, short hospital stays, and a significant proportion treated as outpatients. The posterior approach allows comprehensive repair of myopectineal defects, crucial due to associated hernial defects. (Source: Hernia)

Efficacy and safety of mesh non-fixation in patients undergoing laparo-endoscopic repair of groin hernia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsMesh nonfixation improves the return to daily life without increasing the risk of hernia recurrence or chronic pain. Surgeons and patients may discuss mesh nonfixation options to accommodate a patient ’s desired return to daily life. Further trials focusing on TAPP are required to confirm these findings.

Risk factors for inguinal hernia repair among US adults
ConclusionInguinal hernia repair is positively associated with non-Hispanic white race/ethnicity, older age, male sex, increased physical activity, alcohol consumption and tobacco use (only in women); while negatively associated with obesity and overweight status. Findings from this large and ethnically diverse study may support future prediction tools to identify patients at high risk of this surgery. (Source: Hernia)

Laparoscopic versus robotic TAPP/TEP inguinal hernia repair: a multicenter, propensity score weighted study
ConclusionsThis real-world experience suggested that RIHR is a safe, and feasible option with comparable intra-operative and post-operative outcomes to LHIR. In our study, RIHR showed technical advantages in more complicated hernia cases with yielding to lower reoperation rates, and less opioid use. (Source: Hernia)

Novel insights into patient ’s thoughts about their body image in abdominal wall hernia
ConclusionsOur findings illustrate that AWH detrimentally affected patients ’ body image. This aspect of patient care can be treated and managed through better pre-operative information, including on body image as part of a holistic needs assessment (HNA), and ensuring the results are addressed in a patient care package. These development suggestions may positively affect the AWH patient’s experience and outcomes in terms of Quality of Life (QoL) by preparing patients better for realistic results regarding what can be achieved in terms of form, function thus making a more holistic recovery from surgery.
