Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh (IPOM Plus) Repair Versus Extended-View Totally Extraperitoneal Rives-Stoppa (eTEP-RS) Repair in Primary Ventral Hernias: Experience With 50 Cases in a Tertiary Care Hospital.

Background Primary ventral hernias are abnormal protrusions of abdominal viscera through the areas of weakness in the fascia of the abdominal wall. The aim of this study was to compare the benefits and complications, and the overall outcome in the Extended-View Totally Extraperitoneal Rives-Stoppa (eTEP-RS) repair versus Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh (IPOM Plus) repair in the management of primary ventral hernias. Methods After obtaining institutional ethical committee clearance, this prospective comparative study between IPOM Plus and eTEP-RS was conducted in a tertiary care hospital from December 2020 to January 2022.

Endoscopic Thyroidectomy: A 6-Year Experience from a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital in Western India.

Minimally invasive and endoscopic surgical techniques have surpassed the conventional open thyroidectomy for the treatment of thyroid nodules. Trans-axillary, Unilateral Axillo-Breast Approach (UABA), Bilateral Axillo-Breast Approach, and Trans-Oral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach (TOETVA) are the most common endoscopic procedures performed currently. This article highlights our experiences with UABA and TOETVA over a period of 6 years.

Endoscopic sistrunk using bilateral axillo-breast approach - A minimal access technique for thyroglossal duct cysts.

Sistrunk procedure for thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) includes removal of the thyroglossal cyst, middle portion of the hyoid bone and the tract towards the foramen caecum. Endoscopic approaches have surpassed the traditional open approaches for the treatment of benign thyroid swellings and TGDCs. Endoscopic Sistrunk procedure using bilateral axillo-breast approach is a safe and better alternative for the successful treatment of TGDC and provides excellent cosmetic results.
