Full endoscopic minimally invasive extraperitoneal modified Sugarbaker approach for para-colostomy hernia repair: Technical aspects and 2-year follow-up results of a prospective cohort.

Aim: This study aimed to assess technical aspects and clinical results of a new minimally invasive technique in parastomal hernia (PSH) repair, full endoscopic retromuscular access, after 2 years of follow-up.

Methods: Data from consecutive patients requiring minimally invasive ventral PSH repair were collected from 2019 to 2022. The inclusion criteria were patients aged between 18 and 80 years old with symptomatic PSH.

Totally endoscopic suprabupic approach to ventral hernia repair: Advantages of a new minimally invasive procedure.

Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is in full development with the appearance of surgical techniques that try to diminish the disadvantages associated with this procedure. Totally endoscopic subcutaneous ventral hernia surgery with suprapubic access is a new minimally invasive surgical technique that surgically corrects the hernia defect associated or not with diastasis recti with the advantages of not penetrating the intra-abdominal space, thereby avoiding placement of the prosthesis in contact with the viscera and consequent complications (appearance of adhesions or fistulae).

Safety and effectiveness of self-adhesive mesh in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair using transabdominal preperitoneal route.

Background: Laparoscopic ventral or incisional hernia repair requires intraperitoneal mesh placement. This is associated with an increase in adhesions, bowel obstruction and enterocutaneous fistula. Intraabdominal meshes are laparoscopically fixed using traumatic fixation methods that increase acute, chronic pain and adhesions to bowel loops.

[Quality of life measurement in the postoperative period in general and gastrointestinal surgery].

Introduction: Health related quality of life measurement (HRQL) is widely accepted as an appropriate outcome of surgical care for assessing effectiveness and for risk adjusted outcomes. Nevertheless its use in the immediate postoperative period has show limitations. The aim of this study is to prove that is possible, with a specific new tool, to assess the HRQL during this period.
