Precision spraying relies on the response of the spraying equipment to the features of the targeted canopy. PWM technology manages the flow rate using a set of electronically actuated solenoid valves to regulate flow rate at the nozzle level. Previous studies have found that PWM systems may deliver incorrect flow rates.

- The Rives-Stoppa retromuscular repair (RSR) method is proven to provide better outcomes for large abdominal wall defects in terms of complications and recurrence rates, particularly for incisional hernias.
- A study involving 213 patients who underwent RSR revealed a recurrence rate of 7.1%, with recurrences typically occurring within 19 months post-surgery.
- Key predictors for hernia recurrence after RSR include the use of steroid or immunosuppressive drugs, postoperative hematoma formation, and the need for additional surgery to address the hematoma.
Introduction: Preoperative progressive pneumoperitoneum (PPP) and botulinum toxin type A (BT) are tools in the surgical preparation of patients with loss of domain hernias (LODH). The aim of this paper is to report our experience with these preoperative techniques in 70 patients with LODH.
Methods: Observational study of 70 consecutive patients with LODH was conducted between May 2010 and May 2016.
Background: Rives-Stoppa repair is widely accepted technique in large midline IH, and appears to be advantageous compared to other surgical techniques concerning complications and recurrence rates. The aim of this case series study was to analyze 1-year outcomes in patients with IH treated with Progrip self-gripping mesh compared to polypropylene (PPL) mesh fixed with sutures during the Rives-Stoppa technique.
Methods: Between June 2014 and June 2015, we performed a prospective comparative non-randomized (case series) analysis between 25 patients with IH using retromuscular Progrip self-gripping mesh and 25 patients with retromuscular PPL mesh fixed with sutures, under Rives-Stoppa repair.

Introduction: Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is a rare complication of cholelithiasis. The objective of this study was to assess the current incidence of MS in our area and present our experience in the clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic management, focussing in laparoscopic approach.
Materials And Methods: We prospectively analyzed 35 cases of MS between January 2006 and November 2012, collecting information regarding demographics, clinical management, diagnostic methods, surgical procedure, postoperative morbidity, and follow-up.
