Efficacy of injection of autologous adipose tissue in the treatment of patients with complex and recurrent fistula-in-ano of cryptoglandular origin.

Background: Adipose tissue injections, a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells, have been successfully used to promote anal fistula healing. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of adipose tissue injection in treating patients with complex and recurrent fistulas of cryptoglandular origin.

Methods: We conducted a prospective, single-center, open-label, non-randomized, interventional clinical trial from January 2020 to December 2022.

Outpatient Surgery and Unplanned Overnight Admission in Bilateral Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Population-based Study.

Purpose: The use of outpatient surgery in inguinal hernia is heterogeneous despite clinical recommendations. This study aimed to analyze the utilization trend of outpatient surgery for bilateral inguinal hernia repair (BHIR) in Spain and identify the factors associated with outpatient surgery choice and unplanned overnight admission.

Methods: A retrospective observational study of patients undergoing BIHR from 2016 to 2021 was conducted.

Effectiveness and Safety of Postoperative Hospital at Home for Surgical Patients: A Cohort Study.

Objective: To determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a Hospital at Home (HaH) enabled early transfer pathways for surgical patients.

Background: HaH serves as a safe alternative to traditional hospitalization by providing acute care to patients in their homes through a comprehensive range of hospital-level interventions. To our knowledge, no studies have been published to date reporting a large cohort of early home-transferred patients after surgery through a HaH unit.

Bilateral inguinal hernia repair by laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) vs. laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP).

Background: The guidelines recommend laparoscopic repair for bilateral inguinal hernia. However, few studies compare the totally extraperitoneal (TEP) and transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) techniques in bilateral inguinal hernias. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of TEP and TAPP in bilateral inguinal hernia.

Trends and predictors of laparoscopic bilateral inguinal hernia repair in Spain: a population-based study.

Background: International guidelines currently recommend laparoscopy for bilateral inguinal hernia repair (BIHR). Our study aims to evaluate the trends and factors associated with the choice of laparoscopy for BIHR in Spain.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing BIHR between 2016 and 2019.

Outpatient inguinal hernia repair in Spain: a population-based study of 1,163,039 patients-clinical and socioeconomic factors associated with the choice of day surgery.

Reducing inpatient admissions and health care costs is a central aspiration of worldwide health systems. This study aimed to evaluate trends in outpatient surgery in inguinal hernia repair (IHR) and factors related to the outpatient setting in Spain. A retrospective cohort study (Record-Strobe compliant) of 1,163,039 patients who underwent IHR from January 2004 to December 2019 was conducted.

The transition from open to laparoscopic surgery for bilateral inguinal hernia repair: how we did it.

Purpose: To describe the transition process from open repair (OR) to laparoscopic repair (LR) of bilateral inguinal hernia in a small basic general hospital METHODS: We describe the technical details and training strategy used to facilitate the transition to systematic LR of bilateral inguinal hernia. We conducted a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from all patients undergoing bilateral inguinal hernia repair between January 2017 and December 2020. We analysed the evolution of LR and compared the surgical outcomes: complications, acute pain (24 h), chronic pain (> 3 months), and recurrence (1 year) of the patients operated on by OR and LR.

Results of a Prospective Cohort Study on Open Rives Technique of the Midline Incisional Hernia: Midline Closure and Mesh Overlap.

Rives repair has been traditionally used for large abdominal wall defects with good results on terms of recurrence. However, it is limited by the lateral border of the posterior rectus sheath. The objective of our study was to evaluate recurrence rate, midline closure and mesh overlap in patients operated on elective midline incisional hernia by open Rives retromuscular repair.

Inguinal hernia repair in Spain. A population-based study of 263,283 patients: factors associated with the choice of laparoscopic approach.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to evaluate the laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (IHR) rate in Spain and identify the factors associated with the choice of this surgical approach.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 263,283 patients who underwent IHR from January 2016 to December 2018 was conducted. Data were extracted from the Spanish Minimum Basic Data Set (MBDS) of the Health Ministry database.

The impact of intracorporeal anastomosis in right laparoscopic colectomy in the surgical site infections and the hospital stay: a cohort study.

Ileocolic anastomosis in laparoscopic-assisted right colectomy is frequently performed extracorporeally. Intracorporeal anastomosis could be associated with several short-term benefits. However, it is a more technically demanding procedure.

Long-term incisional hernia rate after single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is significantly higher than that after standard three-port laparoscopy: a cohort study.

Background: Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) is a feasible technique that provides comparable results to standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). However, despite the theoretical advantages of minor wound complications and cosmetic results, SILC usually requires a larger incision, which may increase the incidence of incisional hernias. This study evaluated SILC and standard multiport cholecystectomy with respect to perioperative outcomes, hospital stay, cosmetic results, and postoperative complications, including the 5-year incisional hernia rate.
