Case Report: Combined Laparoscopic Perineal Hernia and Abdominal Parastomal Hernia Repair With a Mesh After Abdominoperineal Resection: A Video Vignette and Review of the Literature.

Background: Postoperative perineal hernia (PH) is an uncommon complication after abdominoperineal resection (APR). Different techniques have been described in literature and there is no consensus regarding the optimal repair approach. In the present study, we reported a case of a laparoscopic combined repair of a perineal hernia and abdominal parastomal hernia (PSH) with mesh.

The Impact of Postoperative Complications on Recovery of Health-Related Quality of Life and Functional Capacity After Pancreatectomy: Findings From a Prospective Observational Study.

Objective: To evaluate the extent to which postoperative complications impact patient health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and survival after pancreatic surgery.

Background: Pancreatectomy is frequently associated with severe postoperative morbidity, which can affect patient recovery. Few and conflicting data are available regarding the effect of post-pancreatectomy complications on patient-reported HRQoL.

Retrospective analysis of transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair in emergency cases: A cohort study.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) for inguinal hernias in emergency settings, providing insights from a long-term follow-up.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all patients who underwent emergency TAPP repair in ASST Nord Milano from January 2005 to December 2023. A prospectively collected database of 54 consecutive TAPP hernia repairs was reviewed.

Recovery of health-related quality of life after laparoscopic versus open distal pancreatectomy.

Background: Limited data comparing recovery of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after laparoscopic (LDP) versus open distal pancreatectomy (ODP) are available. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of laparoscopy on postoperative HRQOL after DP using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS).

Methods: Data from consecutive patients who underwent DP (2020-2022) enrolled in a prospective clinical trial were reviewed.

Validation of the PROMIS-29 Questionnaire as a Measure of Recovery After Pancreatic Surgery.

Objective: To contribute evidence for the reliability, construct validity, and responsiveness of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 29 (PROMIS-29) profile questionnaire as a measure of recovery after pancreatic surgery.

Background: PROMIS questionnaires have been recommended to evaluate postdischarge recovery after surgery. Evidence supporting their measurement properties in pancreatic surgery is missing.
