Early outcomes of robotic modified retromuscular Sugarbaker technique for end colostomy parastomal hernia repair.

Aim: The modified retromuscular Sugarbaker or Pauli technique is a technique for parastomal hernia repair, which requires the dissection of the retromuscular space and a transversus abdominis release for stoma lateralization and placement of a retromuscular mesh. Given the limited evidence regarding the robotic approach to this technique, this study aims to evaluate the outcomes of this newly introduced procedure, focusing on the rate of 30-day complications and recurrence rates.

Methods: Retrospective case series report.

Delay in the residents' choice for General and Digestive Surgery: Analysis of the period 2018-2022.

Introduction: Every year hundreds of medical residents choose their specialization in various surgical fields. However, these numbers have been poorly analyzed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the selection of General and Digestive Surgery by medical residents and compare these results with the selection of other surgical specialties.

Analysis of recurrence and risk factors in laparoscopic sandwich technique for parastomal hernia repair.

Introduction: Parastomal hernias are frequent and highly recurrent. The sandwich technique is a combination of the keyhole and Sugarbaker techniques, using a double intraperitoneal mesh. The objective of this study was to assess the outcomes of the sandwich technique, specifically focusing on recurrence rates.
