Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of a surgical glue, Ifabond™, as an alternative to traditional mesh fixation in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs, focusing on reducing chronic postoperative pain.
- Data was collected from 613 patients, showing significant decreases in postoperative pain and improvements in quality of life after surgery, with follow-ups at 5 weeks and 12 months.
- Although 13.74% of patients experienced chronic pain a year later, only a small number required medication, and overall complications, such as hernia recurrences and major morbidities, were low.
Objectives: To prove that the ELVeS® Radial® 2ring slim fiber (Biolitec AG, Wien, Austria) is safe and effective, with a reliable fiber durability.
Methods: This prospective, non-randomized, registry recruited patients with venous incompetence of the great saphenous vein, with or without concomitant incompetence of the small, anterior accessory and posterior accessory saphenous veins. Anatomic success, clinical success and pain were assessed.
Article Synopsis
- Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) often results in inadequate weight loss or weight regain in 20-35% of patients, leading to the potential use of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) as a revisional strategy.
- A study involving 35 patients who experienced inadequate results post-RYGB was conducted, and they underwent LAGB; the follow-up showed significant improvement in weight loss and quality of life.
- After 24 months post-LAGB, patients achieved a total excess weight loss of approximately 60.7%, but there were also concerns about complications, with a reoperation rate of 21.2% noted.
