Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to explore the risk for complications and reoperations following open repairs for sliding groin hernias.
Method: All primary indirect inguinal hernia repairs registered in the Swedish Hernia Register 1998-2011 were identified. Repeated and bilateral procedures were excluded.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of the Simball Box, a video box trainer with 4D motion analysis, for teaching laparoscopic skills to surgical residents.
- Residents underwent training by performing laparoscopic surgical knots, with metrics indicating significant improvements in task completion time and instrument motion analysis throughout the course.
- The results suggest that the Simball Box is a reliable tool for both training and assessing the development of laparoscopic skills in surgeons.
Introduction: The Basic Surgical Skills course uses an assessment score interval of 0-3. An extended score interval, 1-6, was proposed by the Swedish steering committee of the course. The aim of this study was to analyze the trainee scores in the current 0-3 scored version compared to a proposed 1-6 scored version.

Background: : Laparoscopic and open techniques for incisional hernia repair are recognized treatment options with pros and cons.
Methods: : Patients from 7 centers with a midline incisional hernia of a maximum width of 10 cm were randomized to either laparoscopic (LR) or open sublay (OR) mesh repair.
Objective: To describe the characteristics of patients undergoing multiple groin hernia repairs and to identify strategies that prevent further recurrence.
Summary Background Data: Although relatively infrequent, recurrent groin hernias where several repairs have previously been undertaken constitutes a major problem in hernia surgery. Low numbers and heterogeneity have made it difficult to perform large prospective studies on this group.
