Purpose: Despite the widespread of ventral hernia repairs globally, the approach method, dissection planes, defect closure, and the choice and placement layer of mesh are an ongoing debate. We reported the details of surgical techniques, safety and feasibility for robot-assisted transabdominal transversalis fascial and preperitoneal repair (R-TATFPP) for small ventral hernia.
Methods: This study included 5 cases of R-TATFPP repair among 22 cases performed by robot-assisted ventral hernia repair from 2018 to 2023 with the approval of the Institutional Review Board at St.
Article Synopsis
- A critical value (or panic value) in lab tests indicates a serious health issue needing immediate attention, but its effectiveness in predicting mortality is questionable.
- Researchers analyzed over 335,000 lab results from nearly 93,000 patients to develop a machine learning model (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) that predicts 7-day mortality, comparing it to traditional critical value lists.
- The machine learning model outperformed the critical value list in predicting mortality rates, suggesting it could enhance timely notifications to healthcare providers and potentially improve patient safety.
Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the safety and short-term outcomes of robotic-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal repair for inguinal hernia in 12 pioneering hospitals in Japan.
Methods: Clinical data of patients who underwent robotic-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal repair between September 1, 2016, and December 31, 2021 were collected. Primary outcome measures were intra-operative adverse events and post-operative complications, whereas secondary outcomes were surgical outcomes, including chronic pain, recurrence, and learning curve.
Introduction: The endoscopic-assisted or endoscopic mini- or less-open sublay (E/MILOS) concept describes a contemporary approach of trans-hernial repair of ventral hernia via sublay mesh placement. The term sublay often causes confusion, and preperitoneal placement of mesh should be considered as a distinctive approach. We hereby present our experience of a novel approach, the E/MILOP approach, for the repair of primary and incisional ventral hernias.
