Acceptance of Open Preperitoneal Repair in Inguinal Hernia Surgery Delphi-Consensus After an Anonymous International Survey Among European Hernia Society Members.

Introduction: For years, the Lichtenstein technique was the gold standard for open repair, but several open pre-peritoneal techniques have developed since the fifties of the 20th century that offer some benefits over the Lichtenstein technique in terms of post-surgical incidence of pain. Since the 2023 update of the International HerniaSurge Guidelines, open preperitoneal mesh techniques have been an acceptable alternative, providing available expertise and competence with at least equal results as Lichtenstein repair.

Aim: The aim of this project is to understand the views of surgeons regarding the approach to inguinal hernia repair and determine best practice principles for optimal surgical outcomes.

Long-Term Gastrocolocutaneous Fistula after Endoscopic Gastrostomy: How Concerned Should We Be?

Unlabelled: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a safe technique for long-term enteral feeding. The most common PEG-associated adverse events are minor. Gastrocolocutaneous fistula (GCCF) results from misplacement of the PEG tube through the colon.

The role of surgical gastrostomy in the age of endoscopic gastrostomy: a 13 years and 543 patients retrospective study.

Background: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) became the gold standard for enteral feeding. Currently, surgical gastrostomy is seldom used.

Objective: Evaluating the role of surgical gastrostomy in a center with a large experience in PEG.
