Narrative review of long-standing groin pain in athletes. Retrospective analysis of over 12 000 patients.

Purpose: This article critically examines long-standing groin pain (LSGP) in physically active adults related to sports overload by analyzing terminology, pathophysiology, and treatment.

Method: This review is based on data from over 10,000 patients managed through a multidisciplinary algorithm. (LSGP) has been variably labeled, using terms that have led to inconsistencies in understanding its origin and management.

Videoendoscopic assisted Rives-Stoppa technique. "Treatment for epigastric and umbilical hernias with diastasis recti".

Purpose: There are many surgical techniques for ventral hernias and diastasis recti, both conventional or video-endoscopic, with or without mesh placement, detailed in the literature. Using some details of the techniques proposed by Wolfgang Reinpold (Mini- or Less Open Sublay Operation, MILOS) and Federico Fiori (Totally Endoscopic Sublay Anterior Repair, TESAR) we found modifications that allowed repairing and reinforcement of the posterior fascia with a retro-muscular mesh and achieve primary fascial closure by minimally umbilical access and searching for the best anatomical, functional, and aesthetic results.

Method: Describe the surgical technique step by step and analyze 629 surgical treatments.
