Primary ventral hernia repair is a common global surgical procedure, entailing economic burdens and recurrence challenges. Rectus diastasis (RD) is considered a risk factor for midline defects and treatment is symptom-based. When primary ventral hernia and RD coexist, management still remains unclear.

- - The study analyzed how the COVID-19 pandemic affected antibiotic use in surgical patients by comparing data from 2019, 2020, and 2021 at a tertiary hospital.
- - A total of 2,975 patients were included, revealing that surgical procedures dropped significantly in 2020, and more patients received antibiotics during that year compared to 2019 and 2021.
- - Results indicated that 45.08% of patients received at least one antibiotic in 2020, with higher usage in specific surgical units, highlighting increased post-operative antibiotic prescriptions during the pandemic.
There is currently no consensus or homogeneous recommendation about the role of the laparoscopic approach in emergent inguinal hernia surgery. The aim of this manuscript is showing our experience and results of laparoscopic approach for emergent groin hernia repair comparing with open approach. A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database between January 2011 and December 2021 of acute incarcerated groin hernia that were operated at Virgen del Rocio University Hospital.

Our objective is to conduct a cost analysis in our setting (Spanish National Health System).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective single-center comparative study on inguinal hernia repair using a robotic approach versus laparoscopic approach.
