We evaluated whether previous inguinal hernia repair may affect the choice of prostate carcinoma treatment in a population-based cohort. It has been suggested that previous laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR) could limit the subsequent possibility of performing a prostatectomy. Several small studies have suggested otherwise.

- A study compared two methods for repairing incisional ventral hernias: laparoscopic repair with intraperitoneal mesh (LG) versus a hybrid approach that includes open closure of the fascial defect (HG).
- Out of 193 patients, 65 in the LG group and 60 in the HG group were followed up after 5-10 years, revealing similar hernia recurrence rates of around 16.9% for LG and 16.7% for HG.
- The long-term quality of life and pain levels reported by patients in both groups were comparable, indicating that adding fascial closure did not significantly impact outcomes despite existing recommendations.
Summary: After pregnancy, some women experience severe rectus diastasis (RD), with body control dysfunction, midline hernia, or other quality-of-life impairment. The purpose of this study was to describe the authors' experience using hydrodissection and epidural anesthesia for lateral plication modification of abdominoplasty to restore abdominal wall firmness. A total of 46 consecutive patients with RD after pregnancy were enrolled.
