Use of fibrin glue for fixation of mesh and approximation of Peritoneum in Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair: technical feasibility and early surgical outcomes.

Background: It is a common practice to secure both mesh and peritoneum using tacks when performing a transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair. The use of tacks to secure the mesh is well documented and has been associated with postoperative chronic pain. Recently, fibrin glue has been used to secure the mesh in these repairs but not used to reapproximate the incised peritoneum.

Head roll influences perceived hand position.

Visual and proprioceptive sensory inputs are naturally coded in different reference frames, i.e., eye-centered and body-centered, respectively.

Multi-sensory weights depend on contextual noise in reference frame transformations.

During reach planning, we integrate multiple senses to estimate the location of the hand and the target, which is used to generate a movement. Visual and proprioceptive information are combined to determine the location of the hand. The goal of this study was to investigate whether multi-sensory integration is affected by extraretinal signals, such as head roll.
