- This study investigated the effectiveness of P4HB-ST mesh in laparoscopic ventral or incisional hernia repair for patients at high risk of surgical complications.
- The primary goal was to assess surgical site occurrences needing intervention within 45 days, while secondary goals included factors like surgery time and hernia recurrence over time.
- Results showed low complications, but a notable recurrence rate of 31.7%, particularly higher in larger hernia defects, suggesting P4HB-ST mesh may be more effective for smaller hernias.
Background: While Botox sphincterotomy with or without fissurectomy has been proven effective in healing anal fissures, they have not been directly compared. We evaluated cost-effectiveness and outcomes between Botox sphincterotomies with and without fissurectomy.
Methods: A 5-year retrospective review was conducted comparing all patients undergoing Botox sphincterotomy for anal fissure with or without fissurectomy.
