Article Synopsis
- * A study assessed the impact of preoperative Botulinum Toxin A (BTA) injections on reducing the need for component separation techniques (CST) and surgical complications in patients undergoing hernia repair.
- * Results showed that patients receiving BTA had a significantly lower need for CST (46% vs. 84%) and experienced fewer postoperative complications, indicating BTA can improve surgical outcomes for giant hernias.
Unlabelled: The use of the anterior technique for abdominal wall components separation combined with "onlay" alloplasty (ACST + onlay) in giant incisional hernias (IH) may pose a surgical challenge as it does not exclude increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and the occurrence of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). There remains a high incidence of surgical site complications. In our view, the use of intra-abdominal alloplasty combined with anterior separation of the anterior abdominal wall components (ACST + IPOM) will contribute to the improvement of surgical outcomes in giant IH.

Introduction: The objectives were to study the changes in the mechanics of respiration in children undergoing surgery depending on the value of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during laparoscopic procedures, and to compare the effects of different mechanical ventilation modes - pressure controlled (PCV) and volume controlled (VCV) ventilation - on the mechanics of respiration considering carboxyperitoneum conditions (CP).
Aim: To study the changes in the mechanics of respiration in operated children depending on the value of intra-abdominal pressure during laparoscopic procedures.
Material And Methods: Fifty-two children aged 1-12 years undergoing laparoscopic surgery on inguinal hernias were randomly allocated to receive mechanical ventilation using either VCV (n = 24) or PCV (n = 28) mode.
