Introduction: While sex differences are known to have a clinically relevant impact on the response to pain therapy, current data are still largely equivocal on sex-specific postoperative pain management. The aim of this study is to determine whether sex predicts differences in pain management in patients undergoing ventral hernia repair (VHR).
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data for VHR from the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative.
Purpose: Managing postoperative pain remains a significant challenge in hernia operations. With ventral hernia repair (VHR) being one of the most commonly performed procedures, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of non-opioid analgesia to opioid-based regimens for postoperative pain management.
Methods: The Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative was queried for elective VHR patients between 2019-2022.
Introduction: Abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) utilizes advanced myofascial releases to perform complex ventral hernia repair (VHR). The relationship between the performance of AWR and disparities in insurance type is unknown.
Methods: The Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative was queried for adults who had undergone an elective VHR between 2013 and 2020 with a hernia size ≥10 cm.
Purpose: Ventral hernia repair (VHR) postoperative complications vary in presentation, management, and severity. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of individual postoperative complications on long-term quality of life (QoL) after VHR.
Methods: Data from the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative were analyzed retrospectively.
