Outcomes of porcine small intestinal submucosa mesh compared to polypropylene mesh in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair: a retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To compare the long-term outcomes of porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) mesh and polypropylene (PP) mesh after an laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair.

Background: Mesh-based surgical techniques for inguinal hernia repair are recommended in the guidelines due to the lower rate of recurrence. Biologic meshes (BMs) may have advantages in terms of chronic pain due to the different postoperative remodeling, without the disadvantages of a permanent implant.

Exploring serum -glycome patterns as candidate non-invasive biomarkers in inguinal hernia.

Introduction: Although inguinal hernia (IH) is prevalent in elderly males, research on its specific diagnostic biomarkers is limited. Protein -glycosylation is one of the most important and ubiquitous post-translational modifications and often results in a remarkable heterogeneity of protein glycoforms. Protein -glycosylation often changes in a disease and holds great potential for discovering non-invasive biomarkers.

Analysis of hospitalization costs in adult inguinal hernia: based on quantile regression model.

Background: Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure with significant variability in hospitalization costs. Traditional cost analysis methods often overlook the distribution of costs across patient demographics and clinical factors. This study employs a quantile regression model to explore the determinants of hospitalization costs for adult inguinal hernia surgery, providing a detailed understanding of cost variations across different quantiles.

Comparison of open preperitoneal and transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair for primary unilateral femoral hernia: a retrospective cohort study of 132 case.

Background: Femoral hernia (FH) is traditionally treated by open surgery (OS). Laparoscopic treatment has also shown good results in treating FH. However, there have been few comparative studies of these two techniques.

Initial results of an indigenous absorbable tacker for mesh fixation in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair: a retrospective analysis of 158 cases.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a Chinese absorbable tack for mesh fixation in laparoscopic abdominal wall hernia repair compared to a widely used similar imported product.

Methods: From May 2019 to December 2020, the clinical data of 158 patients with abdominal wall hernias were analyzed. They were divided into two groups: 76 patients underwent surgery with local absorbable tacks for mesh fixation (experimental group) and 82 patients received a similar imported product (control group).

Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection Improves the Intraperitoneal High Pressure in Rats Treated with Abdominal Wall Plasty.

The aim of the study is mainly to study the subject of BoNT-A injection to improve IAH in rats undergoing abdominal angioplasty. The study problem in surgery, especially in ICU, burn, and trauma centers, intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are common complications. At present, there are various treatments for IAH.

If laparoscopic technique can be used for treatment of acutely incarcerated/strangulated inguinal hernia?

Purpose: Laparoscopic treatment for acutely incarcerated/strangulated inguinal hernias is uncommon and controversial. In the present study, we assessed the safety and feasibility of transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair for the treatment of acutely incarcerated/strangulated inguinal hernias.

Methods: Patients with acutely incarcerated/strangulated inguinal hernias who underwent TAPP repair at the Department of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery (Beijing Chaoyang Hospital) from January 2017 to December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.

Multiple recurrent neurofibromas in the abdominal wall: A case report.

Background: Neurofibroma can be a clinical manifestation of neurofibromatosis, which is a benign neurogenic tumor that occurs sporadically. Neurofibromas in the abdomen usually appear in the retroperitoneal space. Reports on neurofibromas in the abdominal wall are rare, and multiple recurrent neurofibromas in this area have not yet been reported.

Analysis of operation procedure and effect for emergency surgery in general hospital during novel coronavirus pneumonia period.

Background: Novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) outbreak in Wuhan, China in early 2020, resulted in over 80 thousand infections in China. At present, NCP has an explosive growth in the world. Surgeons could refuse selective operation during the outbreak, but they must face the emergency operation.

Background: Biologic mesh is a newly developed material for hernia repairs which has been successfully used in clinical practices. This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy between patients undergoing a Lichtenstein's hernioplasty with a new biologic mesh derived from porcine small intestine submucosal (SIS) extracellular matrix versus a standard SIS mesh.

Methods: A prospective, randomized, double-blinded, multi-center trial was conducted in a 6-month study.

An acellular tissue matrix-based drug carriers with dual chemo-agents for colon cancer growth suppression.

Background/aims: Relapse, metastasis, and chemo-resistance are the main factors responsible for the failure of surgical treatment of malignant tumors, and typically are the main obstacles to effective cancer treatment. Although significant advances have been made in the field of cancer chemotherapy, many patients still receive inadequate treatment due to the severe adverse effects of these drugs, resulting in an inability to reach therapeutic concentrations at the tumor site with systemic chemotherapy. Thus, a biological patch loaded with chemotherapeutic drugs could be an ideal strategy for the treatment of cancer at the tumor site.

The results of open preperitoneal prosthetic mesh repair for acutely incarcerated or strangulated inguinal hernia: a retrospective study of 146 cases.

Background: Tension-free hernia repair has been regarded as the gold-standard treatment for selected inguinal hernias, but the use of prosthetic mesh in acutely incarcerated or strangulated inguinal hernias is controversial. Our aim was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of open prosthetic mesh repairs for emergency inguinal hernias.

Methods: Patients with acutely incarcerated or strangulated inguinal hernias who underwent open preperitoneal prosthetic mesh repairs during 2013 to 2016 at our department were included.
