Laparoscopic surgery is recommended as the standard approach for bilateral inguinal hernia repair. There are few studies in the literature comparing laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) approaches for bilateral inguinal hernia repair. This study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes and effectiveness of laparoscopic TAPP and laparoscopic TEP methods applied in bilateral inguinal hernia repair.

- The transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) is a common minimally invasive surgery for inguinal hernias, primarily noted for reducing postoperative pain.
- A study was conducted on 99 patients to compare the effectiveness of three newer pain management techniques: port site local anesthetic injection, iliohypogastric-/ilioinguinal nerve block, and preperitoneal local anesthetic spraying.
- Results showed that while all methods had positive outcomes, the preperitoneal local anesthetic spraying technique was slightly better at managing pain in the first 24 hours after surgery, but more extensive studies are needed for clearer conclusions.
Aims: This study aims to evaluate the histopathological features and prognostic parameters of tumors with microsatellite instability (MSI) compared with those without MSI in patients who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC).
Setting And Design: Follow-up for CRC at Istanbul Sultan 2. Abdulhamid Han Training and Research Hospital was retrospectively evaluated between March 2017 and March 2021.
Background: There are data on the safety of cancer surgery and the efficacy of preventive strategies on the prevention of postoperative symptomatic COVID-19 in these patients. But there is little such data for any elective surgery. The main objectives of this study were to examine the safety of bariatric surgery (BS) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and to determine the efficacy of perioperative COVID-19 protective strategies on postoperative symptomatic COVID-19 rates.
