In the last 2 years we performed 26 nonstrain hernioplasties for postoperative ventral hernias (16 laparoscopic and 10 open operations). Indications for laparoscopic operation were hernias after "primary" laparotomy, multiple aponeurosis defects, and also demand of simultaneous operations. We preferred open plastics in recurrent hernias, repeated abdominal operations, laparoscopic hernioplasty impossibility revealed during the operation. Fast rehabilitation and their early return to work are advantages of nonstrain hernioplasty. Mean hospital stay was 7.5 days with a general disability of 22.3 days. We believe that open hernioplasty is most simple and reliable. As to laparoscopic hernioplasty, we think it less reliable.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of extended endoscopic lumbar foraminotomy (EELF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF): a prospective observational study.

Lumbar foraminal stenosis can be surgically treated by foraminal decompression or facet joint resection and fusion (transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, TLIF). While conventional foraminal decompression poses a risk of segmental instability, the endoscopic approach (extended endoscopic lumbar foraminotomy, EELF) resects only the ventral part of the facet joint with a horizontal surgical trajectory. A prospective observational study was performed to analyze the cost-effectiveness of EELF versus TLIF.

Thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy is a demanding procedure especially in case of hilar adhesions. Herein, we reported a simple technique as the simultaneous ligation of hilar structures to facilitate thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy. After resections of fissures and of hilar lymph nodes, the following structures were sequentially isolated and simultaneously resected in their natural position: V2+A2 vessels; right upper bronchus; and V1+V3+A1+A3 vessels.

Background: Defect closure with mesh suture is a novel technique for hernia repair. Originally described as the construction of lightweight macroporous polypropylene mesh strips as a suture material, it is now available as an FDA-approved product. Mesh suture better distributes tensile forces and reduces fascial tearing compared to traditional suture but requires less implanted material and tissue dissection compared to planar mesh.

Background: Medically refractory hypertonia (MRH) within the pediatric population causes severe disability and is difficult to treat. Neurosurgery for mixed MRH includes intrathecal baclofen (ITB) and lumbosacral ventral-dorsal rhizotomy (VDR). Surgical efficacy limitations can be mitigated by combining the two into a multimodal strategy.

Purpose: To compare the erectile and urinary functions of ventral and dorsal onlay buccal mucosal graft (BMG) urethroplasty in the management of proximal bulbar urethral strictures (PBUS) in sexually active men.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively included patients with primary non-traumatic PBUS who were treated with (BMG) urethroplasty at our department between March 2019 and March 2023 either ventral or dorsal approaches. Patients were assessed at 3- and 12-months postoperatively for urinary and erectile functions.
