The endoscopic extraperitoneal hernioplasty as reported in this study is a similar repair to that achieved by the conventional preperitoneal repair as described by Stoffa, Nyhus, and Rignault. However, this new repair is completed via a totally extraperitoneal approach. Thus, it eliminates all early and late complications related to the violation of the peritoneal cavity as proposed by other intraperitoneal laparoscopic approaches to hernia repair. This report demonstrates the safety and feasibility of this procedure while offering the patient the advantages of a minimally invasive surgical procedure which can be performed under regional anesthesia.

Planned iliohypogastric neurectomy for prevention of chronic pain after inguinal hernia repair.
Hernia
March 2025
Faculty of Medicine, Neurosurgery Department, Aksaray University, Ankara University Graduate School of Health Sciences Department of Clinical Anatomy, Ankara, Turkey.
Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of planned ilohypogastric neurectomy (IHPN) in preventing chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) after anterior herniorrhaphy (AH).
Materials And Methods: This prospective, randomized study was conducted between 2016 and 2023. Emergency and incarcerated hernia cases, bilateral inguinal hernias, cases with complications such as postoperative hematoma infection, cases in which the neuroanatomy of the inguinal region was unintentionally damaged, femoral hernias, and paraplegic patients with loss of sensation who underwent anterior inguinal herniorrhaphy with prolene mesh were excluded, and the remaining 1375 patients were included in this study.

Incisional hernia of abdominal wall is one of the most common complications following open surgery. Giant incisional hernia of abdominal wall is defined as having a maximum defect diameter >12 cm or a hernia sac volume-to-abdominal cavity volume ratio >20%. The Primary treatment for giant incisional hernia of abdominal wall is surgical repair; however, both open surgery and conventional laparoscopic surgery are associated with significant technical difficulty, high surgical trauma, frequent postoperative complications, and suboptimal outcomes.

Hernia
March 2025
Department of General Surgery, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC, USA.
Purpose: As the use of robotic platforms for inguinal hernia repairs continues to grow, the rTAPP (Robotic Trans-Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal) approach is being performed significantly more often than rTEP (Robotic Totally Extra-Peritoneal) and is predominantly taught to newly trained robotic surgeons. This study's primary objective was to evaluate the feasibility of a proposed modified rTEP technique that incorporates balloon dissection as a primary tool, enabling the horizontal placement of three trocars aligned with the umbilicus. Secondary objectives included evaluation of safety and effectiveness of this technique, and of the learning curve required to reach proficiency.

Introduction: Abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) is associated with significant post-operative pain for which there is no standardized treatment regimen. Quadratus lumborum (QL) blocks have not been studied in open ventral hernia repair. This study reviews our institution's experience with QL blocks in open AWR.

Department of General Surgery, Sakarya University Faculty of Medicine, Sakarya, Turkey.
Purpose: This study aims to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic versus open repair techniques in patients undergoing emergency surgery for incarcerated incisional hernia in a tertiary care setting.
Methods: A prospective evaluation was conducted on 45 patients who underwent emergency laparoscopic and open repair for incarcerated incisional hernia between 2018 and August 2021. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical technique used: laparoscopic (n = 15) and open repair (n = 30).
