An experience with treatment of 61 patients with inguinal hernias on whom 69 alloplastic hemioplasties had been performed was analyzed. For the most part the Lichtenstein method of alloplasty with polypropylene gauzes was used. Good immediate and long-term results were obtained. No recurrences were observed during the three year follow-up. Alloplasty should be used more widely for the treatment of inguinal hernias.

When evaluating the long-term follow-up of robotic-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (r-TAPP) approach to inguinal hernias, research remains limited due to small patient cohorts and shorter follow-up durations. The most significant research on inguinal hernia repair utilizing r-TAPP procedure includes follow-up periods of up to 2 years and examines approximately 150 cases. This article presents data from 434 consecutive r-TAPP procedures conducted on 324 patients, with follow-up ranging from a minimum of 3 years to 8 years.

Introduction: Van Wyk-Grumbach Syndrome (VWGS) is a rare pediatric endocrinological disorder characterized by hypothyroidism, delayed bone age, enlarged multicystic ovaries, and precocious puberty. It results from prolonged hypothyroidism, affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. This report describes a 7-year-old girl presenting with vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain, leading to a diagnosis of VWGS with bilateral inguinal hernia and requiring surgical intervention.

The risk of nerve injury is high, given the nerves' relatively small caliber and strictly-confined space through which they pass. In the current report, we describe using a novel fluorescence imaging system developed to detect nerve autofluorescence in a 66-year-old man who presented with a left-sided Type II inguinal hernia and underwent inguinal hernioplasty.
