Published: March 2009

Seroma following open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair has rarely been described. The majority of cases in the literature have been associated with use of polytetrafluoroethylene grafts. Here, we present a patient with a very large, symptomatic periaortic graft seroma 10 years after conventional (open) repair. The etiology of such seromas is of significant interest in endovascular aortic repair.

Background Pre-pectoral implant-based breast reconstruction has become increasingly popular because it is associated with less postoperative pain and earlier recovery than traditional sub-pectoral techniques. Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in pre-pectoral reconstruction is thought to provide additional support for the implant and improve cosmetic outcomes. However, it leads to additional costs.

Background: Prepectoral (PP) immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) is gaining popularity over the retropectoral (RP) breast reconstruction technique. This study aims to compare complication rates across different body mass index (BMI) groups in patients undergoing PP or RP IBBR.

Methods: A monocentric retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent mastectomy and IBBR from January 2018 to December 2023.

Background The sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard method used to determine the stage of breast cancer in patients with no clinical signs of axillary involvement. The current gold standard for the intraoperative assessment of the axilla involves the use of dual radioisotope and patent blue dye. However, researchers have been studying the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide Magtrace® (Endomagnetics Limited, Cambridge, United Kingdom) agents as an alternative to overcome the limitations of the standard SLNB technique.

Robotic sugarbaker parastomal hernia repair: updated series and outcomes.

Hernia

January 2025

Division of Gastrointestinal and Minimally Invasive Surgery, Department of Surgery, Carolinas Medical Center, 1025 Morehead Medical Drive Suite 300, Charlotte, NC, 28204, USA.

Purpose: To present updated outcomes after previously describing a novel technique for the robotic repair of parastomal hernias.

Methods: Patients who underwent parastomal hernia repair with a robotic Sugarbaker technique at a tertiary hernia center were identified from an institutional database. The approach involves mesh placement in the intraperitoneal or preperitoneal position after closure of the fascial defect.
