Imaging of early postoperative complications after mesh repair has shown "foldings" of the prosthetic mesh, leading to displacement and associated hernia recurrence. A rectangular two-dimensional mesh introduced into the abdomen and fitted into a concave three-dimensional cavity does not lie evenly and is susceptible to crumpling. Hence, we propose to introduce a geometrically corrected mesh design that would allow easier placement and compliment the anatomic shape of the abdominal cavity.

Quality of Sexual Life Before and After Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery.
Urogynecology (Phila)
October 2024
Aava Medical Center, Hämeenlinna, Finland.
Importance: Although surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is generally associated with an improvement in sexual function, knowledge on specific changes is limited.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe and compare changes in sexual activity and function during a 5-year follow-up period after POP surgery.
Study Design: This was a nationwide cohort study of 3,515 women operated on for POP in 2015 in Finland.
Minimally Invasive Total Versus Supracervical Hysterectomy With Sacrocolpopexy.
Urogynecology (Phila)
October 2024
Atrium Wake Forest Baptist Health, Winston-Salem, NC.
Importance: Limited data exist comparing total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) versus laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSCH) at the time of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy for uterovaginal prolapse.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare TLH versus LSCH at the time of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy for uterovaginal prolapse, hypothesizing that LSCH would demonstrate a higher proportion of recurrent prolapse, but a lower proportion of mesh exposures.
Study Design: This was a retrospective, secondary analysis comparing a prospective cohort of patients undergoing TLH sacrocolpopexy versus a retrospective cohort of patients who had undergone LSCH sacrocolpopexy.
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.

Background: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a cognitive decline that is greater than expected for an individual's age and level of education, but which does not interfere with functionality. It may be divided into amnestic (when it predominantly affects memory) and non-amnestic (other cognitive domains). One of the cognitive functions that may be affected by MCI is language.

Common filter membranes for emulsion separation often require time-intensive preparation and extensive use of chemicals, necessitating a fast-processing and eco-friendly alternative. This study introduces a 2-layer stacked nylon mesh treated with surface diffuse atmospheric plasma (SDAP) for rapid and efficient emulsion separation. Commercial nylon mesh exhibited durable super-wetting properties after just 30 s of SDAP treatment, which was sufficient for effective emulsion separation.
