Introduction: The surgical treatment of large incisional hernias with loss of domain (LIHLD) carries the risk of fascia closure under tension and, thus, abdominal compartment syndrome. We investigated volume measurements as a predictive factor for tension-free fascia closure.
Patients And Methods: From September 2004 to July 2008, we prospectively included 17 patients with LIHLD. The operation was prepared by a progressive preoperative pneumoperitoneum (PPP) technique known as the Goni Moreno procedure. The patient's age and body mass index (BMI), the incisional hernia's width, length and surface area, and the incisional hernia volume (IHV)/peritoneal volume (PV) ratio <20% were evaluated as predictive factors for tension-free fascia closure. A tension-free closure was defined as a closure in which the use of a surgical device for avoiding postoperative compartment syndrome was not required.
Results: The mean PPP volume introduced was 12.7 ± 4.4 l (range 4.5-19.2) over a period of 11 ± 6 days (range 4-24). The mean width, height and surface area of the incisional hernia after PPP were 11.3 ± 4.7 cm (range 4.5-19), 13.4 ± 7.8 cm (range 4.4-30) and 165 ± 101 cm(2) (range 19-304), respectively. The mean IHV after PPP was 2,374 ± 1,356 cc (range 517-4,802) and the mean abdominal cavity volume was 9,558 ± 4,106 cc (range 4,785-21,782). The mean IHV/PV ratio was 16.3 ± 10.4% (range 4.4-34). In a univariate analysis, the BMI and the IHV/PV ratio were predictive of tension-free fascia closure. In a multivariate analysis, only an IHV/PV ratio <20% was a significant predictive factor.
Conclusions: The IHV/PV ratio is predictive of tension-free fascia closure for hernias or incisional hernias with loss of domain. Simplification of the volumetry method is necessary.

Postoperative adhesion (PA) caused by the combination of proteins, inflammatory response and bacterial infection poses substantial challenges for polypropylene meshes (PPMs) based hernioplasty. Herein, inspired by the peritoneum, a Janus PPMs with side-specific functions was developed via a surface-initiated photoiniferter-mediated polymerization technology. A physical barrier composed of zwitterionic polymer brushes (PS) was firstly constructed on the one side of the PPMs, while the polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) brushes acting as the linker for bioactive nanoparticles (HAP) were precisely situated on the opposite surface subsequently.

By separating the abdominal wall, transversus abdominis release (TAR) permits reconstruction of the abdominal wall and the placement of large mesh for many types of hernias. However, in borderline cases, the mobility of the layers is inadequate, and additional bridging techniques may be required for tension-free closure. We now present our own data in this regard.

Urinary incontinence affects 25-45 % of women with the gold standard surgical approach being placement of mid-urethral synthetic slings; tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and trans-obturator tape (TOT). Due to the controversies regarding vaginal mesh the last decade, an increasing demand has evolved for incontinence treatment without vaginal synthetic mesh. The short term results of autologous rectus fascia sling for TOT surgery have shown similar success rates compared to those after the use of synthetic mesh, but the harvesting of the mesh is less minimally invasive and is associated with longer surgical time.

Aims: To assess and compare 30-day perioperative adverse events following suburethral sling surgery using synthetic mesh, autologous rectus fascia, and autologous fascia lata in women.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent fascial or synthetic sling placement for stress urinary incontinence between 2008 and 2021 using the American College of Surgeons' National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Current Procedural Terminology codes were used to identify patients undergoing each type of sling procedure.
Flexor Pronator Slide Under Local Anesthesia without a Tourniquet for Non-Ischemic Contractures of the Forearm.

Background: The flexor pronator slide is an effective treatment option for ischemic contracture and contracture related to spastic cerebral palsy, but little is known about the use of the flexor pronator slide in other non-ischemic contractures. I propose a flexor pronator slide to simultaneously correct wrist and finger flexor contractures and preserve the muscle resting length. To avoid overcorrection of the deformity, I propose the use of a wide-awake local anesthesia with no tourniquet (WALANT) procedure, in which the patient is able to continually assist the surgeon in assessing the contracture release and improvement in finger movement.
