Objective: To explore the effectiveness of tension-free herniorrhaphy with Ultrapro Plug (UPP) mesh through a femoris approach for femoral hernia repair.
Methods: Between March 2009 and January 2013, 123 patients (126 sides) underwent tension-free herniorrhaphy with UPP mesh through a femoris approach. There were 17 males and 106 females, aged 32-95 years (mean, 63.3 years). The locations were the left side in 48 cases, the right side in 72 cases, and both sides in 3 cases. The disease duration was 1 month to 26 years (median, 25 months). Of 123 cases, 35 cases (36 sides) were reducible and 88 cases (90 sides) were irreducible. According to American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, 20 cases were rated as grade I, 42 cases as grade II, 56 cases as grade III, and 5 cases as grade IV. The operation time, postoperative hospitalization time, complication, recurrence, and chronic pain were recorded.
Results: The operation time was 7-28 minutes (mean, 14.5 minutes); postoperative hospitalization time was 2-96 hours (mean, 19.4 hours) (112 patients discharged from hospital within 24 hours). Wound dehiscence occurred in 1 case and fat liquefaction in 2 cases. A total of 119 patients (122 sides) were followed up 4-50 months (median, 18 months); no recurrence was noted. Two cases (2 sides) suffered from chronic pain after operation, whose visual analogue scale (VAS) was 20 mm and 30 mm, respectively.
Conclusion: Tension-free herniorrhaphy with UPP mesh through a femoris approach should be recommended because it has the advantages of simple operation, short operation time, less complication, and lower incidence of chronic pain.

Background: Inguinal hernia is one of the most common visceral surgical conditions in industrialised countries. The aim of the present observational clinical study was to investigate the dermatome patterns after nerve injury following inguinal hernia surgery and to demonstrate the marked individual anatomical and topographical variability of peripheral nerves in the inguinal region.
Methods: 220 patients were followed up for one year after inguinal herniotomy.

Article Synopsis
- * Results indicate that the TS method is linked to a higher incidence of seroma and a longer recovery time for patients compared to the RS method, with statistical significance in these areas.
- * No significant differences were found between the two techniques regarding operation time, postoperative pain, overall complication rates, or recurrence rates, suggesting similar outcomes in those aspects.

Background: Inguinal hernia repair is a frequently performed surgical procedure, with laparoscopic repair emerging as the preferred approach due to its lower complication rate and faster recovery compared to open repair. Mesh-based tension-free repair is the gold standard for both methods. In recent years, robotic hernia repair has been introduced as an alternative to laparoscopic repair, offering advantages such as decreased postoperative pain and improved ergonomics.

BACKGROUND Endoscopic inguinal hernia repair has become the preferred technique currently. The use of mesh to facilitate a tension-free reinforcement has become the standard of care during endoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP), laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal, and open inguinal hernia repair. Although uncommon, late-developing mesh infections, defined as those occurring in the surgical site months or years after the procedure, can lead to severe complications.

Purpose: To report our experience with laparoscopic repair of anterior congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) using extracorporeal subcutaneous knot tying and to define recurrence risk factors.
Methods: This retrospective unicentric study included children who underwent laparoscopic repair of anterior CDH without patch, using extracorporeal knot tying of sutures passed through the full thickness of the abdominal wall (2013-2020). A systematic review of the literature with meta-analysis was performed using the MEDLINE database since 2000.
