In the last ten years we assisted to spreading of laparoscopic approach on the correction of median incisional hernia, although for increased interesting toward mini-invasive techniques than for matching results between lap and open approaches. The aim of our study is the critical analysis of the results of lap and open surgery in the approach of ventral hernia, through the meta-analytical revision of the principal checked prospective trials. There were emerged 7 perspective studies to fit to a meta-analysis with the revision of the literature, with 1165 patients in total. Among the perioperative outcomes the briefer surgical time and a reduction of postoperative hospitalization were observed with the significant statistic data in favor of the lap. Laparoscopy can be considered a valid technical alternative to traditional open surgery in the treatment of ventral incisional hernia. The advantages of mini-invasive approach are the reducing of the surgical time and of the total hospital stay. There were not emerged any significant differences regarding the other surgical end-points or the recurrences of hernias after 1 and 5 years.

Defect width as a percentage of transverse abdominal diameter: An index to predict the requirement for component separation in incisional hernia repair.

Purpose: Preoperative decision making prior to incisional hernia repair brings benefits but also presents challenges. Defect width (DW) is the key index in hernia staging but does not precisely indicate the requirement for component separation (CS). DW as a percentage of transverse abdominal diameter (TAD) determined by CT imaging was investigated for its capacity to indicate the necessity of CS for successful defect closure under physiological tension.

Incisional hernia is a type of iatrogenic disease, and its clinical treatment is complicated. In recent years, there have been new advances in the diagnosis, surgical methods, and materials science of incisional hernias. On the basis of the , more than 70 experts and scholars over the country have discussed the consultation and modified the issues such as complex abdominal wall conditions, loss of domain, principles of incisional hernia treatment, techniques of abdominal wall hernia defects closure, perioperative management, and follow-up in this new edition, combined with evidence-based medical evaluation standards.

Background: Ventral hernias are a common but heterogeneous disease. Communication among key stakeholders (eg, patients, clinicians, administrators, payers, and researchers) can be augmented by a widely utilized classification system. The European Hernia Society (EHS) developed an expert-opinion-based hernia classification system organized by hernia type (primary versus incisional) and size.

Background: Anterior component separation (ACS), or Ramirez component separation technique, is an established technique still used by surgeons to repair a ventral hernia. Compared with other ventral hernia repair techniques, recent studies about ACS show more postoperative complications like wound breakdown, wound infection, hematoma, skin necrosis, seroma, and recurrence. Our study aims to compare the ACS technique with the preservation perforator technique and verify if the perforator preservation technique can decrease postoperative complications.

Ectopic varices can result from portal vein stenosis following pancreaticoduodenectomy with concomitant portal vein resection reconstruction, and they can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. Although they can sometimes be fatal, various treatments have been reported. This report describes a case in which a percutaneous transhepatic approach was used to simultaneously perform variceal embolization and portal vein stenting in which a favorable outcome was achieved.
