Introduction: To describe the technique of total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair performed during Robot-assisted Endoscopic Extraperitoneal Radical Prostatectomy (R-EERPE) and to present the initial outcomes.
Material And Methods: 12 patients underwent inguinal hernia repair during 120 R-EERPEs performed between July 2011 and March 2012. All patients had a clinically palpable inguinal hernia preoperatively. The hernia was repaired using a Total Extraperitoneal Patch (TEP) at the end of the procedure.
Results: Sac dissection and mesh placement was simpler compared to conventional laparoscopy due to improved, magnified, 3-D vision along with 7° of movement, and better control of mesh placement. The median operating time was 185 minutes, with on average, an additional 12 minutes incurred per hernia repair. The median blood loss for the procedures was 250 ml, and the mean pathological prostate weight was 55 gm. No additional blood loss was noted and there were no postoperative complications. None of the patients had a recurrence at 12 months. We await long-term follow-up data.
Conclusions: Robot-assisted TEP is feasible and should be considered in patients with hernia at the time of R-EERPE.

Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN), also known as black esophagus or Gurvits syndrome, is an uncommon endoscopic finding characterized by diffuse, circumferential, black discoloration of the esophagus that terminates at the gastroesophageal junction. The incidence of AEN has been reported to be 0-0.2% in autopsy series and up to 0.

Abdominal wall repair in adults with bladder exstrophy is challenging. We present a case of a 46-year-old woman with bladder exstrophy presenting with a large midline incisional hernia associated with a 13-cm hypoplasia of both pubic rami that precluded fixation of any abdominal mesh. A two-stage approach was adopted.

Purpose: Exploring the retrospective analysis of the association between pre-hospital e-education via QR code and the hospital stay for inguinal hernia patients undergoing general anesthesia.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to explore the association between pre-hospital e-education utilizing QR code and hospital stay in patients with inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia between August 2022 to June 2024. Patients were categorized into two groups based on their engagement with the pre-hospital e-education: those who accessed the pre-hospital e-education (viewing group) and those who did not (non-viewing group).

Background/aim: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a critical condition affecting newborns, which often results in long-term morbidities, including neurodevelopmental delays, which affect cognitive, motor, and behavioral functions. These delays are believed to stem from prenatal and postnatal factors, such as impaired lung development and chronic hypoxia, which disrupt normal brain growth. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of these neurodevelopmental impairments is crucial for improving prognosis and patient outcomes, particularly as advances in treatments like ECMO have increased survival rates but also pose additional risks for neurodevelopment.

Introduction: Timing of repair for infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) requiring extracorporeal life support (ECLS) remains controversial. Approaches include early repair on ECLS, late repair on ECLS, or repair after ECLS decannulation; all have potential risks and benefits. To mitigate risk and maximize benefit, our group developed an individualized hybrid model in 2016 in which approach is based on prenatal risk stratification.
