Aim: identifying the variables that can help in quantifying/ predicting duration of hospital stay after inguinal hernia surgery.
Method: 257 patients who were diagnosed with inguinal hernia underwent surgery between January 2013 and October 2014 and were prospectively registered and statistically analyzed by using linear regression with the aim of emphasizing, calculating and validating the predictors for duration of hospital stay.
Results: out of 257 patients, 50,7% underwent laparoscopic surgery (TAPP and TEP) and 49,7% had an anterior approach by using the technique described by Lichtenstein in most of the cases. From the variables registered in the study (age, recurrence, emergency surgery, ASA [American Society of Anesthesiologists] risk classification, surgery duration, local and general complications) only the age and presence/absence of complications were statistically associated with the modification of the duration of hospital stay in this pathology.
Conclusions: the duration of hospital stay can be evaluated preoperatory by using a mathematical model, which takes into consideration factors that depend on the patient or the procedure, with results that can have a significant impact on planning the local resources.

Continuous local infiltration analgesia is equal to femoral and sciatic nerve block for total knee arthroplasty.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
January 2025
Department of Anaesthesia, Main-Kinzig-Kliniken, Herzbachweg 14, 63571, Gelnhausen, Germany.
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain. Pain control is crucial for rapid mobilisation and reduces side effects as well as the length of hospital stay. In this context, a variety of multimodal pain control regimes show good pain relief, including several nerve blocks, iPACK and local infiltration analgesia (LIA).

Robotic extended total extraperitoneal transversus abdominus release for traumatic flank and abdominal intercostal hernias.
Hernia
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Corewell Health East William Beaumont University Hospital, 3601 W 13 Mile Road, Royal Oak, MI, 48073, USA.
Purpose: Traumatic abdominal intercostal/flank hernias present a perplexing challenge for surgeons seeking to repair them. There has been a paucity of studies describing robotic repairs of such hernias. We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of the Robotic-assisted Extended Total Extraperitoneal/Transversus Abdominus Release (rETEP/TAR) method in repairing traumatic abdominal intercostal and flank hernias.

Background: Given the increasing prevalence of antiplatelet agent use and the lack of high-quality evidence, the CAPTAIN trial aimed to investigate the safety and provide recommendations on continuing acetylsalicylic acid perioperatively in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (LIHR).
Methods: The CAPTAIN trial was a multicentre, surgeon blind, randomized controlled trial conducted from April 2016 to April 2023. Patients undergoing LIHR were eligible for inclusion.
