Background And Aims: Postoperative ileus (POI) is one of the most common reasons for sustained hospital stays after ileostomy repair. Although many factors have been investigated as POI risk factors, the investigation of the impact of prior abdominal surgery (PAS) before rectal cancer surgery has been limited. This study aimed to identify the impact of PAS as a risk factor for POI after ileostomy repair.
Material And Methods: A total of 220 consecutive patients with rectal cancer who underwent ileostomy repair were enrolled. The patients were divided into PAS-positive and PAS-negative groups according to the history of PAS before rectal cancer surgery. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the clinicopathological factors associated with POI.
Results: The PAS-positive group had a longer operation time (111 min vs. 93.4 min, p=0.029) and a greater length of hospital stay (10 days vs. 7.8 days, p=0.003) compared with the PAS-negative group. POI was more frequent in the PAS-positive group (23.1% vs. 6.2%, p=0.011). The POI rate in the entire cohort was 8.1%. The repair method (stapled side-to-side vs. hand-sewn end-to-end, odds ratio OR=3.6, 95% confidence interval CI=1.2-11.1, p=0.022) and PAS (odds ratio=4.0, 95% confidence interval=1.2-12.8, p=0.017) were significant predictors of POI in the multivariate analysis.
Conclusions: This study suggests that PAS before rectal cancer surgery is associated with POI after ileostomy repair.

Purpose: To present updated outcomes after previously describing a novel technique for the robotic repair of parastomal hernias.
Methods: Patients who underwent parastomal hernia repair with a robotic Sugarbaker technique at a tertiary hernia center were identified from an institutional database. The approach involves mesh placement in the intraperitoneal or preperitoneal position after closure of the fascial defect.

BACKGROUND Open injury of multiple organs in the chest and abdomen, such as the colon, duodenum, kidney, liver and diaphragm, is relatively rare. The rescue of such a patient is difficult, and the results are often unsatisfactory. It is also a challenge for the hospital and doctors.

Background Ileal perforations represent one of the most common surgical emergencies in India, associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates. The causes of these perforations include infections such as tuberculosis and enteric fever, as well as malignancy and trauma. Management options encompass ileostomy, resection with anastomosis, and primary closure.

Article Synopsis
- Surgeons face a choice between single-stage or delayed repair for contaminated ventral hernias, and this study compares outcomes of both methods regarding wound complications, hernia recurrence, and quality of life.
- Data was analyzed from patients who had abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) with synthetic mesh from January 2014 to August 2023, assessing outcomes for those who had delayed and single-staged repairs.
- Findings showed that both groups had similar rates of wound complications, reoperations, and hernia recurrence, suggesting that either repair method might be equally effective in this context.

Background: Open parastomal hernia repairs (OPHR) are complex with high recurrence rates and no clear optimal technique. This report summarizes long-term OPHR outcomes at a high-volume hernia center.
Methods: OPHRs were identified from a prospectively maintained institutional database.
