AI Article Synopsis
- Developed a new conceptual model for patient-reported outcome measures (PRO) for ventral hernia (VH) patients by including their input to enhance content validity.
- Conducted interviews and focus groups with VH patients to identify key themes impacting their experiences and satisfaction.
- Established seven important domains affecting patients, including expectations, function, and overall satisfaction, to create a more effective and patient-centered PRO instrument.
Article Abstract
Background: Current hernia patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures were developed without patient input, greatly impairing their content validity.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a conceptual model for PRO measures for ventral hernia (VH) patients.
Methods: Fifteen semi-structured, concept elicitation interviews and two focus groups employing nominal group technique were conducted with VH patients. Patients were recruited between November 2015 and July 2016 over the telephone from a five-surgeon patient cohort at our institution. Iterative thematic analysis identified domains. Reliability and validation were achieved using inter-rater reliability checks and triangulation.
Results: Seven framework domains were established: (1) expectations; (2) self and others; (3) surgeon and surgical team; (4) sensation; (5) function; (6) appearance; and (7) overall satisfaction. Overall patient satisfaction was associated with two themes: (1) provider-patient relationship; and (2) patient assessment of post-repair improvement.
Conclusions: VH patients experience a profoundly broad range of reactions to VH repair. A patient-informed PRO instrument that addresses the spectrum of patient-identified outcomes can guide practice, optimizing care targeting VH patients' needs.

Division of Gastrointestinal and Minimally Invasive Surgery, Department of Surgery, Carolinas Medical Center, 1025 Morehead Medical Drive Suite 300, Charlotte, NC, 28204, USA.
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.

Hernia

Department of Digestive and Oncologic Surgery, Charles Nicolle University Hospital, Rouen Cedex, France.
Purpose: The management of parastomal hernia following cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion is challenging due to its specific nature and a high recurrence rate, yet is poorly described.
Methods: We retrospectively searched the clinical data warehouse of our center for patients who had primary parastomal hernia repair following cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion. The primary endpoint was recurrence of parastomal hernia; secondary endpoints were postoperative complications and surgical management of recurrences.
Prospective, observational study of intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair with defect closure versus SCOLA for primary ventral hernia.
J Minim Access Surg
October 2024
Department of Surgery, Government Medical College, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India.
Introduction: The last decade has witnessed several modifications in the laparoscopic techniques for ventral hernia. The aim of this study was to compare an established repair such as laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair with defect closure (IPOM plus) with subcutaneous onlay endoscopic approach (SCOLA) for medium ventral hernia.
Patients And Methods: From June 2019 to November 2021, 29 patients undergoing IPOM plus and 22 patients undergoing SCOLA for medium ventral hernia (umbilical and epigastric hernia of size 2-4 cm) were included in the study.
Lateral abdominal wall hernias after coughing: a single center experience.
Hernia
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Cleveland Clinic Center for Abdominal Core Health Cleveland Clinic Foundation, 9500 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH, 44195, USA.
Purpose: Forceful coughing is assumed to be an uncommon etiology for lateral abdominal wall hernias. The literature regarding this topic is very limited and there is a lack of consensus in management, both operative and non-operative. We aim to report our center's experience in repair of lateral abdominal wall hernias secondary to vigorous coughing.
