An original procedure is suggested for the prosthetic treatment of major incisional hernias: transversus abdominalis muscle desinsertion. The aim is to create an opening between two cleavage planes which are the underperitoneal space externally and the posterior face of the rectus abdominalis muscle internally. The single space thus created allows the wide implantation of a subperitoneal Mersilene prosthesis which is isolated from the viscera as well as from the skin. A strong abdominal wall is then reconstituted. Ten patients were operated upon using this technique with excellent results in all cases.

Optical Trocar Access for Retroperitoneal Robotic-Assisted Pyeloplasty in Children with Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction.

Retroperitoneal robotic-assisted pyeloplasty (ret-RAP) for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) requires a larger retroperitoneal space (RS) to maintain specified distances between robotic (da Vinci) trocars and between trocars and the region of interest. A modified closed technique (MOT) and conventional closed technique (COT) were compared for creating an adequate RS with optical trocars. RS access in children with UPJO who underwent ret-RAP ( = 30) was MOT ( = 15) and COT ( = 15).

Background: Sarcopenia and malnutrition are commonly seen and fundamental indicators of prognosis and are directly associated with increased mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. We aimed to reveal the frequency of malnutrition and sarcopenia in patients undergoing MHD and investigate the role of muscle ultrasound (US) parameters to predict sarcopenia and malnutrition.
Methods: A total of 45 patients who have undertaken MHD for more than 6 months three times a week were evaluated for the present study.

Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Istanbul Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital, Health Sciences University, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: To date, there are limited studies evaluating abdominal muscle symmetry in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients and these studies in the literature do not evaluate the rectus abdominis (RA) muscle in AIS patients.
Aim: To evaluate the symmetry of the thickness of the abdominal muscles while standing and supine position in AIS patients.
Design: A case control study.
