Aim: Study of the results of the use of titanium thread mesh implants in the treatment of postoperative ventral hernias.
Methods: The study included 84 patients with postoperative ventral hernias. All performed open-access prosthetic hernioplasty. 2 groups were formed: the main group consisted of 32 patients who used a mesh implant made of titanium thread as an implant, the comparison group consisted of 52 patients whose hernioplasty was performed using a polypropylene mesh implant. There were no statistically significant differences between groups of patients by age, gender, average body mass index, risk class of anesthesia (ASA), size and location of hernias.
Results: The frequency of postoperative complications in the main group was 6.2%, in the comparison group - 3.8%. There were no statistically significant differences in this indicator between the groups. At the time of discharge from the hospital, the level of plasma C-reactive protein in patients of the main group was significantly lower than in patients of the comparison group.
Conclusion: The use of titanium thread mesh implants in the treatment of postoperative ventral hernias is accompanied by a less inflammatory response of the body to the implant and does not lead to an increase in the frequency of postoperative complications.

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: The transoral transpharyngeal odontoidectomy, followed by occipitocervical fixation, have traditionally been a recognized method for ameliorating ventral compression at the craniovertebral junction (CVJ), despite its associated comorbidities. As an alternative, the endoscopic endonasal odontoid resection is a viable approach for various CVJ abnromalities that preserve the oropharynx and leads to fewer procedure-related complications(1-4). We present our case to detail the technical nuances of the procedure and its advantages over other techniques.

Hypospadias is the absence of external urethral meatus in the tip of the glans but present in the ventral surface of the penis. Hypospadias surgery is challenging and changing. Many modifications have been done to reduce the complications.

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.
