Introduction: The careful selection of patients for hernia repair in ambulatory surgery centres is critical to prevent unanticipated inpatient admissions. The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors associated with inpatient admission.
Methods: A multivariable logistic regression was performed utilising the ACS NSQIP database from 2007 to 2016. The primary outcome was same-day hospital discharge. The primary exposure variable was preoperative functional status. Additional covariates included sex, obesity, age, smoking status, steroid use, dyspnoea, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, hypertension, bleeding disorder, dialysis-dependence and American Society of Anesthesiologists classification score.
Results: A total of 194,822 patients underwent hernia repair in the outpatient setting; 8705 (4.5%) required hospital admission. The variables with the most significantly increased odds for hospital admission were partially dependent and totally dependent preoperative functional status.
Conclusion: A non-independent baseline functional status is the strongest predictor of need for admission following outpatient hernia repair.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of Trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopic complete extraperitoneal closure (LCEC) and laparoscopic intracorporeal closure (LIC) for inguinal hernia by analysis of follow-up data over 5 years.
Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled trial, 524 children with inguinal hernia were randomly assigned to undergo LCEC or LIC between August 2016 and December 2017. The primary outcome measures were the success and recurrence rates.

Background: Available reports of surgeon efficiency when transitioning from laparoscopic to robotic-assisted (RA) inguinal hernia repair (IHR) are retrospective or describe single-center experience. The purpose of this study is to provide a prospective, multi-surgeon, multi-center assessment of surgeon efficiency when transitioning from Lap-IHR to RA-IHR.
Methods: General surgeons with Lap-IHR experience (≥300 Lap-IHRs prior to the study) but with no robotic experience (no RA cases one year prior to the study) consented to participate in this prospective, observational pilot study of their surgical efficiency as they adopted RA-IHR.

Background: Surgical treatment of inguinal hernias in children is one of the most common operative procedures worldwide. During surgery for inguinal hernias in adults, chronic pain develops in approximately 10% of all cases. In children, there has been limited research to determine whether they may also develop this chronic postsurgical inguinal pain (CPIP).

Introduction: Abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) with ventral hernia repair (VHR) in the setting of contamination poses unique and controversial challenges. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of onlay resorbable biosynthetic mesh against underlay biologic mesh in contaminated VHR with AWR.
Methods: A single-center retrospective review from 2015 to 2021 was performed examining subjects who underwent VHR with AWR in contaminated fields (Centers for Disease Control wound class II-IV).

Abdominal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure, involving in most cases the use of textile meshes providing a mechanical barrier to consolidate the damaged surrounding tissues and prevent the resurgence of the hernia. However, in more than half cases postoperative complications such as adhesions and infections occur at the surface of the mesh, leading to chronic pain for the patient and requiring the removal of the implant. One of the most promising strategies to reduce the risk of postoperative adhesions and infections is to add a physical barrier between the mesh and the abdominal walls.
