Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair is considered a common and safe procedure. Here, we present the case of a 31-year-old male with right indirect inguinal hernia and no medical history. The patient underwent laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair and the operation was completed successfully. During extubation, subcutaneous emphysema was noted at the neck, chest, and above the nipples. Tracheal injury was excluded by the anaesthesiologists and otorhinolaryngologists. On arterial blood gas, the patient's oxygen saturation was 95% with nasal oxygen support. The patient was followed-up closely in the general surgery inpatient clinic. Computed tomography was performed, on which bilateral pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum were noted. Conservative management was planned and the patient was discharged on the fourth postoperative day. Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair is considered a routinely applied safe procedure, however, appropriate care should be taken to avoid possible complications.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assesses surgeon efficiency when transitioning from laparoscopic to robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair across multiple centers and surgeons.
  • Experienced surgeons with no prior robotic experience participated, measuring efficiency by procedure durations and outcomes post-surgery.
  • The results show that surgeons improved their efficiency over time, especially in unilateral repairs during the mid-phase of the study, although variations existed between individuals and factors like practice patterns and external circumstances impacted the results.

Chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) after pediatric inguinal hernia repair-a retrospective analysis.

Hernia

Department of General, Visceral, Transplant, Vascular and Pediatric Surgery, University Hospital of Wuerzburg, Wuerzburg, Germany.

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).

Background & Aims: Hernia is a very common surgical condition affecting all ages and both sexes. Data regarding abdominal wall hernias is essential to hernia management in an institution. With the absence of data regarding the prevalence, characteristics, and associations of abdominal wall hernias in Sudanese patients, we aimed to describe and find the possible differences in the spectrum of abdominal hernias, their rates, and associated predisposing factors.

Spigelian hernia and cryptorchidism syndrome in children is increasingly reported in the literature. A variety of phenotypes have been reported, so diagnostic approaches and operative techniques remain poorly defined. The case of an infant male who presented with a left spigelian hernia and ipsilateral cryptorchidism who was initially misdiagnosed with an ectopic inguinal testis is presented.
