Purpose: These days laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery, both totally extraperitoneal (TEP) and transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP), is a commonly performed procedure due to advancements in laparoscopic instruments and the availability of skilled laparoscopic surgeons. The purpose of this study was to compare the perioperative complications of these two procedures.
Methods: This was a prospective observational study between July 2019 and December 2020. Perioperative complications were compared with a 6-month follow-up. It included 144 patients, of whom 71 underwent TAPP repair and 73 underwent TEP repair. The selection was based on the surgeon's choice.
Results: Early postoperative complications were scrotal edema (12 cases in TEP and 16 in TAPP), urinary retention (one case in TEP), ecchymosis (six cases in TEP and two in TAPP), and scrotal subcutaneous emphysema (two cases in TEP). On follow-up, seroma was found in a total of 22 cases, of which 12 were TEP and 10 were TAPP. While only one case of TAPP developed surgical site infection. There was no statistically significant difference in hospital stay between the two groups ( = 0.58). The pain scores significantly decreased throughout recovery and were comparable between the groups. Neither group experienced a recurrence during the 6-month follow-up. Fifty-eight patients developed Clavien-Dindo grade I complications, one had grade II, and three had grade IIIa complications.
Conclusion: With the increasing experience of the surgical fraternity in laparoscopic surgery, TEP and TAPP were proven to be comparable in terms of duration of surgery, postoperative complications, hospital stay, pain scores, and recurrence during the 6-month follow-up.

Background: To demonstrate the safety and performance of the Arrow EZ-IO Intraosseous Vascular Access System, particularly in the pediatric patient population, a retrospective observational study was conducted in 2021 and 2022.
Methods: Following study design, IRB approval, and investigator selection, data were collected for all patients needing intraosseous access-adult and pediatric. The primary endpoint was the success rate for achieving intraosseous access; the secondary endpoint was the rate of adverse events.

Introduction: In inguinal hernia repair, mesh weight and pore size are used to describe the mesh characteristics. One meta-analysis of laparo-endoscopic inguinal hernia repairs identified 12 prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 2,909 patients who had all been treated with lightweight (≤ 50 g/m²) or heavyweight (> 70 g/m²) meshes. None of the 12 RCTs gave details of the pore size.

Totally extraperitoneal (TEP) surgeries were considered contraindicated in patients who underwent lower abdominal surgery until recently. However, in recent surgeries, it has been reported that they can be performed safely in those cases. Our aim in this study is to investigate the effectiveness of laparoscopic hernia repair methods in patients who have and have not had lower abdominal surgery before.

Background: Out-of-hours medical emergencies are common in acute hospitals, and are often attended by staff who are unfamiliar with the patient's clinical background. Information in the hospital notes may or may not include guidance about how best to deal with clinical deterioration. The use of Treatment Escalation Plans (TEPs) attempts to address these deficiencies.

Background: Minimal invasive inguinal hernia repair is conducted using among others the laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) procedure or the extended totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) approach. Robotic-assisted TAPP (R-TAPP) has recently been introduced as an alternative to laparoscopic TAPP and TEP, and a growing number of robotic-assisted procedures are performed worldwide. The present study was conducted to determine the risk of chronic pain and recurrence associated with the two methods.
