Background: To evaluate the effectiveness of abdominal compression devices after external hernia repair.
Methods: A search was conducted for randomized controlled trials on the application of abdominal compression devices after abdominal hernia repair surgery in databases such as Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform. The retrieval deadline was from the establishment of the database to November 2024. Two researchers independently assessed the risk of bias of the included studies and extracted relevant data using pre designed tables. RevMan 5.4 software was used for statistical analysis.
Results: Ten articles were included, with a total of 1081 patients undergoing abdominal hernia repair surgery. The systematic review and meta-analysis results showed no statistically significant difference in the incidence of wound infection (relative risk [RR] = 0.41, P > .05), wound bleeding (RR = 0.56, P > .05), perineal hematoma (RR = 0.93, P > .05), or wound infection (RR = 0.40, P > .05). In terms of pain, subgroup analysis was performed to determine the incidence of wound infection (RR = 0.41), wound bleeding (RR = 0.56, P > .05), perineal hematoma (RR = 0.93, P > .05), and recurrence (RR = 0.70, P > .05) between the compression group and non-compression group. In terms of pain, subgroup analysis showed that the postoperative use of abdominal bands to compress the surgical area could reduce pain (mean difference [MD] = -1.17, P < .01), while the use of sandbags was not recommended, while the use of sandbags to compress the surgical area increased pain (MD = 1.09, P < .01).
Conclusion: After abdominal hernia repair surgery, the use of abdominal compression devices had no significant effect on reducing the incidence of serum swelling, wound infection, and recurrence compared to the method of removing compression. After abdominal hernia repair surgery, the use of abdominal compression devices had no significant effect on reducing the incidence of serum swelling, wound infection, and recurrence compared to the method of removing compression. Abdominal band compression has a significant effect on reducing pain, whereas sandbag compression can increase pain.

The major complication of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is sudden rupture with an associated high mortality rate. The only clinical classifier for the risk of AAA rupture is the size of the aneurysm or its maximum diameter. We reviewed the role of intraluminal thrombus (ILT) by investigating the motion of both the lumen and wall surfaces of ILT throughout the cardiac cycle.

BACKGROUND Post-prandial abdominal pain due to bowel ischemia can be caused by stenosis (atherosclerosis) or by compression of the arteries of the celiac axis. Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) results from compression at the origin of the celiac trunk by the arcuate ligament. This report describes a 66-year-old woman with chronic post-prandial epigastric pain associated with atherosclerosis of the celiac trunk, managed with angioplasty and stenting combined with MALS.

Purpose: To investigate the utility of implanted cardiac leads or the diaphragm for active respiratory motion management in stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) by quantifying the relationship between their motions.
Methods And Materials: Seven patients treated with STAR were imaged using 5 Hz bi-planar, kV x-ray fluoroscopy for 15-20 seconds under both abdominal compression (AC) and free breathing (FB) conditions. 3D motion traces for different regions of the heart were acquired by tracking and triangulating the position of all implanted cardiac leads.

F-FDG PET/CT is crucial for cancer diagnosis; however, respiratory motion often causes misregistration between PET and CT images. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a custom-made respiratory motion reduction block (RRB) in reducing misregistration and improving image quality in F-FDG PET/CT. The RRB was developed to minimize the effects of respiratory motion.

Pelvic ring fractures are often accompanied by complications, including vascular injuries such as life-threatening intra-abdominal bleeding and urinary tract damage resulting from direct external force. While urethral and bladder injuries are the most common urologic complications, testicular dislocation is rarely reported. Traumatic testicular dislocation (TTD), although uncommon, is frequently associated with motorcycle accidents and remains relatively unfamiliar to orthopedic surgeons, which can lead to delayed diagnosis.
