Purpose: This study aims to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic versus open repair techniques in patients undergoing emergency surgery for incarcerated incisional hernia in a tertiary care setting.
Methods: A prospective evaluation was conducted on 45 patients who underwent emergency laparoscopic and open repair for incarcerated incisional hernia between 2018 and August 2021. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical technique used: laparoscopic (n = 15) and open repair (n = 30). Key variables analysed included demographic data, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists scores, operative time, perioperative bleeding, length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, European Hernia Society Quality of Life pain score, and recurrence rates during follow-up.
Results: Significant differences were found between the laparoscopic and open repair groups regarding pain scores, length of hospital stay, and amount of perioperative bleeding. The laparoscopic repair group demonstrated reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and less perioperative bleeding compared to the open repair group.
Conclusion: This study shows that laparoscopic repair for incarcerated incisional hernia offers significant advantages over open repair. These findings support the preference for laparoscopic repair in the emergency surgical management of incarcerated incisional hernia in appropriate patients.

Staged hybrid approach for acute type A aortic dissection: zone 2 arch replacement and completion thoracic endovascular aortic repair upon indication.
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, Netherlands.
Objectives: This study evaluates a staged selective hybrid approach for acute type A aortic dissection. The approach involves a zone 2 aortic arch replacement with debranching of the brachiocephalic trunk and left common carotid artery to create a landing zone for thoracic endovascular aortic repair. This repair is performed either preemptively in the subacute phase to promote remodelling or electively in the chronic phase to manage aneurysm formation.

The D1 subunit of photosystem II is subject to photooxidative damage. Photodamaged D1 must be replaced with nascent D1 to maintain photosynthesis. In plant chloroplasts, D1 photodamage regulates D1 synthesis by modulating translation initiation on psbA mRNA encoding D1.

Department of General Surgery, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC, USA.
Purpose: As the use of robotic platforms for inguinal hernia repairs continues to grow, the rTAPP (Robotic Trans-Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal) approach is being performed significantly more often than rTEP (Robotic Totally Extra-Peritoneal) and is predominantly taught to newly trained robotic surgeons. This study's primary objective was to evaluate the feasibility of a proposed modified rTEP technique that incorporates balloon dissection as a primary tool, enabling the horizontal placement of three trocars aligned with the umbilicus. Secondary objectives included evaluation of safety and effectiveness of this technique, and of the learning curve required to reach proficiency.

Introduction: Abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) is associated with significant post-operative pain for which there is no standardized treatment regimen. Quadratus lumborum (QL) blocks have not been studied in open ventral hernia repair. This study reviews our institution's experience with QL blocks in open AWR.
