To date, the exact pathophysiology of haemorrhoids is poorly understood. The different philosophies on aetiology may lead to approaches treatment. A pathogenic theory involving a correlation between altered anal canal microflora, local inflammation, and muscular dyssynergia proposed through an extensive review literature. Since middle twentieth century, three main theories exist: (1) varicose vein theory, (2) vascular hyperplasia (3) concept sliding lining. These phenomena determine changes...
Abstract The laparoscopic approach represents the standard of treatment for renal and adrenal diseases, its use is increasing even outside referral centres. Although most procedures are routinely performed, intraoperative complications do not occur, rate predictive factors these have been established. aim this study was to evaluate incidence type identify in patients undergoing surgery. This a cohort, multicentre, international retrospective study. Patients who underwent surgeries between...
Compared to other types of abdominal protrusions, Spigelian hernias are not very common. In prosthetic repair mesh fixation and defect overlap an open issue, as they a source complications. A newly developed tentacle-shaped has been used ensure fixation-free with broader in the hernias. This study describes long-term results carried out tentacle mesh. proprietary composed central body integrated radiating arms was for repairing 54 patients. The implant positioned preperitoneal sublay, straps...
Background: The Lichtenstein open anterior approach with static flat meshes, the most popular inguinal hernia repair technique, has raised concerns regarding mesh fixation, defect patency, and poor quality biological response. To address these issues, 3D dynamic ProFlor scaffold promoting a fixation-free obliteration been developed as an alternative. Methods: results of compared those were evaluated. Results: In time frame 24 months, two cohorts patients enrolled, 95 in group 93 group....

Introduction. Esophageal achalasia is a rare primary motility disorder characterized by impaired lower esophageal sphincter relaxation and absence of body peristalsis. Achalasia classified the Chicago Classification in type I, II III. The present study evaluates how use intraoperative high resolution manometry (IHREM), driving exact extension myotomy throughout esophagus, could improve outcome achalasic patients, expecially III achalasia. Materials Methods: 49 patients underwent laparoscopic...
