Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) is gaining popularity as an option to abdominal wall hernias. Bulging after remains common this technique. This study evaluates the incidence and factors associated with bulging LVHR. Between 2000 2010, 201 patients underwent LVHR at two affiliated institutions. Patients who developed recurrence or pseudorecurrence (seroma eventration) were analyzed univariate multivariate analyses identify predictors of these complications. Of LVHR, 40 (19.9%) a...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Surgical site infection (SSI) is a common complication of stoma reversal. Studies have suggested that different skin closures affect SSI rates. Our aim was to determine which closure technique following reversal leads the lowest rate SSI. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We conducted retrospective review all adult patients undergoing at single institution (2005-2011) and compared four techniques: primary (PC), secondary...
Background: In 2010, the Ventral Hernia Working Group (VHWG) published a grading system to assess risk of surgical site complications in patients undergoing ventral hernia repair. This study evaluated predictive value VHWG classification for outcomes laparoscopic repair (LVHR) and identified independent factors associated with infection (SSI) occurrence (SSO). Methods: A retrospective review was performed all who underwent LVHR over 10-year period at two institutions. The U.S. Centers...
Objectives: Outcomes after endovascular repair (EVAR) of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAAs) have been widely published. There is, however, controversy on the role use aortouniiliac endoprosthesis (AUI) versus modular or unibody bifurcated (MUB) for rAAAs. We study and compare 30-day outcomes AUI MUB all rAAAs focusing specifically patients with instability. Materials Methods: Patients who underwent EVAR rAAA (n = 425) using 55; 12.9%) 370; 87.1%) were identified from American...
