Abstract Background The establishment of a successful Robotic Abdominal Wall Service (AWS) at Golden Jubilee National Hospital (GJNH) in Glasgow, underscores the necessity dedicated abdominal wall service for superior patient outcomes. current landscape hernia surgery is characterised by inconsistent surgical practices, long wait times, and variable care delivery. Robotic-assisted surgery, well-established across Europe, has demonstrated significant advantages, including reduced blood loss,...
Mesh is recommended for the repair of most hernias when prevention recurrence primary endpoint. However, mesh may be associated with increased complications patient. The aim this study was to quantify use abdominal wall hernia surgery in NHS England recent years.The Digital Secondary Uses Service database 2016/17 and 2017/18 interrogated numbers patient undergoing elective surgery. Using specific code inguinal (T201-9), umbilical (T241-9), incisional (T251-9) other (T271-9), or suture...
Laparoscopic repair is becoming an increasingly popular alternative in the treatment of abdominal wall hernias. In spite numerous studies evaluating this technique, indications for laparoscopic surgery have not been established. Similarly, implant selection and fixation techniques unified are subject scientific discussion.To assess whether there a consensus on management most common ventral hernias among recognised experts.Fourteen specialists representing boards European surgical societies...
Abstract Introduction The management of CBDS (common bile duct stones) in patients with co-existing gallbladder stones has been debated. Guidelines recommend identified on imaging should be offered clearance; however, this is based low-quality evidence. This study aimed to investigate the natural history small using IOUS (intraoperative ultrasound) undergoing cholecystectomy. may provide evidence support a short-term expectant approach such patients. Methods Patients diagnosed during...
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) are acceptable options for primary bariatric procedures in patients with body mass index (BMI) 35-55 kg/m(2).The aim of this study is to compare the effects these two 6, 12 24 months after surgery.Two hundred were included 72 LSG 130 LAGB patients. The average age was 38.8 ±11.9 39.4 ±10.4 years groups, initial BMI 44.1 kg/m(2) 45.2 kg/m(2), p = NS.The mean percentage excess weight loss (%EWL) at 6 vs....
Hemorrhoidal disease is one of the commonest anorectal disorders worldwide. Stapled hemorrhoidopexy (SH) a treatment modality associated with low postoperative pain and early mobilization.To assess long-term outcomes after SH.All 326 patients who underwent SH in 1999-2003 were invited by mail to participate. For each patient we analyzed their medical records, conducted questionnaire survey digital rectal examination.Only 91 attended final examination mean ± SD follow-up time was 8.7 ±1.2...
Introduction Many patients undergoing cardiac surgery have risk factors for both atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke. The left appendage (LAA) is the primary site thrombi formation. most severe complication of emboli derived from LAA stroke, which associated with a 12-month mortality rate 38% recurrence 17%. common form treatment stroke prevention pharmacological therapy anticoagulants. Nonetheless this high major bleeding. Therefore occlusion devices should be tested their ability to reduce...
Inguinal hernia repair and cholecystectomy are amongst the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. In recent decades, early disease detection has notably increased due to easily accessible ultrasound. The aim of study was assess safety possibility performing a simultaneous using laparoscopic approach.Eight patients (M=100%) with inguinal (3 bilateral hernia) cholelithiasis were included in study. presence gallstones confirmed by imaging. Mean age 61.75 years (ranging from...

The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a small, finger-like extension of the atrium and its exclusion used as treatment strategy to prevent ischemic stroke. Existing holdfast devices may damage tissue, are unisized not adjustable. A novel device for LAA devoid these shortcomings was designed 3D-printed using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology with polyamide powder tested it on animal model. We selected SLS 3D printing due wid14e availability low production costs which could provide...
