Objective: To describe the outcomes of RVHR with varying prosthetic reinforcement techniques. Summary Background Data: As a recent addition to minimally invasive hernia repair, more data is needed establish long-term benefits and identify potential predictors adverse outcomes. Methods: Patients who underwent over 7-year period were evaluated. Robotic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (rIPOM), transabdominal preperitoneal (rTAPP), Rives-Stoppa (rRS), transversus abdominis release (rTAR) techniques...
Accessory breast tissue is a remnant persisting after normal embryological development of the breast. Although accessory breasts may be asymptomatic, they can cause discomfort during menstruation, anxiety, cosmetic problems, pain, or restriction arm movement. The data all patients who presented with axillary between January 2000 and September 2008 were recruited from computer database. Medical charts, outpatient records, operative notes, pathology reports reviewed. A total 29 underwent...
Background: Robotic Rives-Stoppa ventral hernia repair (rRS-VHR) is a minimally invasive technique that incorporates extraperitoneal mesh placement, using either transabdominal or totally access. An understanding of its learning curve and technical challenges may guide encourage adoption. We aim at evaluating the rRS-VHR based on operative times while accounting for adverse outcomes. Materials Methods: conducted retrospective analysis patients undergoing rRS centrally located incisional...
Background: Minimally invasive abdominal wall reconstruction, utilizing transversus abdominis release (TAR), has been described and shown to be beneficial for ventral hernia repair (VHR). Limited literature is available surrounding the hybrid robotic TAR (h-rTAR) approach, which combines dissection component separation with open fascial defect closure mesh deployment. In this study, we describe our h-rTAR technique present center's postoperative patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Methods:...
Background. There are no studies on the role of robotics in emergency ventral hernia repair (EVHR). We aimed to compare outcomes robotic EVHR (REVHR) and open (OEVHR). Methods. performed a retrospective study EVHRs between 2013 2019. Patients who underwent an elective setting patients had concomitant non-abdominal wall procedures were excluded. Pre-, intra-, postoperative variables compared. Univariate multivariate analyses performed. Results. In all, 43 OEVHR as compared 35 REVHR. The both...
Background: Cumulative sum (CUSUM) learning curves (LCs) are useful to analyze individual performance and evaluate the acquisition of new skills evolution those as experience is accumulated. The purpose this study present a CUSUM LC based on operative times robotic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (rIPOM) ventral hernia repair (VHR) identify differences observed throughout its phases. Materials Methods: Patients who underwent rIPOM for elective, midline, primary hernias were included. All...
