Surg Endosc 2017 06 6;31(6):2548-2559. Epub 2016 Dec 6.

Carolinas Hernia Center, Division of Gastrointestinal and Minimally Invasive Surgery, Department of Surgery, Carolinas Medical Center, 1025 Morehead Medical Dr., Suite 300, Charlotte, NC, 28204, USA.

Background: Transabdominal, preperitoneal (TAPP), laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (IHR) requires the creation of a peritoneal flap (PF) that must be closed after mesh placement. Our previous study indicated that sutured PF closure resulted in less short-term postoperative pain at 2 and 4 weeks compared to tacks and staples. Therefore, the aim of this follow-up study was to compare short-term QOL with a greater sample size and long-term QOL at 2 years by method of PF closure.

Materials And Methods: A prospective institutional hernia-specific database was assessed for all adult TAPP IHRs from July 2012 to May 2015. QOL outcomes were compared by PF closure method at 2 and 4 weeks and 6, 12, and 24 months as measured by the Carolinas Comfort Scale. Standard statistical tests were used for the whole population and then the Bonferroni Correction was used to compare groups (p < 0.0167). Multivariate analysis controlling for age, gender, recurrent hernias, and preoperative symptomatic pain was used to compare QOL by PF closure method.

Results: A total of 679 TAPP IHRs in 466 patients were analyzed; 253 were unilateral, and 213 were bilateral. PF closure was performed using tacks in 36.7 %, suture in 24.3 %, and staples in 39.0 %. There was no difference in hernia recurrence (only 1 patient at 36 months). There were no statistical differences in QOL between 2 and 4 weeks and 6- to 24-month follow-up. When resolution of symptoms from preoperative levels was examined, there was no difference in the three groups at any time point (p > 0.05). After controlling for confounding variables on multivariate analysis, there was no difference in QOL by PF closure method at any time point (p > 0.05).

Conclusion: Tacked, sutured, and stapled techniques for peritoneal flap closure following TAPP have no significant differences in operative outcomes, postoperative quality of life, or resolution of symptoms.

Negative-pressure wound therapy in combination with bronchial occlusion to treat bronchopleural fistula: a case report.

Authors:
Masashi Iwasaki Masanori Shimomura Tsunehiro Ii

Surg Case Rep 2021 Mar 2;7(1):61. Epub 2021 Mar 2.

Department of General Thoracic Surgery, Ayabe City Hospital, 20-1 Otsuka, Aono-cho, Ayabe, Kyoto, 623-0011, Japan.

Background: Bronchopleural fistula, which usually accompanies bronchial fistula and empyema, is a severe complication of lung cancer surgery. Negative-pressure wound therapy can enhance drainage and reduce the empyema cavity, potentially leading to early recovery. This therapy is not currently indicated for bronchopleural fistulas because of the risk of insufficient respiration due to air loss from the fistula. Read More

Clinical Importance of a Peritoneal Interposition Flap to Prevent Symptomatic Lymphoceles after Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy and Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Authors:
Sebastian Deutsch Boris Hadaschik Steffen Lebentrau Burkhard Ubrig Max Burger Matthias May

Urol Int 2021 Feb 10:1-7. Epub 2021 Feb 10.

Department of Urology, St. Elisabeth-Hospital Straubing, Brothers of Mercy Hospital, Straubing, Germany.

Background: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) including pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is the current state of the art in surgical therapy of localized prostate cancer with intermediate or high risk. PLND in particular is associated with morbidity inherent to this method; the rate of symptomatic lymphoceles (sLCs), for example, ranges up to 10%.

Objective: Various intraoperative modifications have been developed with the aim of reducing the sLC rate. Read More
