OBJECTIVE
Transfascial sutures (TFS) are a standard component of laparoscopic ventral herniorrhaphy (LVHR) that contribute to the durability of repair, but also pain and, resultantly, hospital stay. We sought to examine LVHR without TFS in obese patients with small abdominal wall
BACKGROUND
The main clinical consequence of sliding hiatal hernia (SHH) is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Endoscopy and barium swallow X-ray are commonly used to diagnose SHH. We aimed to assess the clinical utility of endoscopy and X-ray in the diagnosis of SHH in morbidly obese patients
OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes after inguinal hernia repair in overweight and obese patients.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 636 adult patients who underwent mesh plug inguinal hernia repair performed by one surgeon from November 2001 to
OBJECTIVE
Metalloproteinases are a key component of the pathogenesis of abdominal hernias. Obesity is considered a risk factor in herniogenesis and hernia recurrence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum concentrations of metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, MMP-13, and adiponectin in
Repair of hernias with loss of domain in obese patients can lead to acute respiratory failure.
The objective of this study was to analyze preoperative progressive pneumoperitoneum (PPP) in increasing abdominal cavity volume and its impact on respiratory function.
The study was conducted at the
BACKGROUND
The optimal method of umbilical hernia repair (UHR) in the obese population, laparoscopic vs open, is not standardized. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal surgical option for UHR in the obese population.
METHODS
A retrospective chart review was conducted on 123 obese
Many physicians insist patients lose weight before their hiatal hernia (HH) condition and related symptoms including intermittent esophageal dysphagia (IED) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can be treated, but it is not proven that body mass index (BMI) has an impact on BACKGROUND
Esophageal reflux is common in obese patients. Hiatal hernia is considered a potential contraindication to placement of a Lap-Band.
METHODS
Esophageal investigation in patients who were candidates for a Lap-Band included clinical evaluation of symptoms (scoring system), endoscopic and
BACKGROUND
Obesity predisposes to incisional herniation and increased the incidence of recurrence after conventional open repair. Only sparse data on the safety and security of laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) for morbidly obese patients are available. This study compared the incidence of
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate our experience with LVHR in morbidly obese patients (BMI >40) and to compare their outcomes to those of patients with lower BMI.
METHODS
Data on adult (>18 years old) patients who underwent LVHR with mesh over the last 13 years performed by four
Although ventral hernias can usually be diagnosed by palpation, this method is imprecise in massively obese patients. In the case we have described, computerized tomography was used to confirm the presence of a ventral hernia in a morbidly obese woman. We recommend the use of this technique when a
The laparoscopic approach to inguinal hernia repair (IHR) has proven beneficial in reducing postoperative pain and facilitating earlier return to normal activity. Except for indications such as recurrent or bilateral inguinal hernias, there remains a paucity of data that specifically identities
The authors refer results of surgical treatment of incarcerated ventral hernias in patients with morbid obesity. In the 3rd Department of Surgery of the Comenius University Medical Faculty in Bratislava, 4 obese patients (BMI over 40) were operated for incarcerated ventral hernias in 2007. Based on
OBJECTIVE
This study analyzes a role of laparoscopy in obese patients with ventral hernia.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic compared with open ventral hernia repair (VHR) in obese patients.
METHODS
Retrospective cohort analysis.
METHODS
Nationwide hospital survey.
METHODS
Obese
Aggressive perioperative management, with progressive preoperative pneumoperitoneum, is a worthy method of repairing massive ventral hernias with associated loss of domain in morbidly obese patients. The authors present a case and its successful outcome.
