Risks Assessment

Hernia can be defined as an organ disorder which protrudes the wall that contains it. Synthetic material for the repair of the abdominal wall are used frequently with good results and less complications. Our research included a number of 135 patients diagnosed with inguinal hernia hospitalized and operated in Clinical County Hospital of Craiova, between 1st January 2017-31 October 2017. The purpose of our work was to identify and analyze comorbidities and complications for inguinal hernia repaired with synthetic prosthetic material. hernia repair was performed in 135 patients, 16 were women and 119 were men. Tension free meshplasty was accomplished in 131 patients with uncomplicated inguinal hernia and herniorrhaphy was successfully performed at 4 patients with complicated inguinal hernia. From our study 107 patients had a remarkable recovery without any complication. Patients who underwent tension-free hernia surgery using prosthetic mesh,short-term complications were represented by 19 patients with urinary retention, 6 surgical local infection (superficial infections) and 2 scrotal edema. Nowadays surgeons try to find the best elective repair of inguinal hernia,to be safety for the patients despite of their age and with few complications and low mortality rate. Risks assessment include general conditions and associated comorbidities of the patients. In our study we reveal the type of comorbidities which we meet. We considered that it is significant to optimize cardiopulmonary status and the other comorbidities of the patient before to repair abdominal wall hernia in order to avoid both short and long term complication.

BACKGROUND Hernia repairs account for millions of general surgical procedures performed each year worldwide, with a notable shift to outpatient settings over the last decades. As technical possibilities such as smartphones, tablets, and different kinds of probes are becoming more and more available, such systems have been evaluated for applications in various clinical settings. However, there have been few studies conducted in the surgical field, especially in general surgery. OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the feasibility of a tablet-based follow up to monitor activity levels after repair of abdominal wall hernias and to evaluate a possible reduction of adverse events by their earlier recognition. METHODS Patients scheduled for elective surgical repair of minor abdominal wall hernias (eg, inguinal, umbilical, or trocar hernias) were equipped with a telemonitoring system, including a tablet, pulse oximeter, and actimeter, for a monitoring phase of 7 days before and 30 days after surgery. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed. RESULTS We enrolled 16 patients with a mean overall age of 48.75 (SD 16.27) years. Preoperative activity levels were reached on postoperative day 12 with a median of 2242 (IQR 0-4578) steps after plunging on the day of surgery. The median proportion of available activity measurements over the entire study period of 38 days was 69% (IQR 56%-81%). We observed a gradual decrease in the proportion of available data for all parameters during the postoperative course. Six out of ten patients (60%) regained preoperative activity levels within 3 weeks after surgery. Overall, patients rated the usability of the system as relatively easy. CONCLUSIONS Tablet-based follow up is feasible after surgical repair of minor abdominal wall hernias, with good adherence rates during the first couple of weeks after surgery. Thus, such a system could be a useful tool to supplement or even replace traditional outpatient follow up in selected general surgical patients.

The aim of the work. To analyze the world achievements in modern diagnostic and treatment tactics in patients with strangulated ventral hernias, as well as to outline promising and pragmatic directions for further research. The literature review presents current trends and views on the choice of individual components of the integrated diagnostic approach in patients with strangulated ventral hernias, and focuses on various principles of therapeutic tactics. The need to further improve the examination methods of abdominal organs, anterior abdominal wall, hernia contents (polypositional roentgenoscopy or roentgenography, ultrasound, CT, MRI) is emphasized and prospects of allohernioplasty and videolaparoscopic technologies with an integrated approach in choosing the method for correction or reconstruction of abdominal wall depending on the prognostic risk factors of postoperative complications are substantiated. Comparison of individual priorities of planned hernia surgery provided the opportunity to define the main directions in terms of urgent medical treatment features for patients with strangulated ventral hernias, taking into account a phasal nature of the pathological process and the availability and applicability of various synthetic implants. The literature analysis allowed for enough critical evaluation of the current state of tension-free allohernioplasty – the main fundamental principle of modern urgent surgery for ventral hernias and determining the main pragmatic directions of a selective approach in choosing the therapeutic tactics for patients with infected surgical wound. Conclusions. Urgent surgery of strangulated ventral hernias requires adequate and timely provision of individual and differentiated approaches in choosing the volume and method of surgery. Improvement of methods for predicting and preventing complications in patients with strangulated ventral hernias will expand the indications for the use of advanced types of tension-free hernioplasty.
