Die akut symptomatischen Hernien mit potentieller oder manifester Ischämie bilden eine spezielle Gruppe innerhalb der Gesamtheit der Leistenhernien. Die Operationsmethode der Wahl muss folgende spezielle Anforderungen erfüllen: 1. Der Bruchsackinhalt muss schonend und ohne zusätzlichen Schaden zu verursachen reponiert werden können. 2. Der Zugang muss genügend Übersicht und Platz zur Inspektion und allenfalls Resektion von Bruchsackinhalt gewähren. 3. Die Bruchlücke muss durch den selben Zugang sicher versorgt werden können. Infolge unserer Erfahrungen mit 44 eingeklemmten und strangulierten Leistenhernien, operiert zwischen 1993 und 1997, und nach Durchsicht der Literatur entschieden wir uns für einen routinemässigen hinteren Zugang und die Bruchpfortenversorgung mit Netz als Methode der Wahl. Auf die Einlage eines Netzes verzichten wir nur dann, wenn eine Kolonresektion notwendig ist oder eine Peritonitis vorliegt.

Combined dorsal and ventral rhizotomy is an effective treatment for patients with concurrent spasticity and dystonia, with the preponderance of complaints relating to their lower extremities. This operative approach provides definitive relief of hypertonia and should be considered after less-invasive techniques have been exhausted. Previously, the surgery has been described through an L1–S1 laminoplasty. In this series, 7 patients underwent a conus-level laminectomy for performing a lumbar dorsal and ventral rhizotomy. Technical challenges included identifying the appropriate-level ventral roots and performing the procedure in children with significant scoliosis. Techniques are described to overcome these obstacles. The technique was found to be safe, with no infections, CSF leaks, or neurogenic bladders.

Abstract Aims To compare risk-adjusted outcomes after emergency intestinal surgery by operative approach. Methods Data from December 2013-November 2018 was retrieved from the NELA national database. Complete data on 102,154 patients with P-POSSUM was available, and 47,667 had NELA score. AUROC curves were calculated to assess model discrimination (c-statistic), and calibration plots to visualise agreement between predicted and observed mortality.  Standardised Mortality Ratio's (SMR) were calculated for the total cohort and by operative approach. Operative approach was divided into: laparotomy, completed laparoscopically, converted to open and lap assisted. Results Both P-POSSUM and NELA score displayed good discrimination for total cohort and by operative approach (P-POSSUM c-statistic=0.801-0.815; NELA score c-statistic=0.851-0.880).  Calibration plots demonstrated that P-POSSUM was highly accurate up to 20% mortality, after which it substantially over-predicted mortality.  NELA score was highly accurate up to 25% mortality after which it slightly under-predicted. Overall SMR of observed vs expected deaths was 0.77 using P-POSSUM, 0.8 for laparotomy and 0.46 for laparoscopy.  Restricting cases to < 10% predicted mortality (n = 65,000), overall SMR improved (0.9) and was considerably lower for cases completed laparoscopically (0.41) compared to open (0.97).  Using NELA scores of < 10% predicted mortality (n = 27,000) had similar overall SMR (0.96), with cases completed laparoscopically displaying much lower SMR (0.61) compared to laparotomy (1.0). Conclusions SMR's calculated using P-POSSUM and NELA score have demonstrated that laparoscopy has significantly lower observed vs expected mortality rate compared to laparotomy. This raises the question of why laparoscopy is associated with reduced mortality and should operative approach be included in risk models?
