Background: The combined Rives-Stoppa technique has been adopted as the gold standard for open incisional hernia repair. Laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) hernioplasty is a newer technique in managing ventral hernia. Based on this we have done single institution retrospective study of IPOM and open rectrorectus mesh repair for ventral hernia with size less than 5 cm.Methods: This study was single institution retrospective study, where we have analyzed the data of 30 patients in each group of ventral hernia, with median 18 months of follow up. Their data analyzed for demographics, surgical site occurrence and short terms recurrence.Results: Our study consists of 30 heterogenous population with similar age distribution in each group, mean time for surgery was 70.83 min for open and 66.33 minutes for IPOM. There was surgical site infection in 3 patients operated by open procedure and 2 patients in IPOM procedure. Duration of hospital stay which is more in open retrorectus repaired patients, 5.47 (mean) days and less in laparoscopic IPOM repaired patients, 5.07 (mean) days. Recurrence in both groups of patients is not seen in 6 months follow up in our study.Conclusions: Study supports safety in terms of duration of surgery, postoperative pain, surgical site infection, duration of hospital stays and efficacy in terms of return of normal activity and recurrence, equally effective in both open retrorectus and laparoscopic IPOM repair of ventral hernia with size less than 5 cm.

Objective We investigated the validity of our intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) Plus technique with barbed sutures. Background Laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair has become a proven method for treating abdominal incisional hernias in recent years. There have been a few reports on the utility of IPOM Plus, which is IPOM + celiorrhaphy, although this method has not been widely discussed. We adopted the IPOM Plus technique with barbed sutures at our hospital and investigated the validity of this technique. Methods We included 7 patients who underwent IPOM Plus repair from 2015 to 2017 at our hospital. We excluded patients with a hernia hilum <2 cm or ≥10 cm, age < 20 years old, PS3 or more, and uncontrolled comorbidity. The hernial orifice was closed laparoscopically using barbed sutures and subsequently secured by tacking on an onlay mesh. Results The median hernial orifice size of the 7 patients was 45 mm (25 to 55 mm). Hernia onset occurred after laparotomy in all cases. In one case, an abdominal incisional hernia recurred after IPOM used to treat the condition 15 years earlier. The mean duration of surgery was 80.5 minutes (53 to 126 minutes), and the median pain scale score was 3 points (0 to 3 points), indicating little pain. None of the patients reported persistent postoperative pain. The mean duration of the postoperative hospital stay was a median of 3.5 days (2 to 5 days). Both short- and long-term outcomes indicated that no recurrence or complications, such as bulging or seroma, occurred. Conclusions IPOM Plus with intracavitary abdominal suturing using barbed suture for abdominal scar hernia repair may be a valid surgical procedure.

Abstract Aim “The optimal repair technique for small and medium-sized ventral hernias in obese patients remains unknown. We aimed to evaluate results after robotic-assisted laparoscopic transabdominal repair with retro-rectus mesh placement (rTARUP) compared with laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair (IPOM).” Material and Methods “Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing rTARUP or IPOM repair for small or medium-sized primary ventral and incisional hernias. The primary outcome was postoperative need for transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block or epidural catheter, and secondary outcomes were 30-day complications, and length of stay. All patients underwent elective surgery and were followed for 30 days postoperatively.” Results “A total of 27 patients (rTARUP) and 32 (IPOM) were included. Patients in the two groups were comparable in terms of age, sex, comorbidities, smoking status, body mass index (BMI), and type of hernia. The median BMI was 32.4 kg/m2 and the fascial defect area was comparable (rTARUP median 16.8 cm2 vs. IPOM 11.7 cm2, P = 0.303). The duration of surgery was longer in the rTARUP group (median 117.2 min. vs. 84.4, P = 0.003), whereas the postoperative need for TAP block or epidural analgesics was less in the rTARUP group compared with IPOM (n = 14 vs. n = 1, P = 0.002). There were no severe complications or reoperations in the two groups. The length of stay was shorter in the rTARUP group (median 0 vs. 1 days, P < 0.001).” Conclusions “rTARUP was associated with reduced postoperative analgesic requirement and shorter length of stay compared with laparoscopic IPOM.”

AbstractThis is a retrospective study. Surgical site infection (SSI) is associated with adverse postoperative outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, accurately predicting SSI remains a clinical challenge due to the multitude of patient and surgical factors associated with SSI. This study aimed to develop and validate machine learning models for the prediction of SSI following primary TKA. This is a retrospective study for patients who underwent primary TKA. Chart review was performed to identify patients with superficial or deep SSIs, defined in concordance with the criteria of the Musculoskeletal Infection Society. All patients had a minimum follow-up of 2 years (range: 2.1–4.7 years). Five machine learning algorithms were developed to predict this outcome, and model assessment was performed by discrimination, calibration, and decision curve analysis. A total of 10,021 consecutive primary TKA patients was included in this study. At an average follow-up of 2.8 ± 1.1 years, SSIs were reported in 404 (4.0%) TKA patients, including 223 superficial SSIs and 181 deep SSIs. The neural network model achieved the best performance across discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.84), calibration, and decision curve analysis. The strongest predictors of the occurrence of SSI following primary TKA, in order, were Charlson comorbidity index, obesity (BMI >30 kg/m2), and smoking. The neural network model presented in this study represents an accurate method to predict patient-specific superficial and deep SSIs following primary TKA, which may be employed to assist in clinical decision-making to optimize outcomes in at-risk patients.
