Laparoscopic Treatment of Incisional Lumbar Hernia: Long Term Results Comparing Polypropylene Xptfe Mesh Repair

Congenital nonparasitic liver cysts in newborns are rare. Surgical excision of these formations is necessary to prevent complications. Reports of laparoscopic treatment of simple liver cysts in children are also rare. Authors present a series of endosurgical treatment of patients, numbering 3 children and coming from a single surgical center, and compare it with the literature data known to date. Data of 3 patients with nonparasitic liver cysts were collected at the Center for Neonatal Surgery, beginning in 2014. The analysis of the patient's demographic data and parameters of hepatic cysts (location, histological structure) is performed. Early and long-term results of laparoscopic operations were studied. All patients were newborns: 2 girls and 1 boy. The primary diagnosis was set during prenatal ultrasound examination. In all patients a complete resection of pathological liver formations was performed using laparoscopy. There were no complications during early postoperative period. In the long-term follow-up period, there were no disease recurrences. The study presents one of the largest series of laparoscopic excision of nonparasitic liver cysts in newborns. The study revealed that laparoscopy is a safe and effective method of treating of congenital hepatic cysts.

Abstract Aim Assessment of long term complications of self gripping mesh used in different types of hernia repair procedures more than 4 years ago aiming to compare the results with sutured prolene mesh with regards to safety and efficacy. Methods 70 patients (3 emergency & 67 elective) ventral hernia repair procedures, done in 2016 using self gripping mesh, were followed for recurrence and complications on the long term. Results There were 2 right (6.45%) and 1 left (3.44%) inguinal hernia recurrences. There were no cases of chronic groin pain or foreign body sensation. As compared to the meta-analysis of postoperative pain using non-sutured or sutured single-layer open mesh repair for inguinal hernia, where 19 studies including 4531 patients analysed recurrence, no significant difference was found in recurrence rates between the 2 mesh repair groups after 1 year of follow-up. With regards to the incidence of chronic pain at 12 months, there was no significant difference between Self gripping and suture fixation. Conclusions The self-gripping mesh in this study has better results as compared with a sutured mesh regarding the incidence of chronic postoperative inguinal pain and foreign body sensation. Recurrence rates are comparable to most studies, however, long-term results still are based on relatively small patients numbers.
