HEDI: First-Time Clinical Application and Results of a Biomechanical Evaluation and Visualisation Tool for Incisional Hernia Repair [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Abdominal wall defects often lead to pain, discomfort, and recurrence of incisional hernias, resulting in significant morbidity and repeated surgical repairs worldwide. Mesh repair for large hernias is usually based on the defect area with a fixed overlap, neglecting biomechanical factors such as muscle activation, intra-abdominal pressure, tissue ...

A prospective randomized controlled study on the role of restoring liver diaphragm surface tension and pain control at port sites in optimizing pain management following laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 131-137, January 2023., 2023
The cornerstone of treatment for symptomatic gallbladder stones is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Pain is the commonest cause of extended hospital stay. Disturbance of liver—diaphragm surface tension is the main cause of pain. Retained CO2 is a major concern post laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Novel insights into biomarkers of progression in Desmoid tumor

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023
Desmoid tumor (DT) is a rare neoplasm characterized by the proliferation of myofibroblastic cells that infiltrates and invades adjacent tissues. Due to its locally aggressive and recurrent nature, DT often causes local symptoms and can be challenging to ...

Treatment strategies for unruptured pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms associated with celiac artery occlusion

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 182-189, January 2023., 2023
Since celiac artery occlusion represents a common attributable aetiology for these aneurysms, restoration of blood flow to the regions supplied by the celiac artery should also be taken into account when designing a treatment plan. Here, we present 4 cases of PDA aneurysms coexisting with coeliac artery occlusion, all of which were managed with bypass ...

A numerical study on the influence of geometry on the rupture risk of abdominal aortic aneurysms [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are local dilatations in the abdominal aorta occurring due to weakening of arterial wall. The present work investigates the influence of the ratio of maximum transverse diameter to abdominal height (DHr) on rupture risk of AAA, using hemodynamics and AAA wall mechanics simulations.

Graph-Based Small Bowel Path Tracking with Cylindrical Constraints [PDF]

, 2022
We present a new graph-based method for small bowel path tracking based on cylindrical constraints. A distinctive characteristic of the small bowel compared to other organs is the contact between parts of itself along its course, which makes the path tracking difficult together with the indistinct appearance of the wall.

Perioperative optimization of Crohn's disease

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 10-26, January 2023., 2023
Most Crohn's disease patients require surgery during the course of their illness, especially those who experience complications. The management of perioperative medications and surgery‐related decision‐making should be individualized and patient‐centered based on a multidisciplinary approach.

Comparison of open and laparoscopic inguinal-hernia repair in octogenarians

Asian Journal of Surgery, 2023
Summary: Introduction: Although the advantages of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in the general population have been reported, its role in octogenarians has yet to be elucidated. This retrospective study was designed to compare the outcomes of open

Distribution of Early Atherosclerotic Lesions in the Human Abdominal Aorta Correlates with Wall Shear Stresses MeasuredIn Vivo [PDF]

, 1999
Objectives: to study the relationship between wall shear stresses measured in vivo and early atherosclerotic lesions in the abdominal aorta. Materials: eight young volunteers for in vivo wall shear-stress measurements.
