A novel in vivo approach to assess strains of the human abdominal wall under known intraabdominal pressure [PDF]

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 125 (2022) 104902, 2021
The study concerns mechanical behaviour of a living human abdominal wall. A better mechanical understanding of a human abdominal wall and recognition of its material properties is required to find mechanically compatible surgical meshes to significantly improve the treatment of ventral hernias.

MEsh FIxation in Laparoendsocopic Repair of Large M3 inguinal hernias: multicenter, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial—study protocol for a MEFI Trial

Trials, 2023
Background International guidelines of groin hernia treatment strongly recommend to fixate the mesh in large M3 medial defects during TAPP/TEP procedures. The main purpose of fixation is to decrease the recurrence rate which is alarmingly high in case of

Full-field in vivo experimental study of the strains of a breathing human abdominal wall with intra-abdominal pressure variation [PDF]

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, Volume 147, November 2023, 106148, 2023
The presented study aims to assess the mechanical behaviour of the anterior abdominal wall based on an in vivo experiment on humans. Full-field measurement of abdominal wall displacement during changes of intra-abdominal pressure is performed using a digital image correlation (DIC) system.

Factors associated with delayed reporting for surgical care among patients with surgical acute abdomen attended at Muhimbili National Hospital: Tanzania

BMC Gastroenterology, 2023
Background Surgical acute abdomen is a sudden onset of severe abdominal symptoms (pain, vomiting, constipation etc.) indicative of a possible life-threatening intra-abdominal pathology, with most cases requiring immediate surgical intervention.

Strategies involving low-molecular-weight heparin for the treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolism in patients with obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
IntroductionRecent studies have indicated that the dosage of LMWH in patients with specific weights may be controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to explore an appropriate dosage of LMWH for the prevention and treatment of venous ...

If laparoscopic technique can be used for treatment of acutely incarcerated/strangulated inguinal hernia?

World Journal of Emergency Surgery, 2021
Purpose Laparoscopic treatment for acutely incarcerated/strangulated inguinal hernias is uncommon and controversial. In the present study, we assessed the safety and feasibility of transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair for the treatment of acutely ...

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 ...
