Incisional ventral hernias are a common problem encountered by surgeons, with over 100,000 repairs being performed annually in the United States. Although many predisposing factors for incisional ventral hernia are patient-related, some factors such as type of primary closure and materials used may reduce the overall incidence of incisional ventral ...

Laparoscopic Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair
Surgical Endoscopy, 2002Adult-congenital diaphragmatic hernias and chronic traumatic diaphragmatic hernias are uncommon entities that are often technically challenging to repair. There is growing experience with a minimal access approach to these defects.We reviewed the English-language literature using a MEDLINE search for "diaphragmatic hernia" and "laparoscopy."We found 19

Laparoscopic Paraesophageal Hernia Repair
Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 2013The last 2 decades have witnessed a revolution in the treatment of patients with paraesophageal hernia (PEH). Nowadays, the laparoscopic repair with fundoplication is considered as the primary treatment modality in most academic centers for symptomatic patients. Three findings have clearly emerged: (1) this procedure is technically demanding; (2) it is

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2003
Femoral hernia repair has a long history. In the nineteenth century, simple closure of the femoral orifice by the femoral approach was favored. Such renowned surgeons as Bassini, Marcy, and Cushing authored papers about the femoral approach to femoral hernia. The recurrence rate was so high, however, that it was replaced by the inguinal approach.

Laparoscopic Paraesophageal Hernia Repair
Surgical Innovation, 2001The term paraesophageal hernia is described as a herniation of the gastric fundus through the open hiatus into the thoracic cavity while the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) remains in its normal anatomic position. This is considered a rolling esophageal hernia (Type II), and it is the least commonly encountered hiatal hernia.

Umbilical hernia repair with the prolene hernia system
The American Journal of Surgery, 2005Despite its extensive application for the repair of inguinal hernias, the use of the Prolene Hernia System (PHS; Ethicon, West Somerville, NJ) for the repair of umbilical hernias has been sparse. The purpose of this prospective study was to assess, in comparison with currently available techniques, the effectiveness of the PHS in repairing umbilical ...

Operation hernia: humanitarian hernia repairs in Ghana
Hernia, 2007Ghana has a high incidence of inguinal hernias and the healthcare system is unable to deliver an adequate repair rate. This results in morbidity and mortality and has a knock-on effect on the local economy. A project has been set up to try and reduce the burden of these hernias by establishing Africa's first Hernia Centre.

Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2008The safest and most effective inguinal hernia repair (laparoscopic versus open mesh) is being debated. As the authors point out, the former accounts for the minority of hernia repairs performed in the United States and around the world. The reasons for this are a demonstration in the literature of increased operative times, increased costs, and a ...
