Is pooled data analysis of ventral and incisional hernia repair acceptable?
Frontiers in Surgery, 2015 Purpose: In meta-analyses and systematic reviews comparing laparoscopic with open repair of ventral hernias, data on umbilical, epigastric and incisional hernias are pooled.

A molecular perspective of obesity-mediated incisional hernia
Health Sciences Review, 2023 Background: Incisional hernia is a common complication following laparotomy. Obesity increases the incidence of incisional hernia by about three-fold. However, the pathophysiology behind the formation of incisional hernia is not well described.

A new three-step hybrid approach is a safe procedure for incisional hernia: early experiences with a single centre retrospective cohort [PDF]
, 2020 Purpose: In this study, a three-step novel surgical technique was developed for incisional hernia, in which a laparoscopic procedure with a mini-laparotomy is combined: so-called ‘three-step incisional hybrid repair’.

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 ...

Automated Identification of Thoracic Pathology from Chest Radiographs with Enhanced Training Pipeline [PDF]
Proc. SPIE 10950, Medical Imaging 2019: Computer-Aided Diagnosis,
vol. 10950, p. 109503F, (2019), 2020 Chest x-rays are the most common radiology studies for diagnosing lung and heart disease. Hence, a system for automated pre-reporting of pathologic findings on chest x-rays would greatly enhance radiologists' productivity. To this end, we investigate a deep-learning framework with novel training schemes for classification of different thoracic ...

Sarcopenia ‘made simple’ and outcomes from emergency laparotomy
ANZ Journal of Surgery, Volume 92, Issue 12, Page 3198-3203, December 2022., 2022 CT‐assessed ratio of L3 vertebral body cross‐sectional area to total psoas muscle cross‐sectional area (L3:PM) is a simple yet significant predictor of 30‐, 90‐ and 365‐day mortality in emergency laparotomy patients. This study is the first to describe the association in an Australian population.

INCISIONAL HERNIA AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY: ONLY THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION IS ENOUGH?
ABCD: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cirurgia Digestiva, 2022 BACKGROUND: Incisional hernia is characterized by a bulging of the abdominal wall caused by the prolapse of intracavitary structures, such as a segment of the small intestine, through the trocar orifice.
