Incisional Hernia is a long term complication of laparotomy. Its exact frequency varies but is around 10 -15 %. The Aim of the study is to assess the risk factors in the development of incisional hernia with one, or in various combinations such as Age ...

How long do we need to follow-up our hernia patients to find the real recurrence rate?
IntroductionIt is known that recurrences continue to occur after the follow-up period of one to five years usually used in most hernia studies. By reviewing the data in the Herniamed Hernia Registry documenting the time interval between the recurrent ...

Crossover from reptation to Rouse dynamics in a one-dimensional model [PDF]
A simple one-dimensional model is constructed for polymer motion. It exhibits the crossover from reptation to Rouse dynamics through gradually allowing hernia creation and annihilation. The model is treated by the density matrix technique which permits an accurate finite-size-scaling analysis of the behavior of long polymers.

Background: Ventral hernias (VHs) occur as a result of weakness in the musculofascial layer of the anterior abdominal wall. The most popular classification is congenital, acquired, incisional, and traumatic.

Learning Invariant Representation of Tasks for Robust Surgical State Estimation [PDF]
Surgical state estimators in robot-assisted surgery (RAS) - especially those trained via learning techniques - rely heavily on datasets that capture surgeon actions in laboratory or real-world surgical tasks. Real-world RAS datasets are costly to acquire, are obtained from multiple surgeons who may use different surgical strategies, and are recorded ...

Spontaneous rapture of an incisional hernia: A case report [PDF]
An incisional hernia develops in the scar of a surgical incision. Rarely, a particularly thin-walled large incisional hernia may actually ulcerate at its fundus so that omentum protrudes or there is even the development of an intestinal fistula ...

Stomal Closure: Strategies to Prevent Incisional Hernia
Incisional hernias following ostomy reversal occur frequently. Incisional hernias at the site of a previous stoma closure can cause significant morbidity, impaired quality of life, lead to life-threatening hernia incarceration or strangulation and result

Extragenital malignant mixed Mullerian tumor in the incisional hernia - primary carcinosarcoma in the abdominal wall: Case report [PDF]
Introduction. This report presents a primary Mullerian carcinosarcoma localized in the incisional hernia i.e. anterior abdominal wall. There is no data in the literature about this localization of extragenital Mullerian carcinosarcoma.

Gel-Electrophoresis and Diffusion of Ring-Shaped DNA [PDF]
A model for the motion of ring-shaped DNA in a gel is introduced and studied by numerical simulations and a mean-field approximation. The ring motion is mediated by finger-shaped loops (hernias) that move in an amoeba-like fashion around the gel obstructions. This constitutes an extension of previous reptation tube treatments.

Overcoming the Force Limitations of Magnetic Robotic Surgery: Impact-based Tetherless Suturing [PDF]
Magnetic robotics obviate the physical connections between the actuators and end effectors resulting in ultra-minimally invasive surgeries. Even though such a wireless actuation method is highly advantageous in medical applications, the trade-off between the applied force and miniature magnetic end effector dimensions has been one of the main ...
