Abdominal wall incisional hernia repair improves respiratory function: results after 3 years of follow-up
2020
Abstract Purpose Hernias severely impact patient quality of life (QoL), and 80% of patients require a surgical operation. Moreover, hernias are responsible for respiratory function alterations. This study aims to investigate the postoperative alterations in respiratory function after open ventral hernia repair in patients with incisional hernia. Methods Patients operated on at the Policlinico “Paolo Giaccone” at Palermo University Hospital between January 2015 and December 2016 were identified in a prospective database. Fifty-one patients were enrolled in the study. The respiratory outcome measures used were forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), FEV1/FVC ratio…

Laparoscopic Treatment of Intussusception
2021
Most cases of ileocolic intussusception are reduced by imaging-guided air or fluid enema. If unsuccessful, operative intervention is necessary. The laparoscopic approach allows inspection of the bowel, identification of intraabdominal pathology, and achieves reduction of the intussuscepted bowel in most cases. The procedure requires the combination of slow and gradual traction as well as “rolling” the cecum distally. If unsuccessful, the bowel can be delivered through an extended umbilical incision for extracorporeal manipulation, or resection if this should be necessary.
Preoperative Botulinum Toxin and Progressive Pneumoperitoneum in Loss of Domain Hernias-Our First 100 Cases
2020
Objectives: Preoperative botulinum toxin type A (BT) and progressive pneumoperitoneum (PPP) are useful tools in the preparation of patients with loss of domain hernias (LODH). The purpose of our retrospective study is to report our experience in the treatment of 100 consecutive patients with LODH, with the combined use of these techniques. Methods: Of the 753 patients operated on for ventral incisional hernia between June 2010 and December 2018 in our hospital, 100 patients with LODH were analyzed retrospectively. Diameters of abdominal cavity and hernia sac, and volumes of incisional hernia (VIH) and abdominal cavity (VAC) were calculated from CT scan, based on the index of Tanaka. Results…
Pētījums par frekvences un elektroda materiāla ietekmi radiofrekvences ķirurģijā izmantojot cūkas ādas audus in vitro un in vivo
2016
Lai izvērtētu radiofrekvences ķirurģijas ietekmi incīziju veikšanai ādas audos, ir nepieciešams veikt pētījumus gan in vivo gan in vitro apstākļos. Ir nepieciešams izvērtēt dažādu frekvenču, elektrodu materiālu un griešanas ātruma ietekmi uz audiem veicot ķirurģisko operāciju. Latvijas Universitātes Medicīnas fakultātes Eksperimentālā Ķirurģijas centra vadībā, un sadarbībā ar MedTecResearch centru Vācijā, Krakovā un institūtu “Leibniz-Institute für Nutztierbiologie” Vācijā, Dummerstrofā tika veiktas incīzijas 12 laboratorijas cūku ādā sedācijas apstākļos. Brūču dzīšanas process tika izvērtēts sestajā un divpadsmitajā dienā pēc operācijas veikšanas. Tika salīdzināta termālā karstuma ietekme …
