Complications related to the prehabilitation with preoperative pneumoperitoneum in loss of domain hernias: our experienc...
Published in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery
Progressive pneumoperitoneum (PPP) is useful tool in the preparation of patients with loss of domain hernias (LODH). The purpose of this observational retrospective study was to report our experience in the management of complications associated with the PPP procedure after treating 180 patients with LODH and to report preventive measures to avoid ...
Drain versus no drain in elective open incisional hernia operations: a registry-based analysis with 39,523 patients.
Published in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery
Elective open incisional hernia operations are a frequently performed and complex procedure. Prophylactic drainage is widely practised to prevent local complications, but nevertheless the benefit of surgical drain placement remains a controversially discussed subject. Objective of this analysis was to evaluate the current status of patient care in ...
Assessing surgical risk calculators on hernia repair candidates with cirrhosis.
Published in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery
Several risk calculators have been developed and deployed to help surgeons estimate the mortality risk that comes with performing hernia repair surgery on patient with severe liver disease. This study seeks to evaluate the accuracy of these risk calculators on patients with cirrhosis and identify the most suitable population of patient to use these...
Management of diastasis recti during ventral hernia repair: an analysis of the abdominal core health quality collaborati...
Published in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery
Advancements of minimally invasive techniques leveraged routine repair of concomitant diastasis recti (DR), as those approaches facilitate fascial plication and wide mesh overlap while obviating skin incision and/or undermining. Nevertheless, evidence on the value of such intervention is lacking. We aimed to investigate the management and outcomes ...
Maximizing mesh mileage: evaluating the long-term performance of a novel hybrid mesh for ventral hernia repair.
Published in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and long-term outcomes of GORE Synecor™ in ventral hernia repair (VHR). This retrospective, single-center case review analyzed outcomes in patients who underwent VHR with Synecor from May 2016 to December 2022. Primary outcomes were hernia recurrence and mesh infection rates. Secondary outcomes ...
Cannabis smoking and abdominal wall reconstruction outcomes: a propensity score-matched analysis.

Published in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery
Despite increasing use of cannabis, literature on perioperative effects is lagging. We compared active cannabis-smokers versus non-smokers and postoperative wound morbidity and reoperations following open abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR). Patients who underwent open, clean, AWR with transversus abdominis release and retromuscular synthetic mesh ...
Botulinum toxin A in complex incisional hernia repair: a systematic review.
Published in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery
To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and short and long-term postoperative results of using BTA. We conducted a systematic review following the recommendations of the PRISMA method. We systematically reviewed the MEDLINE/PubMed and SCOPUS electronic databases for studies published between January 2010 and September 2021. This systematic review was reg...
Early outcomes of open anterior versus posterior components separation with transversus abdominis release for large medi...
Published in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery
Complex incisional hernia is still a debatable topic, with increasing incidence and an increased local and systemic postoperative morbidity and mortality. The size of the defect is a risk factor for both difficult closure and 30-day readmission due to complications. The main option for closure such defect is a mesh augmented component separation te...
Obesity increases the surgical complexity and risk of recurrence after midline primary ventral hernia repair: results on...
Published in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery
Obesity is a known risk factor of recurrence after hernia surgery, but available data often concern pooled cases of primary and incisional hernia, with short follow-up. We aimed to analyze the impact of severe obesity (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2) on the results of midline primary ventral hernia repair (mPVHR), in comparison with non-severely obese patients. Da...
