Background/Objectives: The safety of intraperitoneal mesh placement in contaminated fields remains controversial because of the increased risk of inflammation and adhesion formation. N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) has antioxidant, pro-fibrinolytic and ant...

The laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair (IPOM) approach has become the most widely adopted technique in the last decade. The role of laparoscopic IPOM in the last years has been resizing due to several limitations. The aim of the present s...

(1) Introduction: The intraperitoneal onlay mesh technique (IPOM) is widely used to repair incisional hernias. This method has advantages but suffers from complications due to intraperitoneal adhesion formation between the mesh and intestine. An idea...

Ventral incisional hernias are common indications for elective repair and frequently complicated by recurrence. Surgical meshes, which may be synthetic, bio-synthetic, or biological, decrease recurrence and, resultingly, their use has become standard...

Background: Surgery for complex primary and metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), such as liver resection and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), in academic settings has led to improved survival but is associated with complications up t...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the likelihood of bowel obstruction according to the placement of the mesh (either intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal) in ventral hernia repairs. Materials and methods: Patients were divided into two gr...

A parastomal hernia is a common complication following stoma surgery. Due to the large number of hernial relapses and other complications, such as infections, adhesion to the intestines, or the formation of adhesions, the treatment of hernias is stil...

(1) Background: Abdominal adhesions are a common disease appearing after any type of abdominal surgery and may prolong surgical time and cause intestinal obstruction, infertility, or chronic pain. We propose the use of intraperitoneal collagenase to...

Background: Primary ventral hernias (PVHs) are a frequent disease that can impair quality of life. Laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) technique has shown good outcomes in appropriately selected cases. Methods: We report the results of a r...

Background and Objectives: Incisional hernia is a common complication following cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). This study aimed to identify patient and surgical factors associated with its occurrenc...

(1) Background: Peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer is associated with a poor prognosis. Complete cytoreductive surgery including gastrectomy and complete removal of all peritoneal lesions followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HI...
