Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide, with over 20 million cases annually. The evolution of hernia surgery has transitioned from tension-based techniques to tension-free approaches, significantly...

Background and Objectives: To identify the predictors of clinical outcomes in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) who underwent transvaginal reconstruction surgery, especially with transobturator mesh fixation or sacrospinous mesh fixation. Materi...

Background: Compared to other types of abdominal protrusions, Spigelian hernias are not very common. In prosthetic repair of abdominal protrusions, mesh fixation and defect overlap are an open issue, as they are a source of complications. A newly dev...

Introduction: Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR) is the standard procedure for the treatment of posterior pelvic organ prolapse. Despite significant functional improvement and anatomical corrections, severe complications related to mesh augmen...

A major drawback of nanocomposite scaffolds in bone tissue engineering is dimensional shrinkage after the fabrication process. Shrinkage yields gaps between the scaffold and host bone in the defect site and eventually causes failure in osteointegrati...

Objective: To evaluate the rates of serious complications and reoperation for recurrence following sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) for apical pelvic organ prolapse. Methods: This was a national registry ancillary cohort comparative study. The V...

Background: Pelvic organ prolapse significantly affects women’s health, often requiring surgery. Unilateral sacrocolpopexy (SCP) is the gold standard for apical prolapse repair. However, varied SCP techniques can lead to inconsistencies in clin...

(1) Background: Treating female pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is challenging. Surgical meshes have been used in transvaginal surgeries since the 1990s, but complications such as mesh exposure and infection have been reported. Polyvinylidene fluoride (P...

Background: Postoperative chronic pain caused by fixation and/or fibrotic incorporation of hernia meshes are the main concerns in inguinal herniorrhaphy. As inguinal hernia is a degenerative disease, logically the treatment should aim at stopping deg...

Background: The Lichtenstein open anterior approach with static flat meshes, the most popular inguinal hernia repair technique, has raised concerns regarding mesh fixation, defect patency, and poor quality biological response. To address these issues...

Objectives: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition affecting women, often requiring surgical intervention. Laparoscopic pectopexy has gained popularity, but there is ongoing debate about the efficacy and safety of mesh versus thread as fix...

Objectives: To compare the follow-up results of a sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) technique for laparoscopic bilateral fixation of the vagina to the iliopectineal ligament via a PVDF-mesh (laparoscopic pectopexy technique, LP) in terms of cure...

Background/Objectives: The use of vaginal mesh for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair remains controversial following global restrictions due to safety concerns. This study evaluated intra- and perioperative morbidity following a standardized single-...

Hydroxyapatite (HA), the major mineral component of tooth enamel and natural bones, is a good candidate for bone tissue engineering. Synthetic HA is used for making coatings on metallic implants intended for medical applications. A HA coating renders...

Efforts to use traditional native tissue strategies and reduce the use of meshes have been made in several countries. Combining native tissue repair with sufficient mesh applied apical repair might provide a means of effective treatment. The study gr...

Background: The occurrence of bone fractures is increasing worldwide, mainly due to the health problems that follow the aging population. The use of additive manufacturing and electrical stimulators can be applied for bioactive achievements in bone h...

Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the anatomical results after an anterior sacrospinous ligament fixation (ASSLF) with native tissue repair (anterior colporraphy and apical suspension with prolene) compared to mesh repair for th...

Risks from rockfall and land sliding can be controlled by high-tensile steel nets and meshes which stabilise critical areas. In many cases, a recultivation of the land is also desired. However, high-tensile steel meshes alone are not always sufficien...

Accurate reduction and stable fixation are important in the treatment of frontal sinus fracture. In this article, we introduce a rapid and simple method for the treatment of frontal fractures and restoration of normal forehead contour, named the “bon...

Objectives: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of the modified technique of radical organ-preserving surgery of invasive cervical cancer (CC) in patients of reproductive age. Methods: This study included 118 patients of reproductive...

Background: Despite the benefits of minimally invasive pelvic floor reconstructive surgery, serious life-threatening complications have been described. The most serious complications are vascular and intestinal. This review discusses the incidence, d...

In response to the problems of wire detachment, insulation layer damage, and low construction efficiency in the traditional hand tied wire fixing method for 10 kV overhead lines, this paper develops a new type of 10 kV overhead line fixing device. Th...

Insulin is a peptide hormone that is key to regulating physiological glucose levels. Its molecular size and susceptibility to conformational change under physiological pH make it challenging to orally administer insulin in diabetes. The most effectiv...

Background: Adjustable sling ATOMS-SSP results in ventral compression of the urethra with favorable results in the treatment of men with mild to moderate stress incontinence. However, with transobturator tunneling and mesh fixation, the surgeon has a...

Background: The study aimed to evaluate the clinical effects of utilizing acellular dermal matrix (ADM) for treating pelvic organ prolapse. The motivation behind exploring a new treatment method stems from the limited efficacy of current surgical opt...

Background/Objectives: Acetabular fractures are rare fractures of the pelvis which usually result from trauma. Whilst data are reported on sexual and genitourinary function in those with pelvic fractures, less is known about those with isolated aceta...

This narrative review provides the outcomes of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and describes the available conservative treatment options for patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) that have risk factors for Kummell’s dis...

The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate treatment options for orbital floor fractures at a Level 1 Trauma Center in Southern California. A review of 45 cases of isolated orbital floor fractures treated at the University of Californ...

Background: Treatment of pelvic injuries poses serious problems for surgeons due to the difficulties of the associated injuries. The objective of this research is to create a clinical workflow that integrates three-dimensional technologies in preoper...
