RESUMO

Incisional ventral hernias (IVH) are a common occurrence worldwide. The resolve is fundamentally surgical. In this regard, laparoscopic treatment has become the standard. This paper aims to review intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) as a surgical solution for IVH and to explore the limitations and advantages in relation to the technique of mesh fixation, defect suture, seroma formation, and recurrence in accordance with the data published. The article is structured as a narrative review and relies on the Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles (SANRA) convention. In the analysis, we included articles published in the literature regarding the surgical treatment of ventral hernias (umbilical and incisional) through the IPOM technique. We explored data regarding the mesh fixation technique on the anterior abdominal wall (tacks or sutures), indications and limitations of defect closure, incidence of seroma formation, and recurrence rate. Laparoscopic IPOM is a better option for IVH up to 10 cm than the open technique with regard to aesthetics, length of hospital stay, and postoperative pain. There is no difference in recurrence rates. Suturing of the defect should be done to decrease seroma formation and maintain the functionality of the abdominal wall. Ideally, the suture should be done intraperitoneally or laparoscopically. Regarding pain in mesh fixation, there seems to be an increase in the short-term postoperative pain in the suture groups, but at six months, when compared to the tacks groups, there is no difference. New methods are being developed that include different types of glue but require large prospective, randomized trials if they are to be included in the guidelines.

RESUMO

This technical report explores the efficacy and methodology of laparoscopic surgery for treating abdominal echinococcosis, a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus. We highlight the zoonotic nature of the disease, which predominantly affects the liver and occasionally other organs, noting the challenge of its asymptomatic progression that complicates timely diagnosis and intervention. We detail our surgical technique using a standard laparoscopy kit to address abdominal hydatid cysts, emphasizing the critical importance of preventing cyst rupture and spillage to avoid recurrence and anaphylactic shock. We discuss considerations for opting for laparoscopy over open surgery, such as reduced postoperative morbidity, faster patient recovery, and lower costs, while also acknowledging limitations like restricted instrument movement and the absence of haptic feedback. We advocate hypertonic saline as the preferred scolicidal agent and strategies to minimize spillage and manage the residual cavity. In conclusion, we assert that laparoscopy offers a viable and effective treatment option for abdominal echinococcosis, emphasizing that optimizing outcomes for this benign condition hinges on careful patient selection and a conservative surgical approach.

RESUMO

Background: Liver transplantation (LT) has become an established treatment for end-stage liver disease, with more than 20.000 procedures yearly worldwide. The aim of this study was to analyze the results of Romanian National Program of LT. Methods: Between April 2000 and April 2017, 817 pts received 852 LTs in Romania. Male/female ratio was 487/330, while adult/pediatric ratio was 753/64, with a mean age of 46 years (median 50 yrs; range 7 months - 68 yrs). Main LT indications were HBV cirrhosis (230 pts; 28.2%), HCC (173 pts; 21.2%), and HCV cirrhosis (137 pts; 16.8%). Waiting time and indications for LT, patient and donor demographics, graft features, surgical procedures, and short and long-term outcomes were analyzed. Results: DDLT was performed in 682 pts (83.9%): whole LT in 662 pts (81%), split LT in 16 pts (2.3%), reduced LT in 2 pts (0.2%), and domino LT in 1 pts (0.1%). LDLT was performed in 135 pts (16.5%): right hemiliver in 93 pts (11.4%), left lateral section in 28 pts (3.4%), left hemiliver in 8 pts (1%), left hemiliver with segment 1 in 4 pts (0.5%), and dual graft LDLT in 2 pts (0.2%). Overall major morbidity rate was 31.4% (268 pts), while perioperative mortality was 7.9% (65 pts). Retransplantation rate was 4.3% (35 pts): 27 whole LTs, 3 reduced LTs, 3 split LTs, and 2 LDLT. Long-term overall 1-, 3-, and 5-year estimated survival rates for patients were 87.9%, 81.5%, and 79.1%, respectively. One-, 3-, and 5-year overall mortality on waiting list also decreased significantly over time from 31.4%, 54.1% and 63.5%, to 4.4%, 13.9% and 23.6%, respectively. Conclusions: The Romanian National program for liver transplantation addresses all causes of acute and chronic liver failure or liver tumors in adults and children, using all surgical techniques, with good long-term outcome. The program constantly evolved over time, leading to decreased mortality rate on the waiting list.
