“…It is very common in men with lifetime risk of 27% and 3% for women. 1 Hernias are among the oldest known afflictions of humankind, and surgical repair of the inguinal hernia is the most common general surgery procedure performed today. Despite the high incidence, the technical aspects of hernia repair continue to evolve.…”

Background: Inguinal hernia repair is the most commonly done surgery of all general surgical procedures. Hence in an attempt to decrease the pain and increase the patient’s comfort, various techniques have been considered to fix the mesh. The aim of this study was to compare the differences between the two techniques of mesh fixation namely the minimal stitch method and the continuous suturing in terms of various parameters. Methods: This study was conducted selecting 126 patients who attended the general surgery OPD at ESIC MC and PGIMSR and randomly allocating them to the two study groups; the patients were followed up till 6 months post-operatively. The parameters taken into account were: the operative time, the duration of hospital stay, the pain scores at various time intervals (POD 1, 3, 7, 30, 60, 90, 180) and the incidence of complications if any. Results: Among the 126 male patients enrolled in the study, the highest % belonged to the age group 51-60. 90% of them had unilateral hernias. The pain scores were significantly low in the minimal stitch group from the first postoperative day up to 1 month. The operative time and duration of hospital stay was also significantly decreased in the minimal stitch group. Conclusions: Hence, the minimal stitch technique used for inguinal hernia repair in our study proved to be comparable to the conventional suturing, better than the latter in terms of patients’ subjective satisfactory factors such as less operative time and less hospital stay while having no significant difference in terms of occurrence of chronic inguinodynia or any other postoperative complications.

This article examines the anthropotechnical design of orthopedic footwear for patients with diabetic foot syndrome. A 3D spacer knitted fabric was used as a barrier between the researcher's foot and the ground. For the purpose of the research, 7–11 mm thick knitted fabrics with longitudinal elasticity from 45–90 kPa were designed and produced on a double-bar warp knitting machine. The FreeMed Professional mat was used to measure the pressures exerted by the foot on a “bare” walking surface and on the surface equipped with the spacer knitted fabric and compared, proving that in the latter case the unit pressure on the patient's foot decreased by 30%. The obtained measurements provide a good starting point for further research on the optimization of loads on human feet.

BACKGROUND This is a retrospective descriptive study of 422 cases of abdominal wall hernias done by single surgeon and their follow-up upto 12 years. Abdominal wall hernias are a group of conditions, which occur mainly through the natural openings and weak areas of abdominal wall-1. Groin, 2. Ventral part of the anterior abdominal wall, 3. Previous operative sites and 4. Through natural openings and weak areas of abdominal wall. MATERIALS AND METHODS 422 cases of abdominal wall hernias treated in the last 12 years along with their management were studied. They were followed upto 12 yrs. The differences in the selection of cases and surgical skill are excluded in the study by including cases done by single surgeon (1 st Author) only. Only open surgeries are included in the study to avoid learning curve mistakes. Mode of Presentation-Elective and emergency surgery and their management is discussed. Anatomical tissue repair, monofilament polypropylene mesh repair in primary and recurrent hernias of various varieties and their results were studied. Bowel resections, omental excisions and separation of bowel adhesions (Adhesiolysis) in sliding and irreducible hernias are analysed. Various complications including mortality are discussed. RESULTS No recurrences were observed in mesh hernioplasty patients. 6 cases of recurrences were observed in anatomical repair patients-1.4%. Monofilament polypropylene mesh was used and fixed to the tissues with 2.0 prolene. 3 patients expired in our series in complicated and strangulated cases-0.7%. CONCLUSION Prolene mesh repair is definitely superior to anatomical tissue repairs in all cases of abdominal wall hernias. Anatomical tissue repair in young good musculature and small defects gives equally good results in experienced hands.
