Abstract

Single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) for totally extraperitoneal (TEP) groin hernia repair is a novel procedure, ensuring safe and effective repairs. The aim of this study was to assess the intra-operative and post-operative outcome for 102 patients undergoing SPLS TEP inguinal hernia repair at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford, UK. This follows on from our previously published series of 16 patients, demonstrating the safety and feasibility of SPLS in our cohort (Agrawal et al. in Surg Endosc 24:952-956, 2010). Between October 2008 and August 2010, we performed hernia repairs on 102 patients (98 men, 4 women) aged between 21 and 89 years (median 60). Patient demographics, type of hernia, incision length, operating time, complications, post-operative hospital stay, and recurrence were collected prospectively. Post-operative outcome was measured in terms of days to return to normal activities, work, and analgesia required. Sixty patients had unilateral and 39 bilateral hernias, with 2 femoral hernias and one lipoma of cord. Operating time was 15-120 min (median 35 for unilateral and 45 for bilateral repairs). The incision length ranged between 15 and 40 mm (median 25). There was 1 intra-operative complication (majo...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
