RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mesh repair in incarcerated or strangulated groin hernia is controversial, especially when bowel resection is required. We aimed to perform a meta-analysis comparing mesh and non-mesh repair in patients undergoing emergency groin hernia repair. METHODS: We performed a literature search of databases to identify studies comparing mesh and primary suture repair of patients with incarcerated or strangulated inguinal or femoral hernias who underwent emergency surgery. Postoperative outcomes were assessed by pooled analysis and meta-analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. Heterogeneity was assessed with I2 statistics. RESULTS: 1095 studies were screened and 101 were thoroughly reviewed. Twenty observational studies and four randomized controlled trials comprising 12,402 patients were included. We found that mesh-based repair had reduced recurrence (OR 0.36; 95% CI 0.19, 0.67; P = 0.001; I2 = 35%), length of hospital stay (OR - 1.02; 95% CI - 1.87, - 0.17; P = 0.02; I2 = 94%) and operative time (OR - 9.21; 95% CI - 16.82, - 1.61; P = 0.02; I2 = 95%) without increasing surgical site infection, mortality or postoperative complications such as seroma, chronic, ileus or urinary retention. In the subgroup analysis of patients that underwent bowel resection, we found that mesh repair was associated with an increased risk of surgical site infection (OR 1.74; 95% CI 1.04, 2.91; P = 0.04; I2 = 9%). CONCLUSIONS: Mesh repair for incarcerated and strangulated groin hernias reduces recurrence without an increase in postoperative complications and should be considered in clean cases. However, in the setting of bowel resection, mesh repair might increase the incidence of surgical site infection.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Parastomal hernia repairs (PHRs) are often complex and challenging, even for experienced abdominal wall surgeons. Although the ideal therapeutic option in the setting of a parastomal hernia is to restore intestinal continuity, this is often not feasible, and numerous techniques have been described for PHR. Current guidelines recommend using mesh for elective PHR, but there is a scarcity of evidence comparing different PHR techniques. We aimed to report a meta-analysis comparing the outcomes of the "Sugarbaker" and "Keyhole" mesh configuration in PHR. METHODS: A literature search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases was performed to identify studies comparing Sugarbaker and Keyhole mesh configuration in PHR. Postoperative outcomes were assessed by means of pooled analysis and meta-analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. Heterogeneity was assessed with I2 statistics. RESULTS: A total of 3247 studies were screened, and 27 were fully reviewed. Ten studies and 632 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Three hundred five patients (48.3%) with Keyhole and 327 patients (51.7%) with Sugarbaker mesh configuration. Four hundred thirty-three patients (68.5%) underwent laparoscopic PHR with intraperitoneal onlay mesh. Sugarbaker mesh configuration was associated with lower hernia recurrence compared with Keyhole (odds ratio: 0.39; 95% CI: 0.19-0.83; P = 0.01; I2 = 46%). No differences were seen in overall complications, reoperations, stoma outlet obstruction, mesh infection, and postoperative bleeding. CONCLUSION: PHR with Sugarbaker mesh configuration is associated with decreased hernia recurrence compared with Keyhole and had similar rates of overall complications, reoperations, stoma outlet obstruction, mesh infection, and postoperative bleeding.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with an increased risk of ventral hernia development and recurrence rates after ventral hernia repair (VHR). The metabolic derangements caused by obesity can also lead to many postoperative complications. Therefore, it is a common practice to attempt weight loss before VHR. However, there is still no consensus on optimal preoperative management for obese patients with a ventral hernia. This study aims to perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of preoperative weight optimization on VHR outcomes. METHODS: We performed a literature search of PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases to identify studies comparing obese patients who underwent surgical or non-surgical weight loss interventions before undergoing hernia repair surgery to obese patients who underwent hernia repair surgery without prehabilitation. Postoperative outcomes were assessed by means of pooled analysis and meta-analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. Heterogeneity was assessed with I 2 statistics. RESULTS: One thousand six hundred nine studies were screened and 13 were thoroughly reviewed. Five studies comprising 465 patients undergoing hernia repair surgery were included. No differences in hernia recurrence [odds ratio (OR) 0.66; 95% CI 0.23-1.89; P =0.44; I 2 =20%], seroma (OR 0.70; 95% CI 0.25-1.95; P =0.50; I 2 =5%), hematoma (OR 2.00; 95% CI 0.5-7.94; P =0.45; I 2 =0%), surgical site infection (OR 1.96; 95% CI 0.52-7.40; P =0.32; I 2 =0%), and overall complication (OR 0.80; 95% CI 0.37-1.74; P =0.58; I 2 =40%) rates were noted when comparing patients who underwent a preoperative weight loss intervention (prehabilitation or bariatric surgery) versus those who did not. In the subgroup analysis of patients who underwent bariatric surgery, we found no difference in hernia recurrence (OR 0.64; 95% CI 0.12-3.33; P = 0.59; I 2 =41%) or overall complications (OR 1.14; 95% CI 0.36-3.64; P =0.82; I 2 =64%). In the subgroup analysis of patients who lost weight versus patients who did not, there was no significant difference in overall complication rates (OR 0.86; 95% CI 0.34-2.21; P =0.76; I 2 =55%). CONCLUSIONS: We found similar hernia recurrence, seroma, hematoma, and surgical site infection rates in patients who underwent preoperative optimization. These findings underline the need for prospective studies to define the optimal role of preoperative optimization and weight loss in obese patients undergoing ventral hernia repair.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To prospectively evaluate safety and efficacy of the ultrathin strut biodegradable polymer-coated Supraflex sirolimus-eluting stent (S-SES) in 'real world' patient population requiring percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: National, prospective, multicentre, single-arm, all-comers, observational registry of 469 patients treated with S-SES from July 2015 and November 2016 in 11 centres in UK. Primary endpoint was target lesion failure (TLF) at 12 months (cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (MI) or clinically driven target lesion revascularisation (TLR)). Secondary endpoints included safety and performance outcomes at 12 months-overall stent thrombosis (ST), all-cause mortality, any MI, target vessel failure (TVF) and major adverse cardiac events (MACE-composite of cardiac death, MI, emergent or repeat revascularisation). RESULTS: At 12 months, the primary endpoint occurred in 11 (2.4%) of 466 patients, consisting of 4 (0.9%) cardiac deaths, 3 (0.6%) target vessel MI and 7 (1.5%) TLR. Secondary endpoints findings included all-cause mortality in 6 (1.3%), TVF of 14 (3%), no definite ST, 1 (0.2%) probable ST and 3 (0.6%) possible ST. Overall MACE was observed in 18 (3.9%). CONCLUSIONS: The S-FLEX UK registry showed that the S-SES is safe with a low incidence of TLF in routine clinical practise in patients with coronary artery disease being treated by PCI.

RESUMO

AIMS: Prophylactic corticosteroids have been reported to attenuate the increase in C-reactive protein (CRP) and the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) both after heart surgery and AF ablation. We tested the impact of a single prophylactic corticosteroid dose on ultrasensitive CRP 24 h and 14 days after extensive linear atrial ablation (8 mm or 3.5 irrigated tip) guided by electroanatomical mapping (NavX) in pigs with normal hearts. METHODS AND RESULTS: Pigs (n = 19; 35 kg) were divided into three groups: corticoid (n = 7), atrial ablation with administration of 500 mg methylprednisolone intravenous at anaesthetic induction; control (n = 7), atrial ablation only; and sham (n = 5), surgical procedure without ablation. Troponin and CRP were measured before, 24 h and 14 days after the procedure. After sacrifice, lesions were analysed macroscopically and histologically. Linear lesions were created in the right (n = 23) and left (n = 21) atrium of 14 animals, with no difference between groups. In all groups there was elevation of troponin and CRP 24 h after ablation, with a return to baseline values after 14 days. However, CRP levels of the control, corticoid, and sham groups were similar at all three time points analysed (baseline P = 0.52, 24 h P = 0.21, 14 days P = 0.66). Histological analysis did not show any difference between corticoid and control groups. CONCLUSION: In this model, extensive biatrial RF ablation, per se, does not promote systemic inflammation. The use of a prophylactic single corticoid dose before ablation did not prevent systemic inflammation or alter the healing of the lesions.

RESUMO

AIMS: Corticosteroids attenuate late growth of radiofrequency (RF) lesions in the thigh muscle of infant rats. We sought to assess the impact of these drugs on the late growth of RF lesions in immature swine myocardium and to determine the electroanatomical mapping (EAM) characteristics of these lesions. METHODS AND RESULTS: Radiofrequency (60°C; 60 s) lesions were created in the right atrium (n = 2) and ventricle (n = 2) of 14 piglets (age 65 days; weight 5 kg) and 3 adults. Piglets were divided into: controls (n = 7) and treated (n = 7), receiving hydrocortisone (10 mg/kg iv after RF) and prednisone (1 mg/kg/day) for 29 days. After 8 months, animals were sacrificed for histological analysis. In four piglets, endocardial and epicardial voltage EAM were performed. In infant groups, the dimensions of atrial (11 ± 5 vs. 13 ± 7 mm) and ventricular (12 ± 3 vs. 11 ± 3 mm) lesions were similar. In adults, atrial (6 ± 1 mm) and ventricular (6 ± 1 mm) lesions were smaller. In controls, ventricular lesions depicted dense fibrosis and multiple strands of fibrous tissue extending from the lesion into normal muscle. Treated piglets revealed scars exhibiting less dense fibrosis with predominance of fibroadipose tissue and less collagen proliferation. Large atrial and ventricular low-voltage areas corresponding to the macroscopic lesions were identified in all animals. CONCLUSION: Radiofrequency lesions in infant pigs reveal late growth and invasion of normal muscle by intense collagen proliferation. Corticosteroids do not prevent late enlargement of the lesions but modulate the fibrotic proliferation. The expressive growth of the lesion may generate low-voltage areas detectable by EAM.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We explored the angiographic and pathological effects of corticosteroids on the long-term outcome of radiofrequency (RF) ablation lesions in the swine caval veins. METHODS: Under fluoroscopy guidance, a single linear RF lesion (4-mm tip, 60 degrees C, 180 seconds) was created in each vena cava (from +/-2 cm into the vein to the venoatrial junction) of 20 anesthetized minipigs (35+/- 2 kg). Three groups were studied: acute (n = 4), killed 1 hour after RF; control (n = 8), sacrificed 83+/- 1 days after RF; and pigs (n = 8) receiving hydrocortisone (400 mg i.v. after RF) and prednisone (25 mg po for 30 days), killed 83+/- 1 days post-RF. Angiography was performed before, immediately after ablation, and at follow-up. Then, animals were sacrificed for histological analysis. RESULTS: Mild (<40%) or moderate (41-70%) acute luminal narrowing occurred in 19/20 (95%) inferior veins and in 13/20 (65%) superior veins. Severe (>70%) stenosis and occlusions were not noted. At follow-up, in both chronic groups, mean vessel diameters returned to baseline and progression of luminal narrowing did not occur in any vein. Of note, superior and inferior vena cava angiographic diameter for control and treated pigs did not differ. The same was observed for the cross-sectional luminal area. Acute lesions displayed transmural coagulative necrosis whereas chronic lesions revealed marked fibrosis. Histological findings were similar in controls and treated pigs. CONCLUSION: In this model, mild and moderate stenosis, occurring immediately after ablation, seems to resolve over time. Corticosteroids do not affect the long-term outcome of such RF lesions in the caval veins.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although radiofrequency (RF) ablation within the caval veins has been increasingly used to treat a variety of atrial tachyarrhythmias, the consequences of RF ablation in the caval veins are unknown. We explored the acute and chronic angiographic and pathological effects of extensive RF ablation in the caval veins. METHODS: Under fluoroscopy guidance, conventional (4 mm tip, 60 degrees C, 60 seconds) RF applications (n = 6-7) were delivered in each vena cava (from +/-2 cm into the vein to the veno-atrial junction) of 15 dogs (10 +/- 3 kg). Animals were killed 1 hour and 5 weeks after ablation for histological analysis. Angiography was performed before ablation (acute dogs only) and at sacrifice to assess the degree of vascular stenosis. RESULTS: In acute dogs (n = 5), luminal narrowing was noted in 10/10 (100%) targeted veins (mild in two; moderate in three and severe in five, including two total occlusions). In the six chronic animals that completed the protocol (four died during follow-up), stenosis was also observed in 12/12 (100%) ablated veins (mild in six; moderate in four and severe in two). Of these, one superior vena cava was suboccluded with development of extensive collateral circulation. Histologically, acute lesions displayed typical transmural coagulative necrosis, whereas chronic lesions revealed intimal proliferation, necrotic muscle replaced with collagen, endovascular contraction, and disruption and thickening of the internal elastic lamina. CONCLUSION: In this model, extensive RF ablation in the caval veins may result in significant vascular stenosis. These findings may have implications for catheter ablation of arrhythmias originating within the caval veins.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Anal stenosis is a rare, incapacitating, and challenging condition, occurring mainly after hemorrhoidectomy, for which several surgical techniques have been devised. The purpose of this study was to describe early and late (1 year) results of 77 anoplasty operations performed in the Colorectal Unit of our institution. METHODS: From 1977 to 2002, 77 patients with moderate to severe anal stenosis underwent surgery using two sliding graft techniques: 58 underwent Sarner's operation and 19 underwent Musiari's technique. Bilateral flaps were used in 7 patients. RESULTS: Early morbidity was due to pruritus occurring in 2 patients, urinary infection in 1, and temporary incontinence in 1 patient. One patient needed early reoperation following suture line dehiscence. Late results (1 year) were classified as good in 67 cases (87%). There was no reoperation due to recurrence of stenosis. CONCLUSION: The ease of performance, good functional results, and lack of severe complications show that Sarner's and Musiari's flap advancement techniques are effective and safe methods for surgical correction of anal stenosis, particularly when cutaneous fibrosis plays a major role in its etiology.
