Dec 6, 2018
PURPOSE: The number of robot-assisted hernia repairs is increasing, but the potential benefits have not been well described. The aim of this study was to evaluate the available literature reporting on outcomes after robot-assisted hernia repairs.
BACKGROUND: The utilization of robotic platforms for general surgery procedures such as hernia repair is growing rapidly in the United States. A limited amount of data are available evaluating operative outcomes in comparison to standard laparoscopic...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative urinary retention remains a common complication after totally extraperitoneal groin hernia repair, often prolonging hospitalization and increasing patient discomfort. This study aimed to develop a prediction model using mach...
BACKGROUND: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) American College of Surgeons (ACS) risk calculator is a validated method of predicting postoperative complications that was recently updated to a machine-learning structure. The ob...
