Surgical Strategy for Contralateral Groin Management in Patients Scheduled for Unilateral Inguinal Hernia Repair: An International Web-Based Surveymonkey® Questionnaire: Strategy for Contralateral Groin Management during Inguinal Hernia Repair KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: A contralateral occult inguinal hernia is frequently observed in patients planned for a unilateral laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Surgical strategy for contralateral groin management in patients scheduled for an endo-laparoscopic unilateral inguinal hernia repair is controversial and based on questionable evidence. This study aimed to gather international opinion concerning the surgical strategy for the contralateral ...
Cement hydration and microstructure in concrete repairs with cementitious repair materials Universiteit Gent
Performance and repair requirements for surface repairs KU Leuven
This paper is a summary of a document prepared by RILEM TC 203-RHM on Repair mortars for historic masonry. It deals with requirements for the design of a repair mortar used for surface repairs of architectural surfaces. It considers design issues and requirements for mortar mixes which can be made at the construction site and it focuses on mortar mixes based on lime, lime-pozzolana and cement binding systems.
Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair in Men With Lightweight Meshes May Significantly Impair Sperm Motility: A Randomized Controlled Trial KU Leuven
OBJECTIVE:: To compare quality of life and fertility aspects after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in men using a heavyweight or lightweight mesh. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA:: The use of lightweight meshes in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair could have beneficial effects on quality of life and preservation of the spermatic structures due to a decreased foreign-body reaction. METHODS:: A total of 59 male patients planned for primary, ...
Global variation in cleft palate repairs: an analysis of 352,191 primary cleft repairs in low- to higher-middle-income countries Universiteit Gent
Starting an aortic valve repair program: is it worthwhile? Aortic valve repair compared to replacement KU Leuven
OBJECTIVES: Increasing evidence suggests that aortic valve (AV) repair may have better long-term outcomes than AV replacement for aortic insufficiency. However, most literature is limited to centres of excellence and has not sufficiently been replicated in nascent programs. This single-centre experience of a newly established AV repair program aims to compare short-term outcomes of AV sparing versus replacement surgery. METHODS: A retrospective ...
Robot-assisted repair of complicated inguinal hernia : advantages in comparison with conventional repair Universiteit Gent Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The adoption rate of robot-assisted surgery has skyrocketed in recent years, despite limited evidence, an unclear clinical benefit, and an increase in cost. The laparoscopic approach to inguinal hernia repair by either transabdominal or extraperitoneal approach has gradually gained traction owing to distinct advantages over traditional open repairs. Although robotic inguinal hernia repair has been established as a safe alternative to ...
Laparoscopic Injection of Tissue Adhesives for Inguinal Hernia Repair in a Rabbit Model: Results of an Experimental Comparative Study with the Standard Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair KU Leuven
Background: The injection of tissue adhesives has been proposed as an alternative to standard laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair but no evidence is available in the pediatric population. This study aimed to evaluate safety, efficacy, and feasibility of injection of tissue adhesives for inguinal hernia repair in a rabbit model. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six New Zealand White ...
