   Abstract : Incisional hernia is one of the most common complications (5–20%) after abdominal surgery. Surgery is the only option to cure a hernia. Symptoms of an incisional hernia depend on the size of the abdominal wall defect and the protruding tissue. About 30% of the patients with an incisional hernia will have an operation performed.

5. 3. Minimally invasive hernia surgery

   Author : Sven Bringman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Inguinal hernia; minimally invasive; laparoscopic; TEP; TAPP; Lichtenstein; Meshplug; tension-free; mesh; balloon; rehabilitation; Swedish Hernia Register; learning curve; complications; intestinal obstruction; polypropylene; polyglactin.;

   Abstract : Minimally invasive laparoscopic and open tension-free techniques have been evolved during the 1990's. Different laparoscopic techniques have been used, where the totally extraperitoneal hernioplasty (TEP) is a technically demanding but probably a better approach to minimally invasive hernia surgery than the transabdominal preperitoneal technique (TAPP), which may increase the risk of adhesions and postoperative intestinal obstruction.

6. 4. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) interventions and outcome from colorectal surgery

   Author : Daniel Asklid; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Although immense progress has been made in the fields of chemo- and radiotherapy during the last decades, surgery is still the ultimate cure for the majority of patients with colorectal cancer. Since colorectal cancer most often presents at a high age and in patients often suffering from a large burden of comorbidity, it is important to develop strategies to improve postoperative recovery and outcome, not only for the patient, but also from a health economic perspective.

7. 5. Laparoscopic and open surgery for colon cancer : studies on costs and health related quality of life

   Author : Martin Janson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Colon cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in the Western world, and the basis for treatment is surgery. Laparoscopic colon resection (LCR) has been developed since the early 1990s. Short- and longterm outcomes between LCR and open colon resection (OCR) have been compared in randomised controlled trials (RCTs). READ MORE
