2. 16. Bleeding in abdominal aortic aneurysm repair

   Author : Carl Montán; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : bleeding;

   Abstract : Background and aims: Massive bleeding in open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is associated with worse outcome. However, few studies have investigated specific problems related to perioperative bleeding and blood transfusion in elective or emergent AAA repair with open (OR) or endovascular (EVAR) aneurysm repair.

4. 17. Meniscectomy, meniscal repair, and prosthetic substitution : Clinical and experimental investigations

   Author : Karola Messner; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : This study comprising 7 papers is concerned with different treatment of meniscal injuries. The aim was to analyse today's clinical methods and the possibility for prosthetic substitution in the future. Open peripheral meniscal repair was compared with partial arthroscopic meniscectomy in a 7·year follow-up evaluation of 130 patients. READ MORE

   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Abdominal aortic aneurysm; juxtarenal aneurysm; endovascular repair; fenestrated endovascular repair; imaging; computed tomography; ultrasound.;

   Abstract : Treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms has shifted rapidly from open surgery to minimally invasive endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). However, anatomical limitations such as short or absent proximal sealing neck and poor access vessels exclude up to 50% of patients. READ MORE

6. 19. Male inguinal hernia repair with mesh. Short- and long-term results and the question of infertility

   Author : Magnus Hallén; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hernia repair; groin hernia; inguinal hernia; Lichtenstein; TEP; mesh; male infertility;

   Abstract : Background: In the nineties, the patients with inguinal hernias were exposed to several newly developed repair techniques using alloplastic mesh prosthesis. Although the scientific knowledge was limited, the new techniques were rapidly introduced due to surgical enthusiasm, but also by an eagerness to reduce the recurrence rate and to shorten the time to recovery.

7. 20. Femoral and Inguinal Hernia : How to Minimize Adverse Outcomes Following Repair

   Author : Ursula Dahlstrand; Ulf Gunnarsson; Gabriel Sandblom; Staffan Wollert; Andrew Kingsnorth; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; femoral hernia; inguinal hernia; adverse outcome; complication; recurrence; chronic pain; long-term pain; emergency; mortality; TEP; Lichtenstein; local anesthesia; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : Groin hernia is common, and each year 200 repairs per 100 000 adult inhabitants are performed in Sweden. Groin hernias are either inguinal or femoral (2-4%). Elective repair is not associated with an excess mortality, but adverse outcomes include recurrence and long-term pain. READ MORE
