Short-term outcomes of inguinal hernia repair in octogenarians and nonagenarians
TL;DR: Elective inguinal hernia repair can be safely performed in octogenarians with low morbidity and mortality but is increased in nonagenarians, and effort should be made to electively repair inguINAL hernias early in this elderly population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Looking past the lump: genetic aspects of inguinal hernia in children.
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the literature aims to provide a diagnostic framework to aid in the identification of patients with inguinal hernia as part of underlying genetic disease.

Rita Compagna,Roberto Rossi,Francesca Fappiano,Tommaso Bianco,Antonello Accurso,Michele Danzi,Salvatore Massa,Giovanni Aprea,Bruno Amato +8 more
TL;DR: The data suggests that a quick diagnosis and elective surgical procedures are desirable in order to avoid the complications that occur in emergency operations.

Bruno Amato,Rita Compagna,Francesca Fappiano,Roberto Rossi,Tommaso Bianco,Michele Danzi,Antonello Accurso,Raffaele Serra,Giovanni Aprea,Salvatore Massa +9 more
TL;DR: Age, comorbidity and higher ASA risk should not be a barrier to elective day surgery in elderly patients, andAmbulatory surgery is feasible also in older patients.

Journal ArticleDOI
The determination of hydroxyproline in tissue and protein samples containing small proportions of this imino acid.
TL;DR: Method has been applied to a study of hydroxyproline distribution in cell particulates, tissue fluids, and purified plant and animal proteins, and significant amounts of hydroXYproline were found in crystalline preparations of pepsin, elastase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defective collagen synthesis in inguinal herniation
TL;DR: It is suggested that the cause of herniation in the adult lies in a reduced collagen synthesis by the fibroblasts, thus rendering the abdominal aponeuroses weaker.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of chelating agents on collagen interfibrillar matrix interactions in connective tissue.
TL;DR: It is suggested that metal ions play a part in the interaction of collagen fibrils and the interfibrillar matrix in tendon, indicating the chemical purity of the collagen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attenuation of the rectus sheath in inguinal herniation.
Raymond C. Read,Raymond C. Read +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that in inguinal herniation the rectus sheath unrelated to the defect is thinner than normal, and a patent processus vaginalis allows herniated with less atrophy than in direct defects.
