Mesh repair of hernias of the abdominal wall
TL;DR: A randomized clinical trial to compare mesh and non-mesh repair for inguinal hernias is performed and the preferential method of hernia repair is discussed in an editorial.
Book ChapterDOI
Epidemiology and Etiology of Primary Groin Hernias
TL;DR: There is an unmet need for groin hernia surgery with many patients being denied access by their family doctor and once referred, surgeons seem to act as gatekeepers and may indeed “cherry-pick.”
Book ChapterDOI
The Biology of Hernia Formation
TL;DR: In this article, a decreased type I to III collagen ratio has been demonstrated in the fascia of patients with inguinal or incisional hernias, leading to thinner collagen fibers with less strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of hydroxyproline and nitric oxide, and comparison of sac fluid acidity in different inguinal pathologies.
TL;DR: Hydxyproline and nitric oxide pathways do not seem to be responsible for the different characteristics of inguinal diseases, however, differences in the acidity of sac fluid may be evidence of the different mechanisms of hernia and hydrocele formation.

TL;DR: The multiple occurrence of groin hernias, either unilaterally or bilaterally, was a clinical feature in the elderly, observed during laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal TAPP hernia repair.

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.

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.

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.
