Einflussfaktoren der Narbenhernienentstehung Retrospektive Untersuchung an 2.983 laparotomierten Patienten über einen Zeitraum von 10 Jahren
TL;DR: The calculated incisional hernia incidence for a 10 year period of almost 20% and the manifestation of 50% of all hernias more than 12 months after the operation, underline the necessity to intensify surgical research in the field of laparotomy healing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The biology of hernia formation.
TL;DR: Increased collagen breakdown mediated by matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is suggested to be involved in inguinal hernia formation and published data point towards hernia disease as an inherited disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collagen I/III and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 1 and 13 in the fascia of patients with incisional hernias.
TL;DR: The results give evidence of the existence of a possible collagen disorder in patients with incisional hernias and recurrent incisions, which might explain the poor results of a mesh-free hernia repair, which builds up scar tissue of inadequate collagen composition and strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incisional hernias. I. Related risk factors.
TL;DR: The authors review the literature emphasizing the current knowledge concerning the pathogenesis of incisional hernias, and focuses on the treatment.

Journal ArticleDOI
An improved method for colorimetric determination of proline with isatin
TL;DR: A simple improved method for determining proline using isatin as the color reagent has been developed and has been successfully applied to determine proline in serum and acid hydrolyzates of proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preperitoneal exposure of inguinal herniation.
TL;DR: It is concluded that satisfactory repair can be performed through this exposure which has definite advantages and compared to those of the conventional approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pre-extraperitoneal approach to inguinofemoral herniorrhaphy.
TL;DR: It was concluded that preperitoneal herniorrhaphy should be used in femoral hernia, recurrent herniation, bilateral hernias, cryptorchidism, slidingHernia, and cases of incarceration or strangulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The saccular theory of hernia.
TL;DR: It is, I submit, by a close study of the anamnesis followed by a careful investigation of the parts implicated in the disease, during the life of the patint, that the surest foundations for accurate diagnostic power be built.
