We revealed that inflammation is an independent predictor of BDI occurrence during LC. Therefore, it would be advisable for surgeons to not hesitate to convert a LC to an OC in the presence of inflammation.
TAPP repair is a technically demanding laparoscopic technique, but once mastered, is safe and effective with a high degree of patient satisfaction. Stapling the mesh is not necessary in most cases, thus resulting in a remarkably low cost. The rapid rehabilitation typically associated with laparoscopic surgery was seen in all our patients. The low recurrence rate (1% in our series) compares favorably to other tension-free techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
