To determine whether there were additional inguinal hernia risk alleles in the four inguinal hernia susceptibility loci, we repeated the GWA analysis in the GERA sample conditioning on the top associated SNPs at each of the four loci. We did not observe any other SNPs that were significantly asso...
Objectives Several studies have reported on the ability to reduce post-operative pain following Inguinal Hernia repair by self-fixating mesh. Our study examines the overall cost increases when post operative pain following Inguinal Hernia Repair is significant enough to be reported by an ICD-9 ...

This study evaluated outcomes in patients who underwent open (OIHR), laparoscopic (LIHR) or robotic (RIHR) inguinal hernia repair using a national database.MethodsThe Vizient clinical database was queried using ICD-9 and ICD-10 procedure and diagnosis codes for RIHR, LIHR, and OIHR from ...
Inguinal herniaLiver transplantPurposePatients with liver cirrhosis (LC) are at an increased risk for postoperative complications after open inguinal hernia repair (OIHR). It is possible that orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) recipients may have better outcomes, given reversal of liver failure ...
Adult patients with an ICD-9 or CPT code for inguinal hernia repair from 2012 to 2014 were included. Patients with continuous enrollment for 6 mo prior to surgery and 6 mo after surgery were analyzed. Related healthcare service costs (readmission and/or ER visit and/or outpatient visit) ...

BackgroundThis study compares the impact of open (OIHR) versus laparoscopic (LIHR) inguinal hernia repair on healthcare spending and postoperative outcomes.MethodsThe TRUVEN database was queried using ICD9 procedure codes for open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted IHR, from 2012 to 2013. ...
Introduction Despite growing popularity for laparoscopy in inguinal hernia repairs (IHR), debate still exists over whether a laparoscopic approach is better than traditional open repair. This study aims to identify the relative safety between laparoscopic and open IHR with a sub-analysis of local and...
