In a surgical trauma center, programs and workshops have improved the performance on focused abdominal sonogram for trauma (FAST). The purpose of this single-blind study was to prove that a cadaver laboratory competency-based instruction program may be an effective method of FAST training to acquire the skills that would be applied in the trauma ro...
The extraperitoneal laparoscopic approach (EXTRA) has been shown to be an effective and safe repair for primary (PIH), recurrent (RIH) and bilateral hernia (BIH). There is very little data examining the merits of laparoscopic repair for hernias under local anesthesia. In this' paper, we compare EXTRA performed under both general and local anesthesi...
Scrotal and perineal gangrene of the male genitalia was first described by Fournier in 1883. Treatment of the disease remains surgical despite the availability of modern antibiotics. Many authors advocate a wide debridement of all tissue superficial to the involved fascial layers. We have reviewed our experience of using wide and minimal debridemen...
In 1975, researchers introduced the use of a large unsutured polyester mesh prosthesis placed in the preperitoneal space for inguinal hernia repair. Different stapling devices have been used to secure this mesh, and the most common complication of the procedure is nerve damage secondary to the staples. The necessity of stapling has never been demon...
The purpose of this study is 2-fold: 1) to assess the accuracy of the Focused Abdominal Sonogram for Trauma (FAST) as an important evaluative tool for the trauma victim as compared with other objective testing resources (i.e., computerized axial tomography scan); and 2) to analyze the cost-effectiveness of FAST as performed by surgical residents as...
Background: In 1975, researchers introduced the use of a large unsutured polyester mesh prosthesis placed in the preperitoneal space for inguinal hernia repair. Different stapling devices have been used to secure this mesh, and the most common complication of the procedure is nerve damage secondary to the staples. The necessity of stapling has neve...

... Recommendations regarding the duration of time required to teach participants in the use of FAST vary from 1 hour of practical experience to educational programs lasting 32 hours [20,21]. However, most studies support our findings that FAST can be taught effectively and efficiently during courses lasting only one day [22]. ...
... Nine trials reported return to daily life [14,20,21,23,25,28,38,39,41]. The median return to daily life with mesh fixation was 8 days. ...
... Six studies examined US in the setting of acute trauma [29][30][31][32][33][34]. They found that US decreases time to the operating room for patients with injury, decreases the use of CT scans in children, decreases length of stay, and decreases invasive procedures such as peritoneal lavage in adults. ...

... The remaining 25 studies were read and rescreened; 4 studies without a control group, 2 studies without outcome indicators, and 4 nonrandomized controlled studies were excluded. After the above layer-by-layer screening, 15 [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] studies were finally included. The screening process is shown in Fig. 1. ...

... Its disadvantages include long hospital stay, postoperative urinary and cardiovascular complications and it is more expensive. With Local Anesthesia; although anesthesia time is shorter the mean duration of surgery may be prolonged [5] .Transient femoral nerve palsy is a recently documented complication that can lead to delayed ambulation in a considerable number of patients [6] .High incidence of wound infection and wound hematomas are other important consequences [7] . We performed this study to compare between local anesthesia and general anesthesia in open hernia repair to show the outcomes of these two methods. ...
