J Surg Res 2024; 295:131-138. [PMID: 38007860 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2023.10.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/28/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Counseling patients and parents about the postoperative recovery expectations for physical activity after pediatric appendectomy varies significantly and is not specific to patients' demographic characteristics. Consumer wearable devices (CWD) can be used to objectively assess patients' normative postoperative recovery of physical activity. This study aimed to develop demographic-specific normative physical activity recovery trajectories using CWD in pediatric patients undergoing appendectomy. METHODS Children ages 3-18 y old undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis were recruited. Patients wore a Fitbit device for 21 d postoperatively and daily step counts were measured. Patients with postoperative complications were excluded. Segmented regression models were fitted and time-to-plateau was estimated for patients with simple and complicated appendicitis separately for each age group, sex, race/ethnicity, and body mass index category. RESULTS Among 147 eligible patients; 76 (51.7%) were female, 86 (58.5%) were in the younger group, and 79 (53.7%) had complicated appendicitis. Patients 3-11 y old demonstrated a faster trajectory to a physical activity plateau compared to those 12-18 in both simple (postoperative day [POD] 9 versus POD 17) and complicated appendicitis (POD 17 versus POD 21). Males and females had a similar postoperative recovery trajectory in simple and complicated appendicitis. There was no clear pattern differentiating trajectories based on race/ethnicity. Overweight/obese patients demonstrated a slower recovery trajectory in simple appendicitis. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that factors other than the disease itself, such as age, may affect recovery, suggesting the need for more tailored discharge instructions. CWDs can improve our understanding of recovery and allow for better data-driven counseling perioperatively.

Abstract
PURPOSE Midline abdominal incisions (MAIs) are widely used in both open and minimally invasive surgery. Incisional hernia (IH) accounts for most long-term postoperative wound complications. This study explored the risk factors for IH due to MAI in patients with clean-contaminated wounds after elective gastroenterological surgery. METHODS The present study targeted patients enrolled in 2 randomized controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative interventions for incisional SSI prevention after gastroenterological surgery for clean-contaminated wounds. The patients were reassessed, and pre- and intraoperative variables and postoperative outcomes were collected. IH was defined as any abdominal wall gap, regardless of bulge, in the area of a postoperative scar that was perceptible or palpable on clinical examination or computed tomography according to the European Hernia Society guidelines. The risk factors for IH were identified using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS The study population included 1,281 patients, of whom 273 (21.3%) developed IH. Seventy-four (5.8%) patients developed incisional SSI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that female sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.39; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03-1.86, p = 0.031), high preoperative body mass index (OR, 1.81; 95% CI 1.19-2.77, p = 0.006), incisional SSI (OR, 2.29; 95% CI 1.34-3.93, p = 0.003), and postoperative body weight increase (OR, 1.49; 95% CI 1.09-2.04, p = 0.012) were independent risk factors for IH due to MAI in patients who underwent elective gastroenterological surgery. CONCLUSION We identified postoperative body weight increase at one year as a novel risk factor for IH in patients with MAI after elective gastroenterological surgery.

Abstract
Laparotomy incisions provide easy and rapid access to the peritoneal cavity in case of emergency surgery. Incisional hernia (IH) is a late manifestation of the failure of abdominal wall closure and represents frequent complication of any abdominal incision: IHs can cause pain and discomfort to the patients but also clinical serious sequelae like bowel obstruction, incarceration, strangulation, and necessity of reoperation. Previous guidelines and indications in the literature consider elective settings and evidence about laparotomy closure in emergency settings is lacking. This paper aims to present the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) project called ECLAPTE (Effective Closure of LAParoTomy in Emergency): the final manuscript includes guidelines on the closure of emergency laparotomy.

Updated guideline for closure of abdominal wall incisions from the European and American Hernia Societies. Br J Surg 2022; 109:1239-1250. [PMID: 36026550 PMCID: PMC10364727 DOI: 10.1093/bjs/znac302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 74] [Impact Index Per Article: 37.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 05/28/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Incisional hernia is a frequent complication of abdominal wall incision. Surgical technique is an important risk factor for the development of incisional hernia. The aim of these updated guidelines was to provide recommendations to decrease the incidence of incisional hernia. METHODS A systematic literature search of MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL was performed on 22 January 2022. The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network instrument was used to evaluate systematic reviews and meta-analyses, RCTs, and cohort studies. The GRADE approach (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation) was used to appraise the certainty of the evidence. The guidelines group consisted of surgical specialists, a biomedical information specialist, certified guideline methodologist, and patient representative. RESULTS Thirty-nine papers were included covering seven key questions, and weak recommendations were made for all of these. Laparoscopic surgery and non-midline incisions are suggested to be preferred when safe and feasible. In laparoscopic surgery, suturing the fascial defect of trocar sites of 10 mm and larger is advised, especially after single-incision laparoscopic surgery and at the umbilicus. For closure of an elective midline laparotomy, a continuous small-bites suturing technique with a slowly absorbable suture is suggested. Prophylactic mesh augmentation after elective midline laparotomy can be considered to reduce the risk of incisional hernia; a permanent synthetic mesh in either the onlay or retromuscular position is advised. CONCLUSION These updated guidelines may help surgeons in selecting the optimal approach and location of abdominal wall incisions.
