Quick Notes
This is a polypropylene mesh used for hernioplasty, this provides structural support to a weak defect, it gained widespread popularity especially with inguinal hernias (Lichtenstein tension-free hernioplasty), it can be used for recurrent paraumbilical hernias…
Indications
-Direct hernia.
-Recurrent hernia.
-Re-recurrent hernia.
-Incisional hernia.
-Old age.
-Hernia with weak abdominal muscle tone.
-Sliding hernia.
Complications:
-Infection.
-Mesh extrusion.
-Foreign body reaction.
-Mesh inguinodynia causing hyperaesthesia and pain along the distribution of ilioinguinal or iliohypogastric nerve.
Contraindications:
-In strangulated hernia, Why?
Because the field is potentially infected.

Types of operations:
-Lichtenstein tension free onlay mesh repair. "most common".
-Nyhus preperitoneal mesh repair.
-Gilbert’s PHS (Prolene Hernia System) repair.
-Gilbert mesh repair (patch and plug).
-Modified Rives preperitoneal mesh repair (Read-Rives).
Now, using laparoscope:
-Transabdominal preperitoneal laparoscopic mesh repair (TAPP repair).
-Totally Extraperitoneal Repair (TEP Repair).

US Criteria of Acute cholecystitis:

-Biliary sludge "turbid bile"
-Thickened wall
-Strip of fluid" pericholecystitis"

Recognizing acute cholecystitis on US:
-The presence of gallstones, possibly impacted in the neck of the gallbladder or cystic duct) (Fig. 21-5)
-Thickening of the gallbladder wall (>3 mm) (see Fig. 21-5, A)
-Pericholecystic fluid (fluid around the gallbladder) (see Fig. 21-5, B)
- A positive sonographic Murphy sign (A positive Murphy sign in this case is pain that is elicited by compression of the gallbladder with the US probe).
•In the presence of gallstones and gallbladder wall thickening, US has a positive predictive value for acute cholecystitis as high as 94%.

PDS (Polydioxanone synthetic smooth suture):
-Synthetic, absorbable.
-It is monofilamentous,so it is useful in suturing infected or contaminated wounds.
-Time of absorption: 6 months.
-intended for use ingeneral soft tissue approximation, including paediatric CV tissue, microsurgery and ophthalmic surgery.

Remember:
-Aaron's "هارون" sign: is a referred pain felt in the epigastriumupon continuous firm pressure over McBurney's point. It is indicative of appendicitis.
-Aaron's sign is named for Charles Dettie Aaron, an American gastroenterologist.
