Purpose: Primary ventral hernia repair is a common elective procedure; however, mesh placement practices vary widely, and there is limited evidence to guide optimal placement. This international study examined surgeons' preferences and considerations regarding mesh placement in elective primary ventral hernia repair.
Methods: We conducted an international cross-sectional survey targeting surgeons experienced in primary ventral hernia repair.

We describe a modified Park's stitch technique incorporating systematic free margin alignment to achieve complete elimination of aortic regurgitation in patients with a left ventricular assist device. The technique involves a two-step approach: first, free margin alignment of all three cusps using single interrupted 6-0 polypropylene sutures placed at the nodules of Arantius to achieve precise coaptation, followed by conventional Park's stitch using mattress sutures with autologous pericardial pledgets for central closure. The alignment sutures remain in place to provide reinforcement.

Intraocular repair for subluxation of a multifocal intraocular lens (MFIOL) can be challenging, especially in toric models. Herein, we report a case of a 43-year-old man with a subluxated toric-type single-piece trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) with a C-loop that was spared using suture repositioning. Pars plana suturing was performed using the haptic externalization technique, and the tram-track suture technique was employed to flatten the tilted toric MFIOL.

A De Garengeot hernia describes the rare occurrence of an appendix located within a femoral hernia sac. An incidence of appendiceal inflammation associated with a De Garengeot hernia is an even rarer surgical finding. A woman in her 70s presented to a district general hospital with a two-week history of a mildly tender right-sided groin lump.

While surgical correction is the standard for CS, the management of cases with concurrent positional head shape deformities remains undefined. This study aims to describe clinical outcomes in this subset of patients and evaluate the role of adjunct orthotic therapy in their management.
