Incisional hernia is a significant problem after laparotomy, and there is still no consensus on an ideal treatment method. The aim of this study was to compare the results of onlay and sublay mesh repair techniques. ⋯ In the treatment of incisional hernia, sublay mesh repair is superior to onlay mesh repair in terms of postoperative pain and wound complications. Both techniques have similar recurrence rates.

Pericardial tamponade is a life-threatening medical emergency, when the hemodynamic consequences of low cardiac output severely disturb the perfusion of the peripheral tissues. Our aim was to design a reliable large animal model to reproduce the clinical scenario with the relevant pathophysiological consequences of pericardial tamponade -induced cardiogenic shock. ⋯ This experimental model suitably mimics the hemodynamics and the pathology of clinical pericardial tamponade situations, and on this basis, it provides an opportunity to study the adverse macro- and micro-circulatory effects and biochemical consequences of human cardiogenic shock.
