Application of a custom-made single-incision sealing device in laparoscopic surgery for totally extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy: initial experience.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: In this research, the safety and feasibility of single-incision laparoscopic surgery for total intraperitoneal herniorrhaphy (SILS-TEP) was clarified through a customized single-port device. Methods: A 2.5 cm curved incision was made along the lower umbilical margin. The subcutaneous fatty tissue was removed by electrotomy or blunt dissection to form a 5.0 cm preperitoneal space under the posterior sheath. The Iconport single-hole device silicone sealing sleeve was wedged under the posterior rectus sheath and inflated with CO Results: Successful SILS-TEP hernia repair was performed in 63 patients. The mean operative times for unilateral indirect hernia were 65.5 [40-110] minutes. The mean operative times for unilateral direct hernia, and femoral were 51.3 [36-83] minutes, respectively. Six seroma cases were seen during the 1- to 32-month follow-up periods, and all patients recovered after conservative treatment. No other major complications were observed. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 3.3 days. Conclusions: With the assistance of a suitable single-port laparoscopic device, SILS-TEP umbilical incision under the posterior rectus sheath is a safe and feasible method.
