Rives-Stoppa Repair Versus Bilateral Inguinal Hernioplasty: A Comprehensive Review of Surgical Techniques and Patient Outcomes.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Hernia repair surgery is a common procedure to address the protrusion of organs or tissues through weakened muscles or connective tissue. This review compares two prominent surgical techniques for hernia repair: the Rives-Stoppa repair and bilateral inguinal hernioplasty. The Rives-Stoppa repair involves a posterior approach with extensive mesh placement suitable for complex and recurrent hernias. In contrast, bilateral inguinal hernioplasty focuses on simultaneously repairing bilateral hernias, potentially reducing operative time and enhancing recovery. This review examines each approach's technical aspects, including incision methods, mesh placement, and closure techniques. Patient outcomes, such as postoperative pain, recovery time, recurrence rates, and quality of life, are critically analyzed based on current research and clinical data. Economic considerations are also evaluated, encompassing each technique's cost-effectiveness and economic impact. By synthesizing these findings, this review aims to provide valuable insights for surgeons, healthcare providers, and policymakers in optimizing hernia repair strategies. The evolving landscape of surgical techniques and materials underscores the importance of ongoing research to refine practices and improve outcomes for patients undergoing hernia repair surgery.
