Three-dimensional reconstruction under computed tomography and myopectineal orifice measurement under laparoscopy for quality control of inguinal hernia treatment.

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
backgroundInguinal hernias are common after surgery. Tension-free repair is widely accepted as the main method for managing inguinal hernias. Adequate exposure, coverage, and repair of the myopectineal orifice (MPO) are necessary. However, due to differences in race and sex, people's body shapes vary. According to European guidelines, the patch should measure 10 cm × 15 cm. If any part of the MPO is dissected, injury to the nerves, vascular network, or organs may occur during surgery, thereby leading to inguinal discomfort, pain, and seroma formation after surgery. Therefore, accurate localization and measurement of the boundary of the MPO are crucial for selecting the optimal patch for inguinal hernia repair.
aimTo compare the size of the MPO measured on three-dimensional multislice spiral computed tomography (CT) with that measured
methodsClinical data from 74 patients who underwent laparoscopic tension-free inguinal hernia repair at the General Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Science and Technology between September 2022 and July 2024 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Transabdominal preperitoneal was performed. Sixty-four males and 10 females, with an average age of 58.30 ± 12.32 years, were included. The clinical data of the patients were collected. The boundary of the MPO was measured on three-dimensional CT images before surgery and then again during transabdominal preperitoneal. All the preoperative and intraoperative data were analyzed
resultsThe boundaries of the MPO on 3-dimensional CT images measured 7.05 ± 0.47 cm and 6.27 ± 0.61 cm, and the area of the MPO was 19.54 ± 3.33 cm
conclusionThe application of this technology can aid in determining the most appropriate dissection range and patch size.
