Comparison of Postoperative Outcomes of Laparoscopic vs Open Inguinal Hernia Repair Open
Importance Advocates of laparoscopic surgery argue that all inguinal hernias, including initial and unilateral ones, should be repaired laparoscopically. Prior work suggests outcomes of open repair are improved by using local rather than g…

Abstract 136: Short Duration 9-cis Retinoid Acid Therapy is Sufficient to Improve Functional Lymphatic Drainage in Post-Surgical Lymphedema Open
PURPOSE: 9-cis Retinoic Acid (9-cis RA), prevents postsurgical lymphedema and is associated with increased lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic clearance. In this study, we sought to determine if shorter durations of 9-cis RA therapy were suffi…

Efficient Assessment of Developmental, Surgical and Pathological Lymphangiogenesis Using a Lymphatic Reporter Mouse and Its Embryonic Stem Cells Open
Several lymphatic reporter mouse lines have recently been developed to significantly improve imaging of lymphatic vessels. Nonetheless, the usage of direct visualization of lymphatic vessels has not been fully explored and documented. Here…
