    Diagnosis: The two commonly used approaches to laparoscopic repair of inguinal and femoral hernias are the transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) and the totally extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) approaches. TEP repair — TEP is performed in the preperitoneal space and was developed to avoid the risks associated with entering the peritoneal cavity. The physician develops a space between the peritoneum and the anterior abdominal wall so that the peritoneum is never violated. In experienced hands, this approach has the advantage of eliminating the risk of intraabdominal adhesion formation.…

    Those being a finger bone, two teeth, and a toe bone. Although these bones do give us some clues to their physical appearance, and even the gender of the extinct Denisovan. The finger bone, for example is strangely large and broad and belonged to a female, allowing us to infer the Denisovans were possibly a similar physical type compared to Neanderthals. The tooth, however has not provided researchers with any new discoveries on its morphological characteristics, other than having similarities to Homo erectus teeth (Reich, Genetic). However the last finding of the toe bone has revealed through extensive testing that Homo sapiens sapiens did in fact interbreed with Denisovans and have hybrid offspring (Zimmer, toe).…
