Summary

Ventral hernias, primary and recurrent, are major surgical challenge. We aim to investigate efficacy of modified technique of ventral hernias repair: an "open intraperitoneal mesh" technique.

Detailed description

We analyzed early postoperative complications (EPCs; wound infection, hematoma, and seroma) and late postoperative complications (recurrence) in 124 patients operated for IHs and recurrent IHs (RIHs) using our new technique. Our technique involved repairing hernias by preserving the hernia sac, which was later used to conceal the mesh that replaced the abdominal wall defect, thus dividing the mesh from subcutaneous tissue.

Conditions

• Incisional Ventral Hernia
• Recurrent Ventral Hernia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	modified "open mesh technique"	We positioned mesh intraperitoneally so it can provide adequate mechanical support to the weakened abdominal wall. We also preserved hernia sack to conceal the mesh.
