A new technique for tension-free reconstruction in large incisional hernia
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the surgical management of large incisional hernias, the main target is the closure of the abdominal wall defect on the midline without a dangerous increase in the intraabdominal pressure. In this setting, new intraperitoneal prosthesis and components separation techniques were proposed to solve this problem. Both solutions present some critical issues. A new surgical approach with a free lateral double layer prosthesis totally in polypropylene both sides (FLaPp®) is proposed to overcome this problem. This is a retrospective cohort analysis study with a prospectively collected database from two different Italian hospitals. Twenty-nine patients operated from April 2010 to December 2015 were treated using the new prosthesis. Four patients developed postoperative complications: one (3.4%) presented wound infection, two (6.9%) experienced seroma, and one had a hematoma (3.4%). No deaths were recorded. At a median follow-up of 28.5 months (IQR 22-36), no hernia relapse occurred. The application of FLaPp® mesh is a safe and feasible option that can be employed to manage Rives repair in cases of abdominal wall defects with difficult closure of the posterior plan when the conventional prosthetic meshes could be unsuitable.

Comparative analysis of autodermal graft and polypropylene mesh use in large incisional hernia defects reconstruction.
BACKGROUND Large defects of the abdominal wall caused by incisional hernia still represent a challenging problem in plastic, reconstructive, and abdominal surgery. For their successful tension-free repair a proper selection of reconstructive material is essential. In the last decades, the use of synthetic meshes was dominant while biological autodermal grafts were rarely used. The aim of the st...

Repairing large incisional hernia with abdominal wall reconstruction is a technically challenging problem for surgeons. We report our experience of large midline incisional hernia which was repaired successfully with components separation technique. A patient with incisional hernia, 35 × 20 cm in size, underwent operation following standard components separation technique. The aponeurosis of th...

Wall defects after abdominoperineal resection: a modified tension-free technique.
BACKGROUND The treatment of wall defects after abdominoperineal resection has yet to be defined. In this study we report the outcome of a modified prosthetic technique for the treatment of combined large incisional and parastomal hernia performed after abdominoperineal resection. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between January 2005 and July 2008, 21 consecutive patients who underwent abdominoperineal re...

The use of alloplastic-mesh is now a common practice in hernia repair around the world especially in the developed and industrialized countries [4].However in developing countries like Ghana, this methodology is either unknown by many local surgeons and general practitioners, or for fear of the unknown,it is not practiced. This study aimed to assess the appropriateness, outcomes and suitability...
