چکیده
Objectives: To study the relation of incisional hernias after abdominal aortic surgery and to study the recommendations for prevention of incisional hernias in general. Methods: An extensive search in Pub-Med was conducted. We used the following MeSH terms; abdominal aortic aneurysm; incisional hernia; inguinal hernia; incisional hernia and radiology, abdominal wound closure, we also did a “snow-falling” search with the above terms. Results: Still today there is no unanimity concerning the relation of aortic or aortoiliac pathology and incisional or inguinal hernias although the majority of studies suggest that there is a possible increase in the prevalence of incisional hernias after aortic surgery. Conclusions: In order to lessen the possibilities of incisional hernias suture length to wound length ration should be more that 4:1. Sutures should be tied without excessive tension and either a slowly absorbable or nonabsorbable suture material should be used. Use a suture USP 2/0 mounted on a small needle. Place stitches in the aponeurosis only and 5 to 8 mm from the wound edge and 4 to 5 mm apart.

Incisional hernias. I. Related risk factors.
Incisional hernias represent one of the most frequent complications of abdominal surgery. The incidence is probably underestimated. The pathogenesis is complex and not fully understood, implying patient-related factors (i.e., collagen biochemistry, obesity, age) as well as technical factors, including, among others, wound infection, suture material, and types of incisions and closures. In this ...
متن کاملAbdominal wall reconstruction with mesh and components separation.
Incisional hernias in the abdominal wall are a by-product of multiple previous laparotomies. Unfortunately, the incidence of incisional hernias has risen, as we have progressed with new surgical techniques in the treatment of abdominal pathologies. Many methods have been attempted in the past to achieve a better and more durable repair, namely using components separation to bring the fascia int...
متن کاملChronic Abdominal Pain Secondary to Mesh Erosion Into Ceacum Following Incisional Hernia Repair: A Case Report and Literature Review
Incisional hernias following abdominal operations are a common complication. Mesh is frequently employed in repair of these hernias. Mesh migration is an infrequent occurrence. We present the case of transmural mesh migration from the abdominal wall into the ceacum presenting as chronic abdominal pain. Given the popularity of minimally invasive surgery utilizing polypropylene mesh for incisiona...
متن کاملIncisional ventral hernias: review of the literature and recommendations regarding the grading and technique of repair.
Despite advances in surgical technique and prosthetic technologies, the risks for recurrence and infection are high following the repair of incisional ventral hernias. High-quality data suggest that all ventral hernia repairs should be reinforced with prosthetic repair materials. The current standard for reinforced hernia repair is synthetic mesh, which can reduce the risk for recurrence in man...
