Abstract Introduction Incisional Hernia has an incidence ranging from 2–20%. Large and complex incisional hernias are difficult to treat with standard procedures. PCS-TAR is a relatively novel procedure. There persists gap in knowledge regarding its outcomes, especially the Indian population. Aims & Objective To identify pre-operative clinical radiological factors that predict risk of re-he...

INTRODUCTION: There is a growing interest in identifying provider and hospital characteristics associated with improved patient outcomes for surgical procedures. Increased operative volume has been associated with benefits in patient centric and economic outcomes for a variety of surgical procedures. In ventral hernia repair, however, there has been a paucity of studies assessing the associatio...

Managing a giant inguinal hernia/ incisional/ ventral hernia had its own complications. The overtime adaptation of peritoneal cavity to lower abdominal pressure was one the most important factors responsible for these Surgical repair is also quite challenge because massive contents in sac, adhesions and concomitant fibrosis. In order reduce complications like intra-abdominal hypertension, cardi...

The use of prosthetic mesh has now become accepted practice in the treatment of patients with both inguinal and ventral hernias. This pictorial review illustrates the various radiological appearances of these meshes and also demonstrates the post-operative complications associated with their implantation.

Repair of huge ventral hernias is technically challenging for the surgeon and a major operation for the patient and should be performed by experienced surgeons in centers that are used to caring for patients who are commonly massively obese with significant comorbidities. Preoperative medical optimization of patients is an important part in the overall management of these large hernias. Convent...
