OBJECTIVE To describe the postoperative complication rates of a large consecutive series of patients who underwent open incisional ventral hernia repair. DESIGN Retrospective medical record review of an accumulated database. SETTING University tertiary care medical center. PATIENTS All patients who underwent open incisional ventral hernia repair from March 1, 2003, through February 28, 20...

PURPOSE Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy is commonly performed for renal tumors that are not amenable to nephron sparing treatment. A number of techniques for intact specimen extraction are used. The development of incisional hernias from the extraction site is a known but infrequent delayed complication. We analyzed different extraction sites and risk factors for such hernias. MATERIALS AND ...

BACKGROUND Surgical meshes are widely used in incisional hernia repair. However, there are no reports of pregnancies complicated by infection of surgical meshes used for hernia repair. This is the first case report of a pregnant woman who experienced surgical site infection associated with surgical mesh used for repair of an abdominal wall incisional hernia. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case...

Outcome of primary and incisional hernia repair is still affected by clinical complications in terms of recurrences, pain and discomfort. Factors like surgical approach, prosthesis characteristics and method of fixation might influence the outcome. We evaluated in a prospective observational study a cohort population which underwent primary and incisional laparoscopic hernia repair, with the us...

Mesh repair of the incisional hernia is a standard procedure and associated with lesser recurrence rate as compared to primary suture repair. Intraperitoneal mesh migration is a rare cause of recurrence after onlay mesh repair. Hereby, reporting a rare case of intra-peritoneal migration of polypropylene mesh and its adhesion to bowel wall following onlay mesh repair of incisional hernia.

Incisional hernia results from inadequate healing in the area of an operative incision and its diagnosis is clinical or imaging. Complex incisional hernias are difficult to treat have complications, especially compartment syndrome. Thus, technical care closing incisions primary surgeries reduces risk developing hernia. Therefore, study aimed present a case report patient who performed correctio...

INTRODUCTION The consensus about whether the single port approach is advantageous remains controversial. As the ambulatory service becomes the standard of care, techniques are in evolution to augment the patient experience in this setting. This forms the basis for evaluating SILS (Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery) prosthetic ventral hernia repair in the ambulatory setting. We report a SILS ...

The management of incisional hernia following radical cystectomy (RC) and neobladder diversion poses a special challenge. Mesh erosion into the neobladder is a potential complication of hernia repair in this setting. We describe our experience and steps to avoid this complication. Three patients developed incisional hernias following RC involving the neobladder. The incisional hernias were repa...

A 70-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of bulging in the right lower portion of the abdomen. The bulging was in accordance with an old operative scar for appendicitis. The findings of computed tomography (CT) showed defects in the abdominal muscles and the protrusion of the intestine into the subcutaneous fat. The patient was diagnosed with incisional hernia after app...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The clinical results of the vertical "vest-over-pants" Mayo repair were evaluated, and the risk factors for incisional hernia recurrence were studied. The purpose of this study is to point out the importance of reducing pre and post operative risk factors in the incisional hernia repair process in order to achieve a physiologically normal abdominal wall. METHODS Twenty pat...
