Modified "Open Intraperitoneal Mesh" Technique of Incisional Ventral Hernia Repair

Recurrent Ventral Hernia Clinical Trial

Official title: Modified "Open Intraperitoneal Mesh" Technique of Incisional Ventral Hernia Repair

Status Completed

Clinical Trial 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.

Clinical Trial 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. ;
