Abstract Aim determine themes reported as important to Quality of Life (QoL) in Complex Abdominal Wall Hernia (CAWH) patients Material and Methods 15 purposively sampled CAWH patients were interviewed using topic guides (8 men and 7 women aged between 36 to 85 years [median = 65 years] covering all VHWG grades). All verbatim transcripts were coded and analysed using NVIVO12 software and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) until thematic saturation. Results 3 overarching groupings and 5 superordinate themes were identified. Each superordinate theme is associated with several subordinate themes: Conclusions This is the first phenomenological qualitative study in CAWH patients. The themes presented are interrelated and should shape our understanding of QoL in CAWH. Current QoL tools do not incorporate all aspects identified by this study. Further research is needed in order to generate a standardised CAWH QoL instrument which incorporates bio-psycho-emotional-social processes important to patients as identified by patients.

Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair

Background Body mass index (BMI) thresholds are utilized as a preoperative optimization strategy for obese patients prior to elective abdominal wall hernia repair. The objectives of this study were to determine the proportion of patients at our institution who ultimately underwent hernia repair after initial deferral due to BMI and to evaluate outcomes of those who required emergent repair during the deferral period. Methods A retrospective review was performed from 2016 to 2018 to identify all patients with abdominal wall hernias who were deferred surgery due to BMI. Patient characteristics, hernia type, change in BMI, progression to surgery, acuity of surgery (elective or emergent), and postoperative outcomes were examined. Results 200 patients were deferred hernia repair due to BMI. Of these, 150 (75%) did not undergo repair over a mean period of 27 months. The remaining 50 patients ultimately underwent repair, 36 of which (72%) were elective and 14 (28%) emergent. The mean initial BMI of the elective group was 35.3 ± 1.8, compared to 39.1 ± 5.3 in the no surgery group and 40.6 ± 8.2 in the emergent group ( P < .01). While the elective group lost weight before surgery, the other groups did not. Patients who required emergent surgery had worse outcomes than those repaired electively. Conclusions Preoperative weight loss is unsuccessful in most obese patients presenting for abdominal wall hernia repair at our institution. Patients who required emergent hernia repair had worse outcomes than those who underwent elective repair. Our institution’s BMI threshold is a failed optimization strategy that needs to be reconsidered.

Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair

The use of biologic mesh in abdominal wall operations has gained popularity despite a paucity of outcome data. Numerous biologic products are available with virtually no clinical comparison studies. A retrospective study was conducted to compare patients who underwent abdominal wall hernia repair with Permacol™ (crosslinked porcine dermis) and Strattice™ (noncrosslinked porcine dermis). Of 270 reviewed patients, 195 were implanted with Permacol™ and 75 with Strattice™. Ventral hernia repairs comprised the majority (85% for Permacol, 97% for Strattice™). Postoperative infection rate was lower in the Strattice™ group (5 vs 21%, P < 0.01). In the Permacol™ group only, the overall complication rates were significantly higher in patients with infected versus clean wounds (55 vs 35%, P < 0.05) and in obese patients (body mass index 40 kg/m2 or greater [57 vs 34%], P < 0.01). Short-term complication and recurrence rates were higher when mesh was used as a fascial bridge: 51 versus 28 per cent for Permacol™, 58 versus 20 per cent for Strattice™. The hernia recurrence was similar in both groups. In this review of patients undergoing abdominal hernia repair with biologic mesh, Strattice™ mesh was associated with a lower short-term complication rate compared with Permacol™, but the hernia recurrence rate was similar.
