Nowadays, the problem of surgical treatment of incisional ventral hernia (IVH) still remains significant. According to the statistical data, the number of patients with postoperative ventral hernias has increased by more than 9 times over the past 25 years. Experts offer many solutions to this problem every year and the surgeon have to find the best method of postoperative rehabilitation in the flow of information. Academic research databases Google Scholar, CyberLeninka and others were used to search for the relevant literature. The following conclusions were drawn from this review. The etiology of IVH is multifactorial. There is no generally accepted evidence-based gradation of risk factors. There is no unified system for selecting the method of hernia repair of the anterior abdominal wall in patients with IVH. The choice of allotransplant material and the method of hernia repair are often individual. The value of the critical level of intraabdominal pressure have not been specified, however, all authors agree that its monitoring should become routine. The sublay technique remains the "gold standard" of plastic surgery by aponeurotic flap, inlay should be used when sublay is impossible to perform. Onlay should be used as a reserve method. In some situations, combinations of techniques are required. More and more laparoscopy is being introduced in the treatment of IVH as an assistance and in therapy. The introduction of new methods of hernia repair based on the uncontrolled separation of the anatomical structures of the abdominal wall imposes special requirements on surgical technology: plastic material, instrumental and technical support, wound closure and pharmacological support, especially in conditions of increased intra-abdominal pressure and tissue tension. We can use medication of pyrimidine’s row (xymedon) for a better implantation of the mesh implant and to increase the resistance of local tissues.

Background: Loss of continuity of abdominal wall significantly affects the functions of protection of viscera, postural stabilization, and maintenance of intra-abdominal pressure. The newer understanding of abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) aims at restoring abdominal wall anatomy and function, instead of simply patching the defect. We want to showcase the changing trends and results in hernia repair at a Medical Institution.Methods: This is an observational retrospective study conducted in RRMCH, Bengaluru from July 2018-2019 including all patients with ventral hernia undergoing the specified hernia repairs.Results: A total of 54 patients with ventral hernias undergoing routine hernia repairs/AWR surgeries were retrospectively analysed. The overall mean age was 46.62±12.44 year. Majority subjects were females (n=37; 68.5%), and overweight (Mean BMI=28.07±3.01/m2). 14 patients (25.92%), all males, had history of tobacco consumption. There were 38 (70.37%) primary ventral hernias and 7 recurrent hernias. Overall mean defect size was 10.2±0.4 cm. Most frequently performed was open retro rectus Hernioplasty (n=18; 33.33%), followed by open Preperitoneal Hernioplasty (n=17; 31.48%), laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) (n=16; 29.62%) and open transversus abdominis release (TAR) (n=3; 5.5%). On statistical analysis, it was found that Open repairs had higher post-operative pain (p=0.0005), longer hospitalization (p=0.0002) and higher incidence of surgical site events (p=0.0134) when compared to Laparoscopic repairs.Conclusion: As known already, minimally invasive techniques of hernia surgeries are shown to have acceptable outcomes when compared to radical open surgeries. Newer techniques of AWR are being employed to routine cases in larger numbers, and not just for complex reconstruction, at most centres with acceptable outcomes.

The Aim of research is to improve the results of surgical treatment of incisional ventral hernia by applying a case-specific approach and a new method of plastic repair of anterior abdominal wall. The prospective controlled dynamic study is based on incisional ventral hernia treatment results with the use of meshed endoprostheses among 219 patients. On-lay alloplasty was used in patients younger than 60 years of age, without severe concomitant pathology, with small and medium hernias and anterior abdominal wall defect of up to 10 cm (W1 - W2). The article shows a selection algorithm for anterior abdominal wall plastic repair method. It goes through advantages of the author’s proprietary technique. The article displays frequency and patterns of complications, life quality of the patients after various prosthetic plastic repairs. In the main group, positive treatment results were observed in 65.0%, long-term results of the operation were observed in 88.4%, complications occurred in 13.6%, relapse in 4.5%. «On lay» treatment tactics showed positive results in 59.4%, long-term results of the operation were observed in 74.7%, complications occurred in 40%, relapse in 3.1%. After «sub lay» intervention, excellent results were observed in 40.0% of patients, long-term results of the operation were observed in 81.9%, complications occurred in 12%, and relapse in 1.4%.

Background Morbid obesity is a serious chronic condition with, among other symptoms, increased intra-abdominal pressure and subsequent abdominal wall hernias. The optimal management of these manifestations is still controversial. The objective of this study was to assess the early postoperative outcomes of a surgical approach combining laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) with sleeve gastrectomy in morbidly obese patients. Methods In this retrospective study, we reviewed the files of patients who are obese with a primary ventral hernia of less than 10 cm in diameter who received simultaneous laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and LVHR at our institution between February 2016 and July 2018. LVHR was performed using an intraperitoneal only mesh. The individual mesh size was chosen based on the number and size of the defects. Clinical and radiological follow-ups were performed between 9 and 15 months. Results A total of 15 patients were included. Five of them were males. The mean body mass index was 45.2 kg/m2 (range: 38.7–56.2 kg/m2). The mean hernia defect size was 2.6 cm (range: 1.3–4.2 cm). Mesh size was 10 × 15 cm in five, 20 × 15 cm in seven, and 25 cm× 20 cm in three patients. All patients were discharged without complications on the second postoperative day. Mean follow-up was at 12 months. One patient presented with hernia recurrence 14 months after surgery and four patients presented with self-limited seroma. Conclusion Despite ambiguous guidelines and ongoing debate regarding simultaneous bariatric surgery and ventral hernia repair, the short-term outcomes of this approach appeared promising, provided that patients are carefully selected and receive an individually tailored approach.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether operative factors are associated with risk of surgical site infection (SSI) after hernia repair.DesignRetrospective cohort study.PatientsCommercially insured enrollees aged 6 months-64 years with International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification procedure or Current Procedural Terminology, fourth edition, codes for inguinal/femoral, umbilical, and incisional/ventral hernia repair procedures from January 1, 2004, through December 31, 2010.MethodsSSIs within 90 days after hernia repair were identified by diagnosis codes. The χ2 and Fisher exact tests were used to compare SSI incidence by operative factors.ResultsA total of 119,973 hernia repair procedures were analyzed. The incidence of SSI differed significantly by anatomic site, with rates of 0.45% (352/77,666) for inguinal/femoral, 1.16% (288/24,917) for umbilical, and 4.11% (715/17,390) for incisional/ventral hernia repair. Within anatomic sites, the incidence of SSI was significantly higher for open versus laparoscopic inguinal/femoral (0.48% [295/61,142] vs 0.34% [57/16,524], P=.020) and incisional/ventral (4.20% [701/16,699] vs 2.03% [14/691], P=.005) hernia repairs. The rate of SSI was higher following procedures with bowel obstruction/necrosis than procedures without obstruction/necrosis for open inguinal/femoral (0.89% [48/5,422] vs 0.44% [247/55,720], P<.001) and umbilical (1.57% [131/8,355] vs 0.95% [157/16,562], P<.001), but not incisional/ventral hernia repair (4.01% [224/5,585] vs 4.16% [491/11,805], P=.645).ConclusionsThe incidence of SSI was highest after open procedures, incisional/ventral repairs, and hernia repairs with bowel obstruction/necrosis. Stratification of hernia repair SSI rates by some operative factors may facilitate accurate comparison of SSI rates between facilities.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2014;00(0): 1–7
