Abstract Aim The worldwide increase in morbid obese patients raises controverises regarding the best timing of treatment for concomitant ventral hernias (VH). We present the preliminary experience at a referral center for bariatric surgery (BS): synchronous versus delayed ventral hernia repair (S-VHR, D-VHR) have been compared. Material and Methods From 2009, 40 consecutive morbid obese patients eligible for BS presented with concomitant VH. Symptoms and characteristics of the VH were evaluated to choose between S-VHR (28 patients), primary (n = 12) or mesh augmented (n = 16), and D-VHR (12 patients). 90-day postoperative complications and hernia recurrence were evaluated. Results 3 patients out of 16 in the mesh group experienced superficial surgical site infections. 4 patients in the D-VHR had a bowel incarceration within 20 days after BS and required emergency surgery with mesh implantation. No complications occurred in the primary repair group. The recurrence rate was around 19% in both groups of the S-VHR. Nonetheless the group that received mesh repair had a significant higher mean value of the defect. In the D-VHR cohort 1 patient was lost at follow up while 3 patients were not operated on due to inadequate weight loss. No recurrences occurred in the 4 patients requiring emergency surgery. Conclusions: D-VHR is associated with worse early postoperative outcomes; primary suture repair should be considered in preventing bowel incarceration but synchronous mesh repair is preferred in large symptomatic hernias for its acceptable postoperative morbidity and hernia recurrence at 1 year.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Obesity is frequently present in patients suffering from end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, overweight kidney transplant candidates are a challenge for the transplant surgeon. Obese patients tend to develop a large abdominal panniculus after weight loss creating an area predisposed to wound-healing disorders. Due to concerns about graft survival and postoperative complications after kidney transplantation, obese patients are often refused in this selective patient cohort. The study aimed to analyze the effect of panniculectomies on postoperative complications and transplant candidacy in an interdisciplinary setting. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A retrospective database review of 10 cases of abdominal panniculectomies performed in patients with ESRD prior to kidney transplantation was conducted. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The median body mass index was 35.2 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (range 28.5–53.0 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) at first transplant-assessment versus 31.0 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (range 28.0–34.4 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) at panniculectomy, and 31.6 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (range 30.3–32.4 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) at kidney transplantation. We observed no major postoperative complications following panniculectomy and minor wound-healing complications in 2 patients. All aside from 1 patient became active transplant candidates 6 weeks after panniculectomy. No posttransplant wound complications occurred in the transplanted patients. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Abdominal panniculectomy is feasible in patients suffering ESRD with no major postoperative complications, thus converting previously ineligible patients into kidney transplant candidates. An interdisciplinary approach is advisable in this selective patient cohort.

Ligoniai ir metodai Vilniaus greitosios pagalbos universitetinės ligoninės Bendrosios chirurgijos klinikoje, o vėliau – Bendrosios chirurgijos centre 2000–2002 metais nuo pooperacinių pilvo sienos išvaržų operuotas 221 ligonis. Sintetinis tinklas įsiūtas 82 (37 %) atvejais. Ligonių amžius, lytis, buvusios pooperacinės pilvo sienos išvaržos operacijos, išvaržos vartų dydis pagal Stoppa klasifikaciją, tinklo rūšis, įsiuvimo vieta, profilaktinis gydymas antibiotikais, žaizdos drenavimas vertinti kaip veiksniai, lemiantys pooperacinių komplikacijų pasireiškimą ir išvaržos atsinaujinimą. Rezultatai Pooperacinių komplikacijų buvo devyniems ligoniams (11 %), iš jų aštuoniems (9,7 %) nustatytos vietinės žaizdos komplikacijos: žaizdos seroma – penkiems (6,1 %), žaizdos infekcija – dviem (2,4 %), pooperacinis pilvo sienos uždegimas be pūlių sankaupos – vienam (1,2 %). Bendras infekcinių komplikacijų dažnis sudarė 3,6 %. Ligonių, kuriems nustatytos pooperacinės komplikacijos, vidutinis amžius buvo 65,5 metai, t. y. tik trejais metais didesnis už bendrą ligonių amžiaus vidurkį. Santykinai daugiau vietinių komplikacijų pasireiškė ligoniams, kuriems buvo Stoppa III laipsnio pooperacinės išvaržos (16 %, palyginti su 9,7 % bendru komplikacijų dažniu). Profilaktinis gydymas antibiotikais 6,3 % sumažino pooperacinių infekcinių komplikacijų dažnį (taikant šį gydymą – 2,8 %, netaikant – 9,1 %). Įsiuvus proleno tinklą, pooperacinių komplikacijų radosi 5,1 % mažiau negu naudojant mersileno tinklą. Įsiuvimo padėtis įtakos pooperacinių komplikacijų pasireiškimo dažniui neturėjo. Žaizdos drenavimas 7,5 % sumažino vietinių komplikacijų dažnį. Išvaržos atsinaujino 10,9 % ligonių. Jaunesnies kaip 60 metų amžiaus ligoniams recidyvų buvo 4,5 kartus daugiau negu vyresniems. Vyrams išvaržos atsinaujino 2,4 karto dažniau negu moterims. Kartotinių operacijų nuo pooperacinės išvaržos atvejais recidyvų buvo 3,6 % daugiau negu operuojant pirmą kartą. Recidyvų radosi 22,7 % ligoniams, kuriems buvo Stoppa I–II laipsnio išvaržos, ir nė vienam iš ligonių, kuriems buvo Stoppa III–IV laipsnio išvaržos. Išvaržos atsinaujino 18,75 % ligonių, kuriems buvo įsiūtas proleno tinklas, ir tik 6,9 % ligonių, kuriems įsiūtas mersileno tinklas. Antibiotikų profilaktika ir žaizdos drenavimas išvaržos atsinaujinimo dažnį sumažino atitinkamai 25,8 % ir 10,3 % (7,5 % / 33,3 % ir 9,7 % / 20 %). Išvados Darant hernioplastikas aloplastiniu tinklu, pooperacinių pilvo sienos išvaržų dažnis sumažėja keturis kartus. Tinklus įsiuvus preperitoniškai ar po raumenimis („Sublay“ metodika), išvaržų atsinaujinimo dažnis – 11 %. Taikant profilaktinį gydymą antibiotikais, vietinių infekcinių komplikacijų dažnis sumažėja tris kartus, pooperacinių išvaržų atsinaujinimo dažnis – keturis kartus. Tinklo rūšis (prolenas, mersilenas) ankstyvų komplikacijų dažniui įtakos neturėjo. Tinklas turi būti pakankamai platus: jis įsiuvamas iš visų pusių mažiausiai 5 cm plačiau nuo pilvo sienoje susidariusio raumenų ir fascijos defekto. Žaizdos drenavimas turi įtakos tik seromų susidarymui (drenavus jų pasitaiko 3 kartus mažiau); vietinių infekcinių komplikacijų dažniui šis veiksnys poveikio neturi. Pooperacinės išvaržos dažniau atsinaujina vyrams iki 60 metų. Darant mažesnių išvaržų (Stoppa I–II) plastiką sintetiniais tinklais, išvaržų atsinaujinimo dažnis (22,7 %) buvo statistiškai patikimai didesnis (palyginti su Stoppa III–IV laipsnio išvaržomis, kai nenustyta nė vienos atsinaujinusios išvaržos); priežastys nėra iki galo aiškios, tačiau tai gali būti susiję su specifine priežastimi – per mažų tinklų įsiuvimu (tinklo dydis turi tiesioginę įtaką kainai).

Incisional ventral hernia repair by alloplastic mesh Sigitas Tamulis, Juozas Stanaitis, Edmundas Gaidamonis, Raimundas Lunevičius Background / objective Factors strongly associated with all types of postoperative complications after implantation of synthetic mesh due to postoperative (incisional) ventral hernia have not yet been determined definitely. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate early results, hernia recurrence rate and the factors that might be associated with early as well as late postoperative complications. Methods There were 221 patients operated on for postoperative abdominal wall hernia in Vilnius University Emergency Hospital during 2000–2002. Synthetic mesh was inserted in 82 (37%) of patients. Age, sex, the size of the hernia according to Stoppa classification, the type of the biomaterial, the position of the mesh, antibiotic prophylaxis, wound drainage were considered as the factors that might influence early postoperative complications and hernia recurrence rate. Results Early postoperative complications were detected in nine patients (11%): wound seromas – in 5 (6.1%), wound infection – in 2 (2.4%), postoperative infiltration without puss collection – in one (1.2%). The overall rate of infectious complications was 3.6%. Relatively more numerous postoperative local wound complications were observed in cases of the Stoppa grade III postoperative hernia (16% versus 9.7%). Antibiotic prophylaxis reduced the postoperative infection complication rate (2.8% with antibiotics versus 9.1% without antibiotics). The postoperative complication rate in cases of Prolene mesh implantation was by 5.1% lower than with Mersilene mesh. Wound drainage reduced the postoperative local wound complication rate by 7.5%. However, no factors were strongly associated with early postoperative complications. Overall hernia recurrence rate was 10.9%. There were 4.5 times more recurrences in patients younger than 60 years. The recurrence rate in male was 2.4 times higher than in female. Recurrent postoperative hernias occurred by 3.6% more frequently than after first time operated incisional hernias. The recurrence rate in cases of Stoppa I–II grade of hernia was 22.7% versus 0 in cases of Stoppa grade III–IV (p < 0.05). The proportion of recurrences in cases of Prolene and Mersilene meshes was 18.75% and 6.9%. Antibiotic prophylaxis and wound drainage obviously reduced the recurrence rate (7.5% versus 33.3%, and 9.7% versus 20%, respectively). Conclusions Employment of alloplastic biomaterials four times reduced the recurrence rate, which after the “Sublay” implantation of mesh was 11%. Antibiotic prophylaxis reduced the rate of postoperative complications three times and the rate of recurrence four times. The type of the biomaterial (Prolene or Mersilene) had no influence on the local postoperative complication rate. The size of mesh must be sufficient to replace the musculoaponeurotic defect and by 5 cm should overlap the musculoaponeurotic tissue. Drainage of the wound prevented seroma formation. Hernia recurrences are more frequent in male population aged under 60 years. The size of hernia was a statistically proven factor associated with a higher recurrence rate. This is probably associated with implatation of too small pieces of Prolene mesh. Keywords: postoperative ventral hernia, hernia repair, synthetic mesh, complications, recurrent hernia.

Abstract Aim We have been performing intraperitoneal on lay mesh repair (IPOM plus) as the standard laparoscopic procedure for ventral hernia in our department. We introduced enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal repair (eTEP) for ventral hernia repair in 2018, and have performed 31 cases so far. We compared the outcomes of IPOM Plus and eTEP at our institution. Material and Methods Ventral hernia cases who underwent surgery at our department between 2018 and 2020 were included in the study. The postoperative outcomes and complications of the IPOM Plus and eTEP groups were evaluated retrospectively. Results There were 12 cases of IPOM plus, and all were incisional hernias. There were 31 cases of eTEP, including 7 cases of primary hernias and 24 cases of incisional hernias. Transversus abdominis muscle release (TAR) was added in 24 cases. The mean hernia size was 6.6 x 7.9 cm with IPOM Plus and 8.0 x 10.1 cm with eTEP, and the average meshes size was 15.5 x 22.0 cm and 20.3 x 23.6 cm, respectively. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 7.8 days and 5 days. Postoperative complications included 1 case of mesh bulging and 1 case of recurrence in the IPOM Plus group, 1 case of seroma and 1 case of intestinal obstruction in the eTEP. Conclusions The surgical outcomes for ventral hernias up to 8 cm wide were similar for IPOM Plus and eTEP. The eTEP can insert a larger mesh and may be useful for wider hernias (&gt;8cm).

Background: Various studies have shown the effects of morbid obesity on the adverse consequences of various surgeries, especially postoperative infections. However, some studies have shown that the complications of spinal surgery in obese and non-obese patients are not significantly different. Objectives: This study investigated and compared the duration of surgery, length of hospital stay, and complications after common spinal surgeries by orthopedic spine fellowship in obese and non-obese patients in a specialized spine center in Iran. Methods: All patients who underwent decompression with or without lumbar fusion were included in this retrospective study. These patients were classified into two groups: non-obese (BMI <30 kg/m2) and obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2). The data related to type and levels of surgery, 30-day hospital complications, length of hospital stay, rate of postoperative wound infection, blood loss, and need for transfusion were all extracted and compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 148 patients (74%) were in the non-obese group and 52 patients (26%) in the obese group. The number of patients that need packed cells was significantly higher in the obese group (51.8% vs 32.6%) (P=0.01). Otherwise, there were not a significant difference between type of treatment (fusion or only decompression) (P=0.78), interbody fusion (P=0.26), osteotomy (P=0.56), duration of surgery (P=0.25), length of hospital stay (P=0.72), mean amount of blood loss (P=0.09), and postoperative complications (P=0.68) between the two groups. Conclusion: Our results suggest that duration of surgery, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications are not associated with the BMI of the patients.
