PURPOSE: Abdominal surgeries are common surgical procedures worldwide. Incisional hernias commonly develop after abdominal wall surgery. Surgery is the definite treatment for most incisional hernias but carries a higher rate of complications. Although frequently used, the real benefit of using drain tubes to reduce surgical complications after incisional hernia repair is uncertain. METHODS: PubMed and Embase databases were searched for studies that compared the outcomes of drain vs. no-drain placement and the risk of complications in patients undergoing incisional hernia repair. Primary endpoints were infection, seroma formation, length of hospital stay, and readmission rate. RESULTS: From a total of 771 studies, we included 2 RCTs and 4 non-RCTs. A total of 40,325 patients were included, of which 28 497 (71%) patients used drain tubes, and 11 828 (29%) had no drains. The drain group had a significantly higher infection rate (OR 1.89; CI 1.13-3.16; P = 0.01) and mean length of hospital stay (Mean Difference-MD 2.66; 95% CI 0.81-4.52; P = 0.005). There was no difference in seroma formation and the readmission rate. CONCLUSION: This comprehensive systematic meta-analysis concluded that drain tube placement after incisional hernia repair is associated with increased infection rate and length of hospital stay without affecting the rate of seroma formation and readmission rate. Prospective randomized studies are required to confirm these findings.

BACKGROUND: The use of mesh is the standard for the prevention of incisional hernia (IH). However, the effect of surgical site occurrence (SSO) has never been compared. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the prevalence of SSO and measure its negative effect through the calculation of the number needed to treat for net effect (NNT net). METHODS: A meta-analysis was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. The primary objective was to determine the prevalence of SSO and IH, and the secondary objective was to determine the NNT net as a metric to measure the combined benefits and harms. Only published clinical trials were included. The risk of bias was analyzed, and the random effects model was used to determine statistical significance. RESULTS: A total of 15 studies comparing 2344 patients were included. The incidence of IH was significantly lower in the mesh group than in the control group, with an OR of 0.29 (95% CI 0.16-0.49, p = 0.0001). The incidence of SSO was higher in the mesh group than in the control group, with an OR of 1.21 (95% CI 0.85-1.72, p = 0.0001) but without statistical significance. Therefore, the way to compare the benefits and risks of each of the studies was done with the calculation of the NNT net, which is the average number of patients who need to be treated to see the benefit exceeding the harm by one event, and the result was 5, which is the average number of patients who need to be treated to see the benefit exceeding the harm by one event. CONCLUSION: The use of mesh reduces the prevalence of IH and it does not increases the prevalence of SSO, the NNT net determined that the use of mesh continues to be beneficial for the patient.

BACKGROUND: This study aims to identify which risk factors are associated with the appearance of an incisional hernia in a stoma site after its closure. This in the sake of identifying which patients would benefit from a preventative intervention and thus start implementing a cost-effective protocol for prophylactic mesh placement in high-risk patients. METHODS: A systematic review of PubMed, Cochrane library, and ScienceDirect was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Studies reporting incidence, risk factors, and follow-up time for appearance of incisional hernia after stoma site closure were included. A fixed-effects and random effects models were used to calculate odds ratios' estimates and standardized mean values with their respective grouped 95% confidence interval. This to evaluate the association between possible risk factors and the appearance of incisional hernia after stoma site closure. RESULTS: Seventeen studies totaling 2899 patients were included. Incidence proportion between included studies was of 16.76% (CI95% 12.82; 21.62). Out of the evaluated factors higher BMI (p = 0.0001), presence of parastomal hernia (p = 0.0023), colostomy (p = 0,001), and end stoma (p = 0.0405) were associated with the appearance of incisional hernia in stoma site after stoma closure, while malignant disease (p = 0.0084) and rectum anterior resection (p = 0.0011) were found to be protective factors. CONCLUSIONS: Prophylactic mesh placement should be considered as an effective preventative intervention in high-risk patients (obese patients, patients with parastomal hernia, colostomy, and end stoma patients) with the goal of reducing incisional hernia rates in stoma site after closure while remaining cost-effective.

BACKGROUND: Patients with abdominal site cancer are at risk for incisional hernia after open surgery. This study aimed to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of robotic-assisted (RVIHR) with the laparoscopic incisional hernia repair (LVIHR) in an oncologic institute. METHODS: This is a single-blinded randomized controlled pilot trial. Patients were randomized into two groups: RVIHR and LVIHR. RESULTS: Groups have similar baseline characteristics (LVIHR: N = 19; RVIHR: N = 18). No difference was noted in the length of hospital stay (RVIHR: 3.67 ± 1.78 days; LVIHR: 3.95 ± 2.66 days) and postoperative complications (16.7 versus 10.5%; p = 0.94). The mean operating time for RVIHR was significantly longer than LVIHR (RVIHR was 355.6 versus 293.5 min for LVIHR; p = 0.04). Recurrence was seen in three patients in LVIHR and two in RVIHR at 24-month follow-up, with no significant difference. (p > 0.99). CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted incisional hernia repair show similar short- and long-term outcomes for cancer patients.

BACKGROUND: Liver transplantation is a complex and valuable therapy. However, complications that burden postoperative quality of life, such as incisional hernia, are to be better elucidated, such as risk factors and prophylactic measures. AIM: This study aimed to define the rate of incisional hernia in patients who underwent liver transplantation in a population in southern Brazil and to assess the related risk factors in order to establish measures for prior optimization and specific prophylactic care in the future. METHODS: Patients undergoing adult Liver transplantation from January 2004 to November 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, assessing demographic features, surgical outcomes, and predisposing factors. RESULTS: Among 261 liver transplantation patients included, incisional hernia was diagnosed in 71 (27.2%). Of the 71 incisional hernia patients, 28 (39.4%) developed IH during the first post-transplant. Majority of the patients were male (52/71, 73.2%); of the 71 patients, 52 had hepatitis C virus (HCV) and 33 (46.5%) had hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Male gender (p=0.044), diabetes mellitus (p=0.008), and acute cellular rejection (p<0.001) were risk factors for IH. In all, 28 (39.4%) patients were submitted for hernia repair with mesh, with a recurrence rate of 17.8%. CONCLUSION: Incisional hernia after liver transplantation is a relatively common problem associated with male gender, diabetes, and acute cellular rejection. This is a problem that should not be trivialized in view of the complexity of liver transplantation, as it can lead to a reduction in quality of life as well as jeopardize late liver transplantation results and lead to incarceration and strangulation.

BACKGROUND: Incisional hernia is characterized by a bulging of the abdominal wall caused by the prolapse of intracavitary structures, such as a segment of the small intestine, through the trocar orifice. Ultrasonography and physical examination are used in the diagnosis of incisional hernia. AIMS: This study aimed to evaluate the difference between physical examination and abdominal ultrasonography at the diagnosis of incisional hernia in patients who underwent laparoscopic bariatric surgery. METHODS: A total of 123 patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass type bariatric surgery performed by laparoscopy were analyzed for the presence or absence of hernia by physical and ultrasonography examination at each trocar incision site. RESULTS: In our results, a total of 7 hernias were detected by physical examination, while ultrasonography detected a total of 56 hernias in at least one of the incision sites. Lin's concordance analysis showed that the tests are not concordant. The association between body mass index and hernia detection (p=0.04 for physical examination and p=0.052 for ultrasonography) was observed. Ultrasonography detected more incisional hernias in 10-mm or larger trocars than in 5-mm trocars (p<0.0001, p<0.05). No differences were noted among the trocar types that were used. CONCLUSIONS: Abdominal ultrasonography showed to have a higher accuracy than physical examination, resulting in a substantial increase in incisional hernia detection at the trocar sites.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate key morphometric features identifiable on routine preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging indicative of incisional hernia (IH) formation following abdominal surgery. BACKGROUND: IH is a pervasive surgical disease that impacts all surgical disciplines operating in the abdominopelvic region and affecting 13% of patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Despite the significant costs and disability associated with IH, there is an incomplete understanding of the pathophysiology of hernia. METHODS: A cohort of patients (n=21,501) that underwent colorectal surgery was identified, and clinical data and demographics were extracted, with a primary outcome of IH. Two datasets of case-control matched pairs were created for feature measurement, classification, and testing. Morphometric linear and volumetric measurements were extracted as features from anonymized preoperative abdominopelvic CT scans. Multivariate Pearson testing was performed to assess correlations among features. Each feature's ability to discriminate between classes was evaluated using 2-sided paired t testing. A support vector machine was implemented to determine the predictive accuracy of the features individually and in combination. RESULTS: Two hundred and twelve patients were analyzed (106 matched pairs). Of 117 features measured, 21 features were capable of discriminating between IH and non-IH patients. These features are categorized into three key pathophysiologic domains: 1) structural widening of the rectus complex, 2) increased visceral volume, 3) atrophy of abdominopelvic skeletal muscle. Individual prediction accuracy ranged from 0.69 to 0.78 for the top 3 features among 117. CONCLUSIONS: Three morphometric domains identifiable on routine preoperative CT imaging were associated with hernia: widening of the rectus complex, increased visceral volume, and body wall skeletal muscle atrophy. This work highlights an innovative pathophysiologic mechanism for IH formation hallmarked by increased intra-abdominal pressure and compromise of the rectus complex and abdominopelvic skeletal musculature.

INTRODUCTION: Multiple minimally invasive techniques have been described for ventral hernia repair. The recently described enhanced view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) ventral hernia repair seems an appealing option since it allows to address midline and lateral hernias, placing the mesh in the retromuscular position without the use of traumatic fixation. AIM: To report on the mid-term result of a series of patients with ventral hernias repaired by the eTEP approach. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of our case series between June 2017 and December 2019. Demographic and clinical data were gathered. Hernia characteristics, surgical details, hernia recurrences, and complications are reported. RESULTS: 66 patients were included in the study. Median follow-up was 22 months (interquartile range 12-26). 60% of patients were male. Mean age, BMI, % of Type-2 diabetes and % of smoking were 59 ± 12 years, 30 kg/m2, 24% and 23%, respectively. Mean hernia defect size was 5.5 ± 2.9 cm. Forty-three eTEP Rives-stoppa and 23 eTEP-Transversus abdominis release (14 unilateral, 9 bilateral) were performed. 22 inguinal hernias and 15 lateral defects were simultaneously repaired. We report 1 recurrence (1.5%) and 10 surgical site occurrences (15%; 6 seromas, 2 hematomas and 2 surgical site infections). Four patients required reinterventions (6%). CONCLUSION: eTEP is a promising approach to treat midline hernias and allows the simultaneous treatment of lateral and inguinal defects, keeping the mesh in the retromuscular position. However, comparative studies must be performed to know its real benefit in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.

INTRODUCTION: The use of synthetic mesh in contaminated fields is controversial. In the last decade, published data have grown in this matter suggesting favorable outcomes. However, multiple variables and scenarios that influence the results still make difficult to obtain convincing recommendations. METHODS: We performed a review of relevant available data in English regarding the use of synthetic meshes in contaminated abdominal wall surgery using the Medline database. Articles including patients undergoing ventral hernia in contaminated fields were included for analysis. RESULTS: Most studies support the use of synthetic meshes for ventral hernia repair in contaminated fields, as they have shown lower recurrence rate and similar wound morbidity. Although no mesh seems ideal in this setting, most surgeons advocate for the use of reduced-in-weight polypropylene mesh. Sublay location of the prosthesis associated with complete fascial closure appears to offer better results in these patients. In addition, current evidence suggests that the use of prophylactic synthetic mesh when performing a stoma or for stoma reversal incisional hernias might be beneficial. CONCLUSION: A better understanding of surgical site occurrences and its prevention, as well as the introduction of new reduced-in-weight meshes have allowed using synthetic meshes in a contaminated field. Although the use of mesh has indeed shown promising results in these patients, the surgical team should still balance pros and cons at the time of placing synthetics in contaminated fields.

PURPOSE: The closure of a stoma is frequently associated with an acceptable morbidity and mortality. One of the most frequent complications is incisional hernia at the stoma site, which occurs in 20%-40% of cases, higher than incisions in other parts of the abdomen. The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with the presentation of incisional hernia after stoma closure, this in order to select patients who are candidates for prophylactic mesh placement during closure. METHODS: An unpaired case-control study was conducted. This study involved 164 patients who underwent a stoma closure between January 2014 and December 2019. Associated factors for the development of incisional hernia at the site of the stoma after closure were identified, for which it was performed a logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: 41 cases and 123 controls were analyzed, with a mean follow-up of 35.21 ± 18.42 months, the mean age for performing the stoma closure was 65.28 ± 14.07 years, the most frequent cause for performing the stoma was malignant disease (65.85%). Risk factor for the development of incisional hernia at the stoma site after its closure was identified as a history of parastomal hernia (OR 5.90, CI95% 1.97-17.68). CONCLUSIONS: The use of prophylactic mesh at stoma closure should be considered in patients with a history of parastomal hernia since these patients present a significantly higher risk of developing a hernia.

PURPOSE: Incisional hernia (IH) has an incidence of 10-23%, which can increase to 38% in specific risk groups. The objective of this study is to report the results at 3 years of follow-up of the use of the reinforced tension line (RTL) technique compared with primary suture only (PSO) closure in the prevention of IH in high-risk patients undergoing laparotomy. METHODS: Open randomized controlled clinical trial. Included were patients older than 18 years who underwent midline laparotomy, emergency or scheduled, who were considered high risk, and who completed 3-year follow-up. The patients were randomized 1:1 to the RTL technique or to PSO. The objective was to report the incidence of IH and the complications associated with the closure method. Intention-to-treat analysis and Cox regression were performed. RESULTS: A total of 124 patients were randomized; 51 patients from the RTL group and 53 patients from the PSO group finished the 3-year follow-up. The incidence of IH was higher in the PSO group (15/53, 28.3%) than the RTL group (5/51, 9.8%) (p = 0.016, OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.14-0.88, number needed to treat 5.4, log-rank test p = 0.017). The groups were similar in the rates of surgical site infection, hematoma, seroma, and postoperative pain during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: The RTL technique is useful in the prevention of IH when compared with PSO in high-risk midline laparotomy patients, and it is not associated with a higher percentage of complications. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Local Committee CI-HRAEB-2013-020. March 13, 2013. CLINICAL TRIALS: NCT02136628, retrospectively registered.

Omental herniation, located between the rectus abdominis muscle and the anterior blade of the rectus sheath, can be triggered after a transverse suprapubic incision. It causes the development of an incisional interstitial hernia (IIH), which is an extremely rare and poorly understood condition. Based on this information, our work presents the first anatomical description of incisional interstitial hernia found during routine dissection at the Human Anatomy Laboratory of the Federal University of Ceará in a formalized female corpse.

BACKGROUND: Although transversus abdominis release (TAR) to treat large incisional hernias has shown favorable postoperative outcomes, devastating complications may occur when it is used in suboptimal conditions. We aimed to evaluate postoperative outcomes and long-term follow-up after TAR for large incisional hernias. METHODS: A consecutive series of patients undergoing TAR for complex incisional hernias between 2014 and 2019 with a minimum of 6 month follow-up was included. Demographics, operative and postoperative variables were analyzed. Postoperative imaging (CT-scan) was also evaluated to detect occult recurrences. The HerQLes survey for quality of life (QoL) assessment was performed preoperatively and 6 months after the surgery. RESULTS: A total of 50 TAR repairs were performed. Mean age was 65 (35-83) years, BMI was 28.5 ± 3.4 kg/m2, and 8 (16%) patients had diabetes. Mean Tanaka index was 14.2 ± 8.5. Mean defect area was 420 (100-720) cm2, average defect width was 19 ± 6.2 cm, and mesh area was 900 (500-1050) cm2; 78% were clean procedures, and in 60% a panniculectomy was associated. Operative time was 252 (162-438) minutes, and hospital stay was 4.5 (2-16) days. Thirty-day morbidity was 24% (12 patients), and 16% (8 patients) had surgical site infections. Overall recurrence rate was 4% (2 patients) after 28.2 ± 20.1 months of follow-up. QoL showed a significant improvement after surgery (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The TAR technique is an effective treatment modality for large incisional hernias, showing an acceptable postoperative morbidity, a significant improvement in QoL, and low recurrence rates at long-term follow-up.

Appendix-associated hernias are extremely rare. They have been described sporadically in the literature, mostly as inguinal hernias. Appendix-associated incisional hernias are even more unusual. High clinical awareness is needed as complications can arise if misdiagnosis or delay occurs. We present an 80-year-old man with acute appendicitis in an incisional hernia. After successful surgery, the patient made a full recovery.

BACKGROUND: As the number of postmastectomy patients who receive abdominally based autologous breast reconstruction (ABABR) increases, the frequency of unique paramedian incisional hernias (IHs) at the donor site is increasing as well. We assessed incidence, repair techniques, and outcomes to determine the optimal treatment for this morbid condition. METHODS: A total of 1600 consecutive patients who underwent ABABR at the University of Pennsylvania between January 1, 2009, and August 31, 2016, were retrospectively identified. Preoperative and operative information was collected for these patients. Incisional hernia incidence was determined by flap type and donor site closure technique. Repair techniques and postoperative outcomes for all patients receiving IH repair (IHR) after ABABR at our institution were also determined. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted. RESULTS: The incidence of IH after ABABR in our health system was 3.6% (n = 61). Fifteen additional patients were referred from outside hospitals for a total of 76 patients who received IHR. At the time of IHR, mesh was used in 79% (n = 60) of cases (13 biologic and 47 synthetic), with synthetics having significantly lower recurrent IH incidence (10.6% vs 38.5%, P = 0.017) when compared with biologics. Mesh position did not have any statistically significant effect on outcomes; however, sublay mesh position had zero adverse outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Mesh should be used in all cases when possible. Although retrorectus repair with mesh is optimal, this plane is often nonexistent or too scarred in after ABABR. Thus, intraperitoneal underlay mesh with primary fascial closure or primary closure with onlay mesh placement should then be considered.

INTRODUCTION: Anterolateral transpsoas approach is considered as safe access to the retroperitoneum with low risk of complications. The most frequent described complications due to this approach were nerve, bowel, urethral and kidney injury. An incisional hernia is a rare complication in anterolateral approach, as a result of a nonhealing surgical wound or late disruption of the fascia; it occurs in 1% of the incisions after primary closure. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report a 75-year-old woman who underwent spinal surgery with a double approach, consisting of an anterolateral transpsoas approach and posterior lumbar approach. Two months post-surgery, the patient developed a lateral abdominal tumor at the surgical site. CONCLUSION: To prevent incisional hernia, a meticulous dissection must be performed to avoid muscle denervation and weakening of the abdominal wall, as well as proper repair of the fascia its critical to ensure an adequate closure of the wound.
INTRODUCCIÓN: El Abordaje anterolateral transpsoas se considera como un acceso seguro al retroperitoneo con bajo riesgo de complicaciones. Las complicaciones descritas más frecuentes debido a este abordaje fueron lesiones nerviosas, intestinales, uretrales y renales. Una hernia incisional es una complicación poco frecuente en el abordaje anterolateral, como resultado de una herida quirúrgica no cicatrizada o una ruptura tardía de la fascia; ocurre en 1% de las incisiones después del cierre primario. CASO CLÍNICO: Informamos de una mujer de 75 años que se sometió a una cirugía de columna vertebral con un doble abordaje quirúrgico, que consiste en un abordaje anterolateral transpsoas y un abordaje lumbar posterior. Dos meses después de la cirugía, el paciente desarrolló un tumor abdominal lateral en el sitio quirúrgico. CONCLUSIÓN: Para prevenir la hernia incisional, se debe realizar una disección meticulosa para evitar la denervación muscular y el debilitamiento de la pared abdominal, así como la correcta reparación de la fascia es crítico para asegurar un cierre adecuado de la herida.
