Incisional Hernia Rate

Introduction Incisional hernia is a common complication of laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Extraction site may influence the rate of incisional hernias. Major risk factors for the development of incisional hernias include age, diabetes, obesity and smoking status. In this study, we investigated the effect of specimen extraction site on incisional hernia rate. Methods Two cohorts of patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal resections in a single centre in 2005 (n=85) and 2009 (n=139) were studied retrospectively. In 2005 all specimens were extracted through transverse muscle cutting incisions. In 2009 all specimens were extracted through midline incisions. Demographic variables, rate of incisional hernias and risk factors for hernia development were compared between the year groups. All patients had been followed up clinically for two years. Results A total of 224 patients (mean age: 67.5 years, standard deviation: 16.35 years) were included in this study. Of these, 85 patients were in the 2005 transverse group and 139 were in the 2009 midline group. The total incisional hernia rate for the series was 8.0% at the two-year follow-up visit. For the 2005 group, the incisional hernia rate was 15.3% (n=13) and for the 2009 group, it was 3.6% (n=5) (p<0.01). The body mass index was higher in patients who developed incisional hernias than in those who did not (p=0.02). Conclusions The 2005 group had a significantly higher incisional hernia rate than the 2009 group. This is due to the differences in the incision technique and extraction site between the two groups.

Abstract Aim The aim of this multicenter, randomized, double blinded study was to compare the short stitch technique for elective, primary, median laparotomy closure with the long stitch closure using the ultra-long absorbable, elastic monofilament suture made of poly 4-hydroxybutyrate (MonoMax®). Material and Methods Eligible patients were randomly allocated to receive either the short or the long stitch suture technique in a 1:1 ratio in 9 centers in Austria and Germany after elective midline laparotomy. Results 425 patients were randomized to receive either the short stitch (n = 215) or long stitch technique (n = 210). In a cox proportional hazards model, the risk for burst abdomen was reduced by 7-fold (HR 0.183 (0.0427 - 0.7435), p = 0.0179) for the short stitch group. Complications such as seroma, hematoma and other wound healing disorders occurred without significant differences between groups. After one year, the incisional hernia rate was 3.65% in the short stitch group compared to 8.80% in the long stitch group (p = 0.055). The combination of burst abdomen and incisional hernia rate had a significantly lower rate of 5.38% for the short stitch technique compared to 13.17% for the long stitch technique (p = 0.0142). Conclusions Both in the short-term results, the short-stitch technique showed substantial advantages in burst abdomen rate, as well as in the 1-year follow-up regarding the incidence of incisional hernias. The low incidence of incisional hernia in the short stitch technique with MonoMax® is promising in comparison to previously published data and should be confirmed in the 3-year follow-up.

Abstract Background Patients with a re-recurrent hernia may account for up to 20% of all incisional hernia (IH) patients. IH repair in this population may be complex due to an altered anatomical and biological situation as a result of previous procedures and outcomes of IH repair in this population have not been thoroughly assessed. This study aims to assess outcomes of IH repair by dedicated hernia surgeons in patients who have already had two or more re-recurrences. Methods A propensity score matched analysis was performed using a registry-based, prospective cohort. Patients who underwent IH repair after ≥ 2 re-recurrences operated between 2011 and 2018 and who fulfilled 1 year follow-up visit were included. Patients with similar follow-up who underwent primary IH repair were propensity score matched (1:3) and served as control group. Patient baseline characteristics, surgical and functional outcomes were analyzed and compared between both groups. Results Seventy-three patients operated on after ≥ 2 IH re-recurrences were matched to 219 patients undergoing primary IH repair. After propensity score matching, no significant differences in patient baseline characteristics were present between groups. The incidence of re-recurrence was similar between groups (≥ 2 re-recurrences: 25% versus control 24%, p = 0.811). The incidence of complications, as well as long-term pain, was similar between both groups. Conclusion IH repair in patients who have experienced multiple re-recurrences results in outcomes comparable to patients operated for a primary IH with a similar risk profile. Further surgery in patients who have already experienced multiple hernia re-recurrences is justifiable when performed by a dedicated hernia surgeon.

Introduction.To explore the long term incidence and predictors of incisional hernia in patients that had RARP.Methods.All patients who underwent RARP between 2003 and 2012 were mailed a survey reviewing hernia type, location, and repair.Results.Of 577 patients, 48 (8.3%) had a hernia at an incisional site (35 men had umbilical), diagnosed at (median) 1.2 years after RARP (mean follow-up of 5.05 years). No statistically significant differences were found in preoperative diabetes, smoking, pathological stage, age, intraoperative/postoperative complications, operative time, blood loss, BMI, and drain type between patients with and without incisional hernias. Incisional hernia patients had larger median prostate weight (45 versus 38 grams;P=0.001) and a higher proportion had prior laparoscopic cholecystectomy (12.5% (6/48) versus 4.6% (22/480);P=0.033). Overall, 4% (23/577) of patients underwent surgical repair of 24 incisional hernias, 22 umbilical and 2 other port site hernias.Conclusion.Incisional hernia is a known complication of RARP and may be associated with a larger prostate weight and history of prior laparoscopic cholecystectomy. There is concern about the underreporting of incisional hernia after RARP, as it is a complication often requiring surgical revision and is of significance for patient counseling before surgery.

Introduction: Incisional hernia development after open abdomen therapy (OAT) remains a common complication in the long run. To demonstrate the feasibility, we describe our method of prophylactic onlay mesh implantation with definitive fascial closure after open abdomen therapy (PROMOAT). To display the feasibility of this concept, we evaluated the short-term outcome after absorbable and non-absorbable synthetic mesh implantation as prophylactic onlay.Material and Methods: Ten patients were prospectively enrolled, and prophylactic onlay mesh (long-term absorbable or non-absorbable) was implanted at the definitive fascial closure operation. The cohort was followed up with a special focus on incisional hernia development and complications.Results: OAT duration was 21.0 ± 12.6 days (95% CI: 16.9–25.1). Definitive fascial closure was achieved in all cases. No incisional hernias were present during a follow-up interval of 12.4 ± 10.8 months (range 1–30 months). Two seromas and one infected hematoma occurred. The outcome did not differ between mesh types.Conclusion: The prophylactic onlay mesh implantation of alloplastic, long-term absorbable, or non-absorbable meshes in OAT showed promising results and only a few complications that were of minor concern. Incisional hernias did not occur during follow-up. To validate the feasibility and safety of prophylactic onlay mesh implantation long-term data and large-scaled prospective trials are needed to give recommendations on prophylactic onlay mesh implantation after OAT.

Abstract Aim The aim of this systematic review was to report the risk of parastomal and incisional hernias after emergency surgery for Hinchey III–IV diverticulitis. Material and Methods The Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science and Scopus databases were systematically searched. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies comparing HP with other surgical treatment options for perforated diverticulitis classified as purulent or faecal (Hinchey III–IV) were considered for inclusion. Exclusion criteria were case series and reports, letters, editorials, reviews and conference abstracts. The primary endpoint was parastomal hernia incidence. The secondary endpoint was incisional hernia incidence. Seven studies (six randomized controlled trials and one retrospective cohort) with a total of 831 patients were eligible for inclusion. Results The parastomal hernia incidence was 15.2–46.0% for Hartmann procedure, 0–85.2% for primary anastomosis, 4.3% for resection and 1.6 % for laparoscopic lavage. The incisional hernia incidences were 7.8–38.1% for Hartmann procedure, 4.5–27.2% for primary anastomosis, 3.2–25.5% for primary resection, 2.7–11.1% for laparoscopic lavage and 16.1–45.8% for secondary resection. Due to heterogeneity of follow-up methods, follow-up time and lack of both parastomal and incisional hernia as outcome, no meta-analysis was conducted. Conclusions The hernia incidences reported after surgical treatment for complicated diverticulitis may be biased and underestimated. For future RCTs, researchers are encouraged to pay attention to hernia diagnosis, symptoms and prevention.

Background and Aims: Appendectomy is a common surgical procedure, but no overview of the long-term consequences exists. Our aim was to systematically review the long-term complications of appendectomy for acute appendicitis. Materials and Methods: This systematic review was reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42017064662). The databases PubMed and EMBASE were searched for original reports on appendectomy with n ≥ 500 and follow-up >30 days. The surgical outcomes were ileus and incisional hernia; other outcomes were inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, fertility, and mortality. Results: We included 37 studies. The pooled estimate of the ileus prevalence was 1.0% over a follow-up period of 4.6 (range, 0.5–15) years. Regarding incisional hernia, we found a pooled estimate of 0.7% prevalence within a follow-up period of 6.5 (range, 1.9–10) years. Ulcerative colitis had a pooled estimate of 0.15% prevalence in the appendectomy group and 0.19% in controls. The opposite pattern was found regarding Crohn’s disease with a pooled estimate of 0.20% prevalence in the appendectomy group and 0.12% in controls. No clear pattern was found regarding most of the examined cancers in appendectomy groups compared with background populations. Pregnancy rates increased after appendicitis compared with controls in most studies. Mortality was low after appendectomy. Conclusion: Appendectomy had a low prevalence of long-term surgical complications. We did not find any significant other long-term complications, though the prevalence of Crohn’s disease was higher and the prevalence of ulcerative colitis was lower after appendectomy than in controls. Appendectomy did not impair fertility.
