Aim. Three incisional ventral abdominal wall hernias were repaired by placing a 20 × 30 cm composite mesh via single incision of 2 cm. Methods. All three cases had previous operations and presented with giant incisional defects clinically. The defects were repaired laparoscopically via single incision with the placement of a composite mesh of 20 × 30 cm. Nonabsorbable sutures were needed to hang and fix the mesh only in the first case. Double-crown technique was used in all of the cases to secure the mesh to the anterior abdominal wall. Results. The mean operation time was 120 minutes. The patients were mobilized and led for oral intake at the first postoperative day. No morbidity occurred. Conclusion. Abdominal incisional hernias can be repaired via single incision with a mesh application in experienced centers.

Objectives. To evaluate the immediate results of surgical treatment of patients with large incisional hernia of the anterior abdominal wall with the use of the mesh implants.Materials and methods. The data were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The study included patients with a large and / or complex incisional hernia. There were 108 patients who underwent incisional hernia repair with mesh reinforcement in the period from 2012 to 2016. In all cases the repairs were made with mesh implants. The average age of patients was (56.4 ± 10.4) years. The body mass index (BMI) was on average (32.6 ± 6.24) kg/m2. The medial localization of the hernia was 102 (94.44%). The width of the hernia defect averaged (12.2 ± 3.7) cm. Implants were placement in onlay positions – 19 (17.6%), sublay – 49 (45.37%), IPOM (Intraperitoneal onlay mesh) – 30 (27.77%) patients, the component separation technique (CST) with mesh reinforcement was used in 10 (9.25%) patients. Active aspiration drainage was performed in 72 (66.66%) patients.Results. The average time for draining the postoperative wound was (5 ± 2.2) days. The number of wound complications was 23 (21.3%), the number of seromas of the postoperative wound prevailed was 16 (14.8%) patients, of which 2 (1.85%) were chronic abdominal wall seromas, hematoma occurred in  2 patients (1.85%), the number of prolonged serous exudation was 7 (6.5%), necrosis of the wound edges occurred in 4 (3.7%) patients. There was no mortality. Reliably more often wound complications occurred in patients with large hernia defects (p = 0.006), and also with an increase in the duration of surgical intervention (p = 0.01). The hospital-stay in patients with complications was significantly greater (p < 0.001), the need for analgesics also increased (p < 0.001).Conclusion. Prevention of wound complications after large and complex incisional hernia repair with mesh reinforcement is an important direction in improving the results of surgical treatment in this category of patients.

Abstract Aim The simultaneous repair of incisional hernias (IH) and the reconstruction of the intestinal transit may pose a challenge for many surgeons. Collaboration between units specialized in abdominal wall and colorectal surgery can favor simultaneous treatment. We present our experience in the collaboration between specialized units for the simultaneous treatment of complex incisional hernias and ostomy closure. Material and Methods Descriptive study of patients undergoing simultaneous surgery of complex IH repair and intestinal transit reconstruction in the period 2018.2021. All interventions were performed electively and with the collaboration of surgeons experts in abdominal wall and colorectal surgery. Demographic variables, hernias characteristics, surgical techniques, postoperative evolution, morbidity and mortality are recorded Results 16 patients are included. 8 with ileostomy, 3 lateral colostomies and 5 end colostomies . All the patients presented IH of the middle laparotomy and 12 had stomal hernias associated. The mean diameters of the IH were 16.2cm longitudinal and 11cm transverse. Intestinal transit was reconstructed in 15 cases (94%) and incisional hernia repair in 100%. Component separation was required in 75% of cases (8 posterior and 4 anterior). Morbidity in the first postoperative month was 18%, requiring 2 reoperations (12%). At the end of the mean follow-up of 10.8 months, 81% of the cases did not present complications. Conclusions The collaboration between specialist allows the use of advanced techniques in the simultaneous reconstruction of the abdominal wall and intestinal transit, with good clinical results and patient quality of life.

Giant encapsulated haematoma of the anterior abdominal wall is an unusual complication of mesh incisional hernia repair. The commonest symptoms are swelling and pain. It can be diagnosed with ultrasonography and Computed Tomography (CT) scan. The objective of this case report is to illustrate the challenges of management of a complex pathology in a high-risk term pregnancy. In this case report, a 28-year-old morbidly obese multiparous woman with two previous ventral wall hernia repairs and two previous caesarian sections, presented at term to the prenatal clinic with protruding anterior abdominal mass. Initial preoperative diagnosis aided by ultrasonography was a herniated term gestation through an incisional hernia. Intraoperatively, the surgical team was faced with the challenge of managing a longstanding giant organized haematoma of the anterior abdominal wall and the anticipation and prevention of obstetric complications associated with two previous caesarian sections and a big baby. This report illustrates that good clinical assessment combined with sonographic assessment of complex cases by an experienced radiologist is crucial to avoid missed diagnosis. A multidisciplinary team management was essential for a successful outcome.

Purpose. We present our experience in single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy by using a grasper directly without using a trocar in five patients. Methods and Results. The technique involves the use of Karl Storz 27290F grasper in order to perform gallbladder retraction in single port cholecystectomy. The grasper was introduced directly into the skin through abdominal wall without using any trocar and used to mobilize gallbladder whenever needed during surgery without causing any perforation or leakage of the gallbladder. There were no intraoperative and postoperative complications in 5 patients with the advantages of shorter operation time and almost invisible postoperative skin scar formation. Conclusion. We claim that the use of this instrument in SILS surgery might be advantageous than the conventional placement of sutures for the gallbladder mobilization.

The laparoscopic incisional hernia repair is a safe alternative to open mesh repair. The procedure has the advantages of minimal access surgery and lower recurrence rate. A prospective study of laparoscopic incisional hernia repair of our first 11 patients was performed from July 2008 to December 2009. No serious intraoperative or postoperative morbidity was encountered, only two patients developed seroma. The mean operating time was 90 minutes (60 to 180 minutes). The mean day of discharge after surgery was 3 days (2-7 days). No patient developed a recurrence during mean follow up period of 10 months. Laparoscopic repair of incisional hernia has been shown to be feasible, safe and effective. However, careful patient selection and acquiring the necessary advanced laparoscopic surgical skills coupled with the proper use of equipment are mandatory before embarking on this procedure.Key Words: Incisional hernia; Laparoscopic repair; Mesh; Polypropylene DOI: 10.3329/fmcj.v5i2.6819Faridpur Med.

Abstract Purpose In this study, a three-step novel surgical technique was developed for incisional hernia, in which a laparoscopic procedure with a mini-laparotomy is combined: so-called ‘three-step incisional hybrid repair’. The aim of this study was to reduce the risk of intestinal lacerations during adhesiolysis and recurrence rate by better symmetrical overlap placement of the mesh. Objectives To evaluate first perioperative outcomes with this technique. Methods From 2016 to 2020, 70 patients (65.7% females) with an incisional hernia of > 2 and ≤ 10 cm underwent a elective three-step incisional hybrid repair in two non-academic hospitals performed by two surgeons specialised in abdominal wall surgery. Intra- and postoperative complications, operation time, hospitalisation time and hernia recurrence were assessed. Results Mean operation time was 100 min. Mean hernia size was 4.8 cm; 45 patients (64.3%) had a hernia of 1–5 cm, 25 patients (35.7%) of 6–10 cm. Eight patients had a grade 1 complication (11.4%), five patients a grade 2 (7.1%), two patients (2.8%) a grade 4 complication and one patient (1.4%) a grade 5 complication. Five patients had an intraoperative complication (7.0%), two enterotomies, one serosa injury, one omentum bleeding and one laceration of an epigastric vessel. Mean length of stay was 3.3 days. Four patients (5.6%) developed a hernia recurrence during a mean follow-up of 19.5 weeks. Conclusion A three-step hybrid incisional hernia repair is a safe alternative for incisional hernia repair. Intraoperative complications rate was low.
