A Large Single-Center ‘Experience of Open Lateral Abdominal Wall Hernia Repairs

Abstract: Lateral abdominal wall hernias may occur after a variety of procedures, including anterior spine exposure, urologic procedures, ostomy closures, or after trauma. Anatomically, these hernias are challenging and require a complete understanding of abdominal wall, interparietal and retroperitoneal, anatomy for successful repair. Mesh placement requires extensive dissection of often unfamiliar planes, and its fixation is difficult. We report our experience with open mesh repair of lateral abdominal wall hernias. A… Show more

“…Despite all the constraints associated with our small population, our VAMOS population had much shorter durations of surgery in comparison to studies examining open sublay implantation ( 3 5, 10, 12 ). This may be due to clear and comfortable laparoscopic hernia sac preparation.…”

“…However, the anatomy of the lateral abdominal wall and its hernias differs substantially and fundamentally from the anatomy of midline hernias ( 2 ). Mesh implantation using the open sublay technique therefore is a major surgical challenge in lateral hernias ( 3 , 5, 12 ).…”

“…In the era of minimally invasive surgery, midline laparotomies are still a common approach in emergencies 1 . This type of incision leads to a high incidence of incisional hernias (IHs) when compared with other approaches such as lateral laparotomies [2][3][4] . When a midline laparotomy is performed in highrisk patients, this incidence increases; one of these high-risk situations is emergency surgery, and the incidence of IHs after an emergency midline laparotomy (EML) ranges from 18% to 54% [5][6][7] .…”
