Umbilical Hernia Repair: Analysis after 934 Procedures

Abstract: There is a lack of consensus about the surgical management of umbilical hernias. The aim of this study is to analyze the medium-term results of 934 umbilical hernia repairs. In this study, 934 patients with an umbilical hernia underwent surgery between 2004 and 2010, 599 (64.1%) of which were evaluated at least one year after the surgery. Complications, recurrence, and the reoperation rate were analyzed. Complications were observed in 5.7 per cent of the patients. With a mean follow-up time of 35.5 months, rec… Show more

“…[25][26][27] This study finds that most of the recurrence after both open suture or mesh repairs occur in two year of surgery and this is very similar to study of Ngnyen MT et al 29 While many other studies have compared recurrence rates in various procedures of open ventral hernia repair but there subjects and follow-up period were too small to persuade the connotation of recurrence. 29 Ngnyen MT, et al and Porrero JI, et al found in their studies that suture repair is appropriate for small primary ventral hernia with acceptable recurrence rates of less than 10%, while our study finds higher rates of recurrence (18.7%) 29,30 and this makes to think that the size of defect should not be more than 3 cm in simple suture repair. Generally in open ventral hernia repair, there are higher rates of post-operative SSI, which varies from technique to technique and mesh positions.…”

“…Reoperation rate after suture/non-mesh repair may be 1.2–4.8% and after mesh 1–4.8% [ 17 , 18 , 19 ]. The cause for reoperation, e.g.…”

“…However, the umbilical hernia ring is generally smaller. Porrero et al [ 26 ] reported that the mean defect size of 934 umbilical hernias was 1.9 cm (1.78–1.93). We believe that for umbilical hernias smaller than 3 cm, this method is safe, reliable, and convenient.…”
