BACKGROUND: Prophylactic mesh augmentation in emergency laparotomy closure is controversial. We aimed to perform a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) evaluating the placement of prophylactic mesh during emergency laparotomy. METHODS: We performed a systematic review of Cochrane, Scopus, and PubMed databases to identify RCT comparing prophylactic mesh augmentation and no mesh augmentation in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. We excluded observational studies, conference abstracts, elective surgeries, overlapping populations, and trial protocols...

PURPOSE: Accurate prediction of hernia occurrence is vital for surgical decision-making and patient management, particularly in colorectal surgery patients. While a hernia prediction model has been developed, its performance in external populations remain to be investigated. This study aims to validate the existing model on an external dataset of patients who underwent colorectal surgery. METHODS: The "Penn Hernia Calculator" model was externally validated using the Hughes Abdominal Repair Trial (HART) data, a randomized trial comparing colorectal cancer surgery closure techniques...

BACKGROUND: Complex ventral hernias are frequently repaired via an open transversus abdominis release (TAR). Obesity, particularly a BMI > 40, is a strong predictor of wound morbidity following this procedure. We aimed to determine if preoperative weight loss may still be beneficial in patients with persistently elevated BMIs. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of patients with obesity (BMI ≥ 30) who underwent open TAR at a tertiary academic medical center from January 2018 to December 2021 was completed...

BACKGROUND: Midline exploratory laparotomy is essential in emergency surgery, and effective closure of the abdominal wall is crucial for optimal healing and reduced complications. The far-near-near-far technique for rectus sheath closure has gained attention due to potential advantages over conventional closure due to the fact that even if one suture gives way it does not affect the nearby suture and the rectus sheath is still held in place. This study aims to compare these techniques in emergency exploratory laparotomy...

BACKGROUND: High-level evidence regarding the technique of abdominal wall closure for patients undergoing emergency midline laparotomy is sparse. Therefore, we conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two commonly applied abdominal wall closure strategies after primary emergency midline laparotomy. METHODS/DESIGN: CONTINT was a multi-center pragmatic open-label exploratory randomized controlled parallel trial. Two different abdominal wall closure strategies in patients undergoing primary midline laparotomy for an emergency surgical intervention with a suspected septic focus in the abdominal cavity were compared: the continuous, all-layer suture and the interrupted suture technique...

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic incisional hernia repair is increasingly performed worldwide and expected to be superior to conventional open repair regarding hospital stay and quality of life (QoL). The INCisional Hernia-Trial was designed to test this hypothesis. METHODS: A multicenter parallel randomized controlled open-label trial with a superiority design was conducted in six hospitals in the Netherlands. Patients with primary or recurrent incisional hernias were randomized by computer-guided block-randomization to undergo either conventional open or laparoscopic repair...

Mass closure with a continuous suture using large bite stitching technique has been widely accepted for midline laparotomy wound closures. However, emerging evidence suggests the use of small bite technique to reduce rates of incisional ventral hernia, surgical site infection (SSI) and burst abdomen. This meta-analysis aims to compare small versus large bite stitching techniques to assess complication rates in midline laparotomy wound closures. A comprehensive multi-database search (OVID EBM Reviews, OVID Medline, EMBASE, Scopus) was conducted from database inception to 11th October 2021 according to PRISMA guidelines...

INTRODUCTION: Many studies identify active smoking as a significant risk factor for postoperative wound and mesh complications in patients undergoing abdominal wall reconstruction surgery. However, our group conducted an analysis using data from the ACHQC database, which revealed similar rates of surgical site infection (SSI) and surgical site occurrence requiring procedural intervention (SSOPI) between active smokers and non-smokers As a result, the Cl eveland Clinic Center for Abdominal Core Health instituted a policy change where active smokers were no longer subject to surgical delay...

INTRODUCTION: Incisional hernias are associated with a reduced quality of life. Mesh reinforcement of the abdominal wall is the current standard for incisional hernia repair (IHR), since it reduces the risk of recurrence. The best position for the mesh remains controversial, and each position has advantages and disadvantages. OBJECTIVE: In this nationwide population-based study, we aimed to determine whether IHR with intraperitoneal mesh is associated with an increased risk of bowel obstruction...

PURPOSE: Undeniably, in the last 2 decades, surgical approaches in the field of abdominal wall repair have notably improved. However, the best approach to provide a durable repair with low morbidity rate has yet to be determined. The purpose of this study is to outline our long-term results following the Transverse Abdominis Release (TAR) approach in patients with complex ventral hernias, focusing on the incidence of recurrence and overall patient satisfaction following surgery. METHODS: This is a retrospective study on 167 consecutive patients who underwent TAR between January 2015 and December 2021 for primary or recurrent complex abdominal hernias...

PURPOSE: The open Rives-Stoppa retrorectus and transversus abdominis release (TAR) techniques are well established in open ventral and incisional hernia repair. The principles are currently being translated into minimally invasive surgery with different concepts. In this study, we investigate our initial results of transperitoneal laparoscopic TAR for ventral incisional hernia repair (laparoscopic TAR). METHODS: Over a 20-month period, 23 consecutive patients with incisional hernias underwent surgery...

BACKGROUND: Tension-free abdominal closure is a primary tenet of laparotomy. But this concept neglects the baseline tension of the abdominal wall. Ideally, abdominal closure should be tailored to restore native physiologic tension. We sought to quantify the tension needed to re-establish the linea alba in patients undergoing exploratory laparotomy. METHODS: Patients without ventral hernias undergoing laparotomy at a single institution were enrolled from December 2021 to September 2022...

IMPORTANCE: Transfascial (TF) mesh fixation in open retromuscular ventral hernia repair (RVHR) has been advocated to reduce hernia recurrence. However, TF sutures may cause increased pain, and, to date, the purported advantages have never been objectively measured. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether abandonment of TF mesh fixation would result in a noninferior hernia recurrence rate at 1 year compared with TF mesh fixation in open RVHR. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: In this prospective, registry-based, double-blinded, noninferiority, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial, a total of 325 patients with a ventral hernia defect width of 20 cm or less with fascial closure were enrolled at a single center from November 29, 2019, to September 24, 2021...

INTRODUCTION: The most appropriate method of reconstructing the abdominal wall at the site of a simultaneous stoma takedown is controversial. The contaminated field, concomitant GI procedure being performed and presence of a hernia all complicate decision-making. We sought to describe the surgical approaches, mesh type and outcomes of concomitant abdominal wall reconstruction during stoma takedown in a large hernia registry. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: All patients who underwent stoma takedown with simultaneous hernia repair with retromuscular mesh placement from January 2014 to May 2022 were identified within the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC)...
