Geniş insizyonel hernilerde iki cerrahi yöntemin karşılaştırılması

Objectives: Incisional hernias occur from incisions of previous abdominal operations. It is an often complication of abdominal interventions. Prevalence of incisional hernias is approximately 2.9% and 3.6% in vertical midline incisions and transverse incisions, respectively. Incisional hernias cause morbidity and loss of manpower. The only treatment option is surgery. We aimed to compare surgical methods of incisional hernias and discuss the postoperative data in this retrospective report. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 54 patients with large incisional hernias operated between 2007 and 2011. Results: We compared age, chronic diseases (e.g. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus),which may cause postoperative recurrence, gender, personal factors, such as patients undergoing incisional hernia repair mesh over solid fascia less or over than 5 cm with the placement of decolation; recurrence, the development of postoperative seroma, receiving postoperative drainage and postoperative length of hospital stay were compared. While the recurrence rate of less than 5 cm above the decolation; seroma development, no significant difference in length of hospital stay and drain times to get. Conclusion: In conclusion, we think that recurrence rate should be reduced by dissection of 5 cm intact fascia and grafting in incisional hernias of anterior abdominal wall.
