Peritoneal flap hernioplasty for reconstruction of transverse incisional hernias
2019
Background
Repair of transverse incisional hernias is a surgical challenge with current methods of abdominal wall reconstruction. The peritoneal flap hernioplasty addresses this problem using flaps of hernial sac to bridge the fascial gap and isolate the mesh from both the intraperitoneal contents and the subcutaneous space exploiting the retro-rectus space medially and the avascular plane between the internal and external oblique muscles laterally. The operative technique and long-term results of 80 consecutive cases with transverse incisional hernias undergoing repair with this method are reported.
