Objective Surgical repair for giant lower ventral hernia is facing challenge owing to enormous tissue defect and the critical structures of pubis and il iac vessels. To investigate the method and curative effect of intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) combined with Sublay for compound repair of giant lower ventral hernia. Methods Between November 2008 and August 2010, 26 patients with giant lower ventral hernia were treated. There were 15 males and 11 females with an averageage of 61 years (range, 36-85 years), including 11 cases of lower midl ine incisional hernia due to radical rectal procedures, 6 cases of Pfannenstiel incisional hernia due to radical uterectomy, and 9 cases of lower midl ine incisional hernia due to radical cystectomy. Of them, 11 patients underwent previous repair procedures. The mean time from hernia to admission was 8.5 years (range, 1-15 years). All hernias were defined as M3-4-5W3 according to classification criteria of Europe Hernia Society. The mean longest diameter was 17.5 cm (range, 13-21 cm) preoperatively. Before 2 weeks of operation, abdominal binder was tightened gradually until the contents of hernia sac were reduced totally, and then reconstruction of abdominal wall was performed with compound repair of IPOM and Sublay technique. Results All of compound repair procedures were performed successfully. The mean hernia size was 112.5 cm2 (range, 76.2-160.6 cm2); the mean polypropylene mesh size was 120.4 cm2 (range, 75.3-170.5 cm2); and the mean compound mesh size was 220.0 cm2 (range, 130.4-305.3 cm2). The mean operative time was 155.5 minutes (range, 105.0-195.0 minutes) and the mean postoperative hospital ization time were 12 days (range, 7-16 days). Incisions healed by first intention; 4 seromas (15.4%) and 3 chronic pains (11.5%) occurred and were cured after symptomatic treatment. All patients were followed up 3-24 months (mean, 14.5 months). No recurrence and any other discomforts related to repair procedure occurred. Conclusion Compound repair of IPOM and Sublay is a safe and efficient surgical procedure for giant lower ventral hernia, owing to its characteristics of adequate patch overlap and low recurrence rate. Perioperative management and operative technology play the key role in the success of repair procedure.
Objective To investigate the procedure and the effectiveness of modified Sublay-Keyhole technique for repair in situ of parastomal hernia. Methods Between October 2007 and March 2010, 11 patients with parastomal hernia underwent modified Sublay-Keyhole technique for repair in situ. There were 5 males and 6 females with an average age of 63 years (range, 55-72 years). The average body mass index was 28.2 (range, 23.5-32.5). All stomas in patients were permanent, including 6 end colostomies caused by abdominal perineal resection for rectal cancer, 2 end ileostomies secondary to total colon resection for ulcerative colitis, and 3 end ileostomies following ileal conduit for bladder resection. One patient underwent previous prothetic repair with polypropylene mesh. The average time from last operation to admission was 2.5 years (range, 1-4.5 years). According to classification criteria of George Eliot hospital, 3 cases were classified as grade 2b, 2 as grade 3a, 5 as grade 3b, and 1 as grade 4. The average longest diameter of hernia ring was 9.5 cm (range, 6-12cm). Results Reconstructions of abdominal wall in all patients were performed successfully through modified Sublay-Keyhole technique. The average size of hernia ring was 75.5 cm2 (range, 30-112cm2), and the average size of polypropylene mesh was 280.5 cm2 (range, 175-360 cm2). The average operative time was 165 minutes (range, 120-195 minutes) and the average postoperative hospitalization days were 11 days (range, 9-14 days). All patients achieved healing of incision by first intention with no abdominal wall infection. Seroma and hematoma occurred in 2 patients and 1 patient, respectively, and were cured by needle aspiration and pressure bandaging. All patients were followed up 26.3 months on average (range, 10-39 months). One case suffered from parastomal hernia recurrence at 11 months postoperatively because of suture loosening and too wide aperture in mesh; and re-sutures in both mesh aperture and myofascial dehiscence were given and no recurrence was observed during additional follow-up of 15 months. No parastomal hernia recurrence or incisional hernia occurred in the other 10 patients.Conclusion Modified Sublay-Keyhole technique is an effective procedure for reconstruction of abdominal wall in patients with parastomal hernia for low recurrence incidence and less complications. But the long-term effectiveness needs further follow-up

To summarize the therapeutic method and effectiveness of parastomal hernia repair in situ with sublay methods. Methods Between February 2003 and May 2009, 34 patients with parastoma hernia were treated with Sublay methods using primary midl ine incision approach and polypropylene patch. There were 23 males and 11 females withan average age of 58.4 years (range, 43-78 years). The disease duration was 1 to 17 years (mean, 4.7 years). Of 34 patients, 6 had recurrent parastoma hernia. The diameter of hernia ring was 5-12 cm (mean, 7.2 cm). Results Sublay technique repair was successfully performed in all patients. The operative time was 96-160 minutes (mean, 116 minutes). The gastric tube was pulled out 12 hours to 5 days (mean, 3 days) after operation. The drainage tube was taken out at 2-7 days (mean, 4 days) after operation. The postoperative hospital ization time was 7 to 15 days (mean, 9 days). And the incisions of 32 patients healed by first intention. Incisional fat l iquefaction occurred in 1 case and infection in 1 case, and their incisions healed after dressing change. Seroma at the upper of the patch occurred in 7 patients and was cured by 2 to 3 times of percutaneous puncture and local pressure. Thirty-two patients were followed up 6-75 months (mean, 32 months). No chronic pain, lumping sensation, or local expansion in wound area occurred. Two recurrences occurred 3 months and 7 months after operation, respectively, and patients restored after expectant treatment or re-operation. Conclusion The in situ Sublay methods using primary midl ine incision approach and nonabsorbable patch is a feasible and safe method for parastomal hernia repair.
Objective To summarize the cl inical effect of allogenic acellular dermal matrix in repair of abdominal wall hernia and defect. Methods The cl inical data were analyzed retrospectively from 31 patients with abdominal wall hernia and defect repaired by allogenic acellular dermal matrix between March 2007 and November 2009. There were 19 males and 12females with an age range of 10-70 years (median, 42 years), including 6 abdominal wall defects caused by abdominal wall tumor resection, 4 patchs infection after abdominal wall hernia repair using prosthetic mesh, 2 incisional hernia, 1 parastomal hernia, 1 recurrent parastomal hernia receiving mesh repair, 1 mesh infection caused by parastomal hernia repair using prosthetic patch, 3 mesh infection caused by tension free inguina after hernia repair, and 13 inguinal hernia. There were 12 patients with contaminated or infectious wound. The disease duration was from 1 to 34 months (6 months on average). The defect size of abdominal wall ranged from 6 cm × 4 cm to 19 cm × 10 cm. Abdominal wall hernia or defect underwent repair using allogenic acelluar demall matrix. Results Of the 31 patients, 29 patients recovered with primary wound heal ing. Chronic sinus tract occurred in 1 patient and the wound was cured by change dressing. Wound dehiscence and patch exposure occurred in 1 patient, and second heal ing was achieved after change dressing. All the 31 patients were followed up 6-36 months, no abdominal wall hernia or hernia recurrence occurred in other patients except 1 patient who had abdominal bulge. And no foreign body sensation or chronic pain in wound area occurred. Conclusion It is feasible and safe to use allergenic acellular dermal matrix patch for repair of abdominal wall hernia or soft tissue defect, especially in contaminated or infectious wound.
Objective To summarize the surgical technique and the effectiveness of CK Parastomal patch in laparoscopic repair of parastomal hernia. Methods The cl inical data were retrospectively analysed from 24 patients who received laparoscopic repair of parastomal hernia using CK Parastomal patch between June 2006 and March 2010. There were 15 males and 9 females with a median age of 55 years (range, 47-80 years). Among them, 19 patients were with colon parastomalhernia in the left lower quadrant and 5 patients with ileum parastomal hernia in the right lower quadrant. The parastomal hernia duration was 1 to 4 years (mean, 2.4 years). The maximal diameter of the hernia ring was 3 to 7 cm (mean, 5.2 cm). All patients did not receive hernia repair. Results Laparoscopic repair of parastomal hernia was successfully performed in 18 cases, and open repair was used in 6 cases because of extensive adhesion. The average operating time was 121 minutes (range, 78 to 178 minutes). All wounds healed by first intention. Wound seroma occurred in 8 cases at 3 to 7 days after operation and disappeared by aspiration. Eleven patients complained of pain in the operative area within 1 month after operation and it disappeared without intervention. All patients were followed up 6 to 39 months (mean, 27 months). One recurrence occurred at 3 months after operation, and no recurrence occurred in the other patients. Conclusion Laparoscopic repair of parastomal hernia using CK Parastomal patch is a safe and feasible procedure with a satisfactory short-term effectiveness, but the long-term effectiveness should be further observed.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate the effects of tension-free herniorrhaphy on endocrine functions of patients with inguinal hernia. MethodsOne hundred and twenty-seven patients were randomly divided into tension-free group(n=65) and conventional group (n=62). The mean ages of tension-free group and conventional group were(51.8±14) year and(48.4±12) year respectively. There were 52 indirect hernias and 13 direct hernias in tension-free group. There were 51 indirect hernias and 11 direct hernias in conventional group. Bassini repair was used in conventional group. Peripheral blood samples were obtained preoperatively and 3 h, 24 h after operation for measuring the levels of cortisol, T3, TSH, insuline, Cpeptide and and glucose. The data were analysed through t test. ResultsThe levels of cortisol, C-peptide and glucose in conventional group were remarkably higher (P6”0.05) while the levels of T3,TSH were notably lower (P＜0.05) than those in tension-free group at 3 h, 24 h postoperatively, the level of insulin in conventional group was significantly higher than that in tension-free group at 24 h postoperatively. ConclusionThe results of this study indicate that tension-free repair imposes less influence on the endocrine functions of patients with inguinal hernia postoperatively than conventional repair does. This might explain pathophysiologically the quick recovery of the patients receiving tension-free herniorrhaphy.
Objective To summarize the experiences and methods on reoperation of recurrent incisional hernia after mesh repair with prosthetic patch. Methods Sixteen patients who got reoperation from January 2007 to December 2010 because of recurrent incisional hernia after mesh repair were analyzed retrospectively. Results All patients received prosthetic patch repair for reoperation. Thirteen patients received new mesh repair accompanied with old mesh removal, repair conducted by suturing new mesh with old mesh together in two patients, and repair performed by new mesh overlapping the old mesh in one patient. All patients recovered with primary wound healing. Fluid upon the mesh occurred in 3 patients and cured by percutaneous puncture and pressure dressing. Postoperative hospital stay was 7 to 16 days and the average 9 days. The drainage was removed 2 to 7 days after operation and the average was 4 days. All the 16 patients were followed up. And during a follow-up range of 5 to 36 months and the average 20 months, there was slight foreign body sensation in one patient, no chronic pain in wound area occurred. And no abdominal wall hernia recurrence occurred. Conclusions Reoperation of recurrent incisional hernia after mesh repair need to consider the recurrent position, material of the previous mesh, and the previous surgical methods, and should select appropriate prosthetic patch and surgical procedure, then could gain satisfied results.
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of endoscopic low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation with acellular dermal matrix patch for chronic abdominal wall sinus by comparing with the traditional surgical method. Methods Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 53 cases of chronic abdominal wall sinus between January 2006 and May 2012. Of 53 patients, 18 underwent endoscopic low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation with acellular dermal matrix patch (trial group), and 35 underwent traditional surgical treatment (control group). No significant difference was found in gender, age, etiology, disease duration, and location between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Results The blood loss during sinus clearance, postoperative hospitalization days, and sinus union time of the trial group were significantly better than those of the control group (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference was found in the operative time for sinus clearance (t=0.28, P=0.78). No postoperative sinus bleeding or infection occurred in the trial group, but bleeding and infection in 5 and 3 cases of the control group respectively, showing significant differences between 2 groups (P lt; 0.05). The follow-up time was 4-18 months (mean, 12.4 months) in the trial group, and was 6-48 months (mean, 38.5 months) in the control group. No sinus recurrence was observed during follow-up. Conclusion Endoscopic low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation with acellular dermal matrix patch has the following advantages in treating chronic abdominal wall sinus: clear view, thorough cleaning of granulation necrosis tissues, less bleeding, faster sinus union, and shorter hospitalization days; however, further observations on the long-term effectiveness and the safety are required .
