Incisional Hernia Repair by Abdominal Wall Component Release With Contemporary Onlay Mesh Fixation

Overview

There is a great expansion in the presentation of complex incisional hernia defects. Primary closure for most cases is impossible with a high rate of recurrence. Component separation provides an autologous repair of the defect but still has considerable recurrence rate. Reinforcement of component separation provides a more strength full repair and may be less recurrence.

the surgical correction was done under general anesthesia. After scrubbing and draping, an elliptical incision was performed . Open the hernia sac then reduce the contents with adhesolysis as required. subcutaneous flaps on both sides were created in a manner that permit to spread an 8 cm mesh after the closure of the abdominal wall. approximate the facia after trimming of its edges with clamps with a manner that allow 1to 2 cm overlap in the midline without tension. In case of tension do selective myofascial advancement (sequential components release). Our steps would be first a unilateral posterior rectus sheath release (1-2 cm longuitodinal incision lateral to linea alba) and reassess, if tension still present, bilateral posterior sheath release should be performed.If tension still present, do a unilateral then bilateral external oblique release as required (1-2 cm lateral to the linea semilunaris along the length of the abdominal wall). close the defect with prolene 1 then cover with onlay wide pore mesh fixation with 2/0 prolene. Close the skin after placement of 2 subcutaneous suction drains.
