About this study

We analyzed early postoperative complications (EPCs; wound infection, hematoma, and seroma) and late postoperative complications (recurrence) in 124 patients operated for IHs and recurrent IHs (RIHs) using our new technique. Our technique involved repairing hernias by preserving the hernia sac, which was later used to conceal the mesh that replaced the abdominal wall defect, thus dividing the mesh from subcutaneous tissue.

Treatment and study plan

modified "open mesh technique"

Procedure

We positioned mesh intraperitoneally so it can provide adequate mechanical support to the weakened abdominal wall. We also preserved hernia sack to conceal the mesh.
