Purpose Abdominal wall hernias are a common problem. The success of abdominal wall reconstruction decreases with increasing hernia size. This study summarizes the outcomes of one surgeon’s experience using a “sandwich” technique for hernia repair in patients with loss of abdominal domain. Methods We reviewed our ventral hernia repair (VHR) experience from 2008 to 2015 among patients with loss of...
Background Complex ventral hernia repair (VHR) is a common surgical operation but carries a risk of complications from surgical site infections (SSI) and occurrences (SSO). We aimed to create a predictive risk score to identify patients at increased risk for SSO or SSI within 30 days of surgery. Methods Data were prospectively collected on all patients undergoing VHR between January 2008 and February...
Background Ventral hernia repair (VHR) is a commonly performed operation, but analysis of patient outcomes based upon hernia size is lacking. We sought to identify differences in operative repair and post-operative morbidity and mortality after open VHR based on hernia defect size. Methods Patient and operative data were retrospectively reviewed on all patients undergoing open incisional VHR between...
Purpose The authors evaluated the ability of a fibrin sealant (TISSEEL™: Baxter Healthcare Corp, Deerfield, IL, USA) to reduce the incidence of post-operative seroma following abdominal wall hernia repair. Methods We performed a 4-year retrospective review of patients undergoing abdominal wall hernia repair, with and without TISSEEL, by a single surgeon (FEE) at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Demographics,...
Purpose To our knowledge, there are limited small case series reports on endoscopic component separation (ECS) and no single institutional study comparing the difference in outcomes between laparoscopic and open ventral hernia repairs following endoscopic component separation. Methods A single institutional retrospective review was performed, identifying 42 patients who underwent endoscopic component...
