Abstract
Objective
To study the clinical effect of retromuscular mesh repair for incisional hernias.
Methods
A retrospective study was conducted on 107 patients of incisional hernia who underwent Sublay operation in Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital during January 2015 and December 2017. Demographic data, surgical technique, postoperative complications and postoperative recovery were analyzed.
Results
All the operations successfully completed. The mean operation time was (60.3±7.8) minutes. The mean hospitalization was (17.6±5.3) days. 2 patients developed incision fat liquefaction and finally recovered by continuous dressing changes. 1 patient had wound hematoma and 1 patient had seroma, were treated conservatively. There was no recurrence during the mean follow-up time of (22.7±10.8) months (range 4 to 40 months). No mesh related complications such as mesh infection, chronic postoperative pain and foreign body sensation was detected.
