Summary

Incisional hernias occurred more in women after gynecologic/obstetric surgery. Peritoneal-aponeurotic transposition repair showed a low 5-year recurrence rate below 3%.

Area of Science:

  • Abdominal Surgery
  • Surgical Complications
  • Hernia Repair

Background:

  • Incisional hernia is a common surgical complication.
  • Higher incidence rates observed in female patients.
  • Gynecologic and obstetric procedures are frequently implicated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the incidence and risk factors of incisional hernias.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of peritoneal-aponeurotic transposition for repair.
  • To determine the long-term recurrence rate following this surgical technique.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 125 patients undergoing incisional hernia repair.
  • Surgical repair exclusively utilized the peritoneal-aponeurotic transposition technique.
  • Follow-up data collected to assess recurrence over 5 years.

Main Results:

  • Incisional hernia occurred in 125 patients, with 81% being female.
  • Gynecologic and obstetric surgeries accounted for 58% of cases.
  • The 5-year recurrence rate was found to be less than 3%.

Conclusions:

  • Female patients, particularly after gynecologic/obstetric procedures, are at higher risk for incisional hernias.
  • Peritoneal-aponeurotic transposition is an effective surgical repair method for incisional hernias.
  • This repair technique demonstrates a low long-term recurrence rate, suggesting its clinical utility.
