The da Silva method of incisional hernia repair
The British Journal of Surgery
|July 1, 1985
Abstract:
A technique of incisional hernia repair originally devised by da Silva is described. The operation was performed on 30 patients and no recurrence was found in the 27 cases examined 1 to 4.5 (mean 2.5) years later.
Insights
The da Silva technique for incisional hernia repair was used in 30 patients. Follow-up showed no recurrence in 27 patients examined, indicating a potentially effective surgical method.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Techniques
- Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
- Hernia Repair
Background:
- Incisional hernias are common post-surgical complications.
- Effective repair techniques are crucial for patient outcomes.
- The da Silva technique offers a specific approach to incisional hernia repair.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the da Silva technique for incisional hernia repair.
- To evaluate the efficacy and recurrence rates of the da Silva technique.
Main Methods:
- The study involved performing the da Silva incisional hernia repair on 30 patients.
- A follow-up examination was conducted on 27 of these patients.
Main Results:
- No instances of hernia recurrence were observed in the 27 patients examined.
- The mean follow-up period was 2.5 years, ranging from 1 to 4.5 years.
Conclusions:
- The da Silva technique appears to be an effective method for incisional hernia repair.
- Long-term follow-up suggests a low recurrence rate for this surgical approach.
