Summary

Aortic reconstruction surgery shows a high rate of ventral incisional hernias, particularly in aneurysm patients. This finding highlights potential differences between aortic aneurysm and occlusive disease patient populations.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Abdominal Aortic Surgery
  • Hernia Research

Background:

  • Ventral incisional hernias are a known complication after abdominal surgery.
  • The frequency of hernias following aortic reconstruction requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of ventral incisional hernias in patients undergoing aortic reconstruction.
  • To compare hernia rates between patients with aortic aneurysms and those with occlusive disease.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 76 patients undergoing aortic reconstruction over a three-year period.
  • Evaluation of 66 patients with at least one year of follow-up post-procedure.
  • Statistical analysis to compare hernia incidence between aneurysm and occlusive disease groups.

Main Results:

  • A 21.2% incidence of ventral incisional hernias was observed in 66 evaluable patients.
  • Ten of 14 hernias (37%) occurred in patients with aortic aneurysms (n=27).
  • Four of 14 hernias (10%) occurred in patients with occlusive disease (n=39), consistent with literature.

Conclusions:

  • Ventral incisional hernias are a significant complication following aortic reconstruction.
  • Aneurysm patients exhibit a statistically higher incidence of hernias compared to occlusive disease patients.
  • These findings may reflect underlying biological differences between aortic aneurysm and occlusive atherosclerotic disease.
