Summary
Repairing complex giant incisional hernias with intraperitoneal composite mesh is a viable surgical option. This approach offers an alternative for patients with contraindications to laparoscopic surgery, though fistula risks exist.
Area of Science:
- Abdominal surgery
- Surgical complications
- Hernia repair
Background:
- Incisional hernias are frequent after abdominal surgery, occurring in 2-20% of midline laparotomies.
- Poor wound healing is a common cause of incisional hernias.
- Giant incisional hernias pose significant surgical challenges.
