Background:
Maintaining normal intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) levels must be one major outcome of any ventral hernia repair, avoiding hypertension or abdominal compartment syndrome.
Aims:
To evaluate IAP during ventral hernia repair using Lázaro da Silva's procedure.
Methods:
IAP measurements using intravesical pressure were performed during four crucial intraoperative moments. Twenty-eight patients submitted to incisional herniorrhaphy were analyzed.
Results:
The IAP increased by 0.5 mmHg during the procedure, regardless of the type of prior laparotomy, sex, age, obesity, or hernia width.
Conclusions:
Despite the IAP increase observed, Lázaro da Silva's procedure did not result in intra-abdominal hypertension or abdominal compartment syndrome.
