Introduction And Importance:
Incisional hernias occur in about 15 % of all patients that undergo abdominal surgery. Treatment of giant incisional ventral hernias (GIH) results in a surgical challenge associated with postoperative morbidities, risk of hernia recurrence, and costs. In recent years the use of both botulinum toxin (BT) to overcome abdominal cavity leakage and improved preoperative imaging studies by 3D-reconstruction has improved outcomes after these complex procedures.
Case Presentation:
We describe a case of 3D-reconstruction technique before and after the use of botulinum toxin for complex ventral incisional hernia. No intraoperative complications or technical failures of the system were recorded. The operative time was 180 min, and the length of hospital stay was five days.
Discussion:
In this preliminary study we showed our experience with the use of 3D-reconstruction of abdominal wall following preoperative BT preparation for elective surgical repair of recurrent complex incisional hernias.
Conclusion:
The use of 3D-recostruction provides important information for a correct pre-surgical planning.
