Abstract:
The available options for recurrent incisional hernias (RIH) following previous laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) plus were open onlay repair, open Rives-Stoppa (RS), laparoscopic enhanced view totally extraperitoneal-RS (ETEP-RS) and laparoscopic subcutaneous onlay mesh repair. Majority of these RIH were managed by open onlay mesh repairs or laparoscopic Redo IPOM plus. There are not much data available in the literature on the ETEP approach for RIH following previous IPOM plus with the placement of mesh in the retrorectus space. In this article, I would like to share technical aspects, challenges faced and tips to overcome these challenges of performing ETEP for RIH following previous IPOM plus repairs.
