Summary

Simple incisional hernia repair has high recurrence rates. Autodermal hernioplasty, using patient tissue, is a viable alternative to synthetic mesh, though less known among surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical innovation
  • Hernia repair techniques
  • Biomaterials in surgery

Background:

  • Simple incisional hernia repair (Mayo-procedure, direct adaptation) shows high recurrence rates (up to 50%).
  • Alternative methods like non-resorbable mesh or autodermal plasty are needed to reduce recurrence.
  • Autodermal hernioplasty is largely unknown among German surgeons, as indicated by a national inquiry of 669 hospitals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare autodermal hernioplasty with mesh implantation for incisional hernias.
  • To describe the history, morphology, healing, and technical aspects of various autodermal hernioplasty techniques.
  • To evaluate autodermal hernioplasty as an alternative to artificial mesh implantation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature analysis comparing autodermal hernioplasty and mesh implantation results.

  • Description of autodermal hernioplasty techniques (cutis lacing plasty, onlay, sublay corium mesh plasty).

    • Main Results:

    • Autodermal hernioplasty techniques are detailed, including their history and healing processes.
    • A comparison of results between autodermal hernioplasty and mesh implantation is presented through literature analysis.
    • The study highlights the underutilization of autodermal hernioplasty in Germany.

    Conclusions:

    • Autodermal hernioplasty offers a potential alternative to synthetic mesh for incisional hernia repair.
    • Further investigation and adoption of autodermal hernioplasty could improve surgical outcomes.
    • Increased awareness and training may be necessary for wider implementation of this technique.
