Küçük ve Orta Büyüklükteki Primer Ortahat Karın Duvarı FıtIklarında sIPOM ve IPOM-Plus Tekniklerinin Sonuçlarının Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Abstract Aims: To compare the results of the standard intraperitoneal onlay mesh (sIPOM) and intraperitoneal onlay mesh-plus (IPOM-Plus) techniques for the repair of small and medium-sized primary midline abdominal wall hernias (PMAWHs). Material and Method: A prospectively documented data of 82 patients who underwent the sIPOM and IPOM-Plus approach between January 2016 and December 2021 was retrospectively evaluated. Forty-one patients with PMAWH repaired with sIPOM (18) and IPOM-Plus (23) were included in the study. Median follow-up for the sIPOM and IPOM-Plus was 73 and 51 months (mean 73.83±7.81vs. 47.43±19.22), respectively. Results: Both groups had no difference in demographics, comorbidities, and smoking habits. The mesh area (MA) and the mesh-to-defect ratio (MDR) were not significant (p=0.083 and p= 0.30, respectively); however, the defect area (DA) was higher in the sIPOM group (p= 0.005). The IPOM-Plus group had a longer operative time and length of hospital stay (LOHS) and higher early postoperative pain than the IPOM group (p = 0.002, p = 0.049 and p
