Background: Flank hernias are uncommon and challenging to repair. Discussion of flank hernia repair is scarce in the literature. We present a novel approach to repair flank incisional, traumatic, and denervation hernias with a “hybrid” approach using an open repair in conjunction with the robotic platform for laparoscopic intraperitoneal mesh fixation. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on all patients who received a “hybrid” repair from April 2014 through January 2020 by a single surgeon. Patient and hernia characteristics, operative techniques, and outcomes were evaluated. Each patient underwent a similar operation with an intraperitoneal mesh as well as an onlay mesh. Minor technique changes including quilting and wound vac placement were developed and compared. Results: Twenty-five patients were included in the study. Outcomes analyzed included wound infection (8.0%), seroma formation (16.0%), hematoma formation (12.0%), mesh infection (0.0%), weight gain (16.0%), hernia recurrence (4.0%), reoperation (12.0%), and chronic pain (25.0%). Compared to the drain placement group, quilting of the subcutaneous tissue was more likely to result in seroma (17.6% vs. 12.5%, P = 0.618) and hematoma (17.6% vs. 0.0%, P = 0.296). Use of negative pressure incisional wound vac did not impact the incidence of wound infection (12.5% vs. 6.2%, P = 0.565), seroma (12.5% vs. 17.6%, P = 0.618), or hematoma formation (12.5% vs. 11.8%, P = 0.704). Conclusion: The “hybrid” repair represents a novel approach to flank hernias. Improved visualization of the intraperitoneal portions of the operation using the robotic platform allows for accurate mesh fixation. In experienced hands, this approach provides safe and satisfactory outcomes similar to a purely open repair.

Introduction: Laparoscopic repair of groin hernia (LRGH) is widely accepted for elective cases, but its use in emergency cases remains controversial. We aimed to compare postoperative outcomes between elective and emergent transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repairs. Materials and Methods: Patients undergoing emergent LRGH (EM-LR) using a TAPP technique between June 2014 and December 2019 were included for analysis. A case-control cohort of patients undergoing elective LRGH (EL-LR) in the same period was identified and matched (1:3) on gender, age, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, active smoking, and hypertension. Preoperative variables and postoperative outcomes were compared between both groups. Results: A total of 15 EM-LR were matched with 45 EL-LR. In patients undergoing EM-LR, the median time from onset of symptoms to surgery was 12 (1–168) h. No differences were found regarding the operative time (EM-LR: 107 min vs. EL-LR: 117 min, P = 0.37) and hernia defect size (EM-LR: 3.6 cm vs. EL-LR: 4.1 cm, P = 0.48). Although small bowel obstruction was observed in all emergent cases, no patients required enterectomy. Emergent cases were performed more frequently by specialist surgeons (EM-LR: 87% vs. EL-LR: 24%, P < 0.001). Mean hospital stay was 3.1 and 0.3 days after EM-LR and EL-LR, respectively (P < 0.001). Overall 30-day morbidity was similar between groups (EM-LR: 6.6% vs. EL-LR: 4.4%, P = 0.43). After a mean follow-up of 28.2 months, no recurrence was observed. Conclusion: EM-LR had similar overall morbidity and recurrence rates than elective repairs. Prompted surgical exploration and use of laparoscopy should be encouraged for the management of complicated inguinal hernias.
腹腔镜腹股沟疝修补术(LRGH)在选择性病例中被广泛接受,但在急诊病例中的应用仍存在争议。我们的目的是比较择期和紧急经腹腹膜前(TAPP)修复的术后结果。材料和方法:纳入2014年6月至2019年12月期间使用TAPP技术接受急诊LRGH (EM-LR)的患者进行分析。在同一时期进行选择性LRGH (EL-LR)的患者进行病例对照队列识别,并在性别、年龄、体重指数(BMI)、美国麻醉医师协会(ASA)评分、主动吸烟和高血压方面进行1:3匹配。比较两组术前变量和术后结果。结果:15例EM-LR与45例EL-LR匹配。在接受EM-LR的患者中,从出现症状到手术的中位时间为12(1-168)小时。在手术时间(EM-LR: 107分钟vs EL-LR: 117分钟,P = 0.37)和疝缺损大小(EM-LR: 3.6 cm vs EL-LR: 4.1 cm, P = 0.48)方面没有发现差异。虽然在所有紧急病例中都观察到小肠梗阻,但没有患者需要肠切除术。急诊病例更常由专科外科医生进行手术(EM-LR: 87% vs. EL-LR: 24%, P < 0.001)。EM-LR和EL-LR的平均住院时间分别为3.1天和0.3天(P < 0.001)。总体30天发病率组间相似(EM-LR: 6.6% vs. EL-LR: 4.4%, P = 0.43)。平均随访28.2个月,无复发。结论:EM-LR的总体发病率和复发率与选择性修复相似。对于复杂的腹股沟疝,应鼓励手术探查和腹腔镜检查。

PURPOSE: In laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP), the use of a larger mesh has been shown to reduce the rate of recurrence of hernia. However, recurrence may still be observed occasionally, especially in procedures performed by inexperienced surgeons. The purpose of this study was to clarify the learning curve of TAPP and to establish a procedure that precluded the possibility of recurrence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed the learning curve based on operative time, recurrence, and complication in a single surgeon’s experience of 1,000 consecutive TAPP. In addition, by examining cases showing recurrence, techniques necessary to prevent recurrence were clarified. RESULTS: The operative time stabilized after 60 cases and continued to reduce thereafter. Recurrence of nine hernias in eight patients within 1 year of surgery was observed up to the 482nd case. Recurrence or intraoperative complication was not confirmed since then. Recurrence after primary inguinal hernia repair presented as indirect hernia-type recurrence. The causes of recurrence were incomplete parietalization in indirect sliding hernia, insufficient dissection of the lateral dorsal side, and up-rolling mesh placement with the lateral dorsal side. CONCLUSION: Recurrence can be prevented by sufficiently dissecting the preperitoneal space on the lateral dorsal side and taking care to avoid up-rolling of the mesh while it is being placed.

Hernia surgery, and intra-abdominal surgery in general, have been accompanied by an increased risk of complications, largely due to a combination of operative complexity and obesity. Advances in care following major abdominal trauma, infections and complex abdominal procedures has led to the advent of several techniques that can allow dependable closure of these wider, more difficult defects. Anterior component separation (ACS) is a well-established technique used to achieve fascial closure in complex abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR). Wound related complications in the traditional ACS procedure have been reported to occur in 24%-50% of cases. In a quest to reduce complications and improve wound healing rates, methods have evolved in order to limit the anatomical injury caused by lateral elevation of flaps in the conventional techniques. These techniques involve preservation of the abdominal wall perforators. Thus ensuring appropriate perfusion of the overlying skin flaps. Perforator-sparing techniques have become increasingly important as they reflect greater understanding of how pre-operative planning can aid reduction of surgical risk, wound infection and improve wound healing in patients with complex abdominal wall hernias.

Progressive pneumoperitoneum (PPP) is a technique in which the abdomen is artificially and gradually insufflated over a period of time. The technique was first applied in hernia repair in the 1940s and is now regarded as a useful adjunct in the treatment of complex or giant hernias and those associated with “loss of domain” (LOD). With gradual insufflation, the abdomen becomes progressively distended, promoting soft tissue elongation and preparing it for the post-repair surplus volume of the herniated content. PPP also helps with preoperative pulmonary stabilization and preparation, and it induces pneumatic lysis of intestinal adhesions. In contrast to the longevity of the technique, the heterogeneity in indications and technical variations is remarkable. Indications vary greatly in literature, being either based on clinical judgment or different volumetric cut-off values. Neither is there any consensus on which gas should be used, what volume should be injected, in what frequency, and for how long the pneumoperitoneum should be maintained. There is a clear need for an international consensus concerning LOD hernias and how they are defined. As setting up randomized controlled trials on PPP is not feasible, further research should rely on high-quality observational studies. For reviews and meta-analysis to have any meaningful conclusions, these studies should follow, and adhere to, clear guidelines on the manner of reporting. However, PPP remains a very powerful adjunct in the treatment of large and complex hernias with LOD and has proven its value over time.

The management of most complex abdominal wall hernias remains a significant challenge and the approaches to repair them have evolved. To address these challenges, the posterior component separation using the transversus abdominis muscle release (TAR) was developed. Through cadaveric research and better understanding of the anatomy of the transversus abdominis muscle, the first TAR transversus abdominis release was performed in 2006. In the numerous studies performed since, TAR continues to show low recurrence rates, limited significant wound morbidity, rare mesh complications, and low incidence of mesh explantation. The TAR approach has now been definitively proven to be a valuable technique for abdominal wall reconstruction and can address a wide variety of defects. Moreover, a proper performed TAR has been shown to have no deleterious effects on the abdominal trunk musculature and trunk/core function. A deep understanding of the anatomy, preoperative optimization and precise surgical technique is imperative to performing a TAR and ensuring the best outcome for the patient.

The repair of large incisional hernia is challenging and has evolved at a high pace in recent decades, since Ramirez described the open anterior component separation, dividing the external oblique aponeurosis. Endoscopic anterior component separation is a minimally invasive approach to this technique, which also serves as an adjunct to open repair of large incisional hernia. Popularized by Michael Rosen’s group in 2007, this technique has become one of the many important tools every abdominal wall surgeon should master. In the current paper, we review the technique, from preoperative considerations and patient placement to specific technical details, and discuss pitfalls and potential limitations.
