摘要

Background

Incisional ventral hernia repair is a complex problem. Rives-Stoppa technique is the most common procedure for patients with large incisional hernias. However, in cases of incisional hernias with a large defect width and/or the rectus to defect ratio (RDR) of less than 2, component separation is often required. At the same time, posterior component separation (PCS) is a technically challenging procedure. Currently, the evaluation of postoperative outcomes after PCS is primarily based on analysis of wound morbidity and recurrence rate. The aim of our study was to evaluate long-term surgical outcome after different types of PCS for midline incisional ventral hernias based on postoperative CT data and patient-reported outcome.

Materials and methods

Our study is a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database from 2017 to 2022 for patients with midline incisional hernia after different types of bilateral PCS (eTAR/TAR or Carbonell). All patients were evaluated by physical examination, a low dose computed tomography (CT) of the abdominal wall and quality of life assessment by EuraHS score.

Results

Total of 180 patients with midline incisional ventral hernia underwent Rives-Stoppa repair in combination with bilateral PCS. Long-term results were obtained in 120 patients (66.7%). According to CT data, most patients (79%) did not have any pathological changes of abdominal wall. Unfavorable outcomes were diagnosed in 24 patients (20.0%). We interpreted unfavorable outcomes as the presence of recurrence or interparietal hernia (IPH), or a combination of both. A total of 8 recurrences were identified: 3 - in open TAR group, 3 – in Carbonell group and 2 recurrences in eTAR group. A total of 20 (16.7%) postoperative IPH were revealed based on CT scans. The overall values of EuraHS-QoL score were significantly higher in the group with CT-complications (8 (4–15) vs. 4 (0–10), p = 0.024).

Conclusion

Detection of interparietal hernia for comprehensive long-term outcomes after posterior component separation is equally important as recurrence, because both can influence on quality of life.
