RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Repair of an umbilical hernia is most often considered the less important condition when concomitant with other abdominal surgery. Despite this, the evidence for a concomitant umbilical hernia repair is sparse. The aim of this nationwide cohort study is to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of primary umbilical hernia repair and umbilical hernia repair concomitant with other abdominal surgery. METHOD: Data from the Danish Hernia Database and the National Patients Registry from January 2007 to December 2018 was merged, resulting in identification of patients receiving umbilical hernia concomitant to another abdominal surgery (laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and laparoscopic appendectomy). This group was propensity score matched with patients undergoing umbilical hernia repair as a primary procedure. Outcome data included 90-day readmission, 90-day reoperation, and operation for recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 3365 primary umbilical hernia repairs and 2418 umbilical hernia repairs concomitant to other abdominal surgery were included. Readmission (10.5%, 255/2418) and reoperation (3.8%, 93/2418) rates within 90 days were decreased for umbilical hernia repairs concomitant to other abdominal surgery, compared with primary umbilical hernia repairs (22.7%, 765/3365) and (10.5%, 255/3365), P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively. The rate of operation for recurrence was significantly increased for primary repairs (4.2%, 141/3365), compared with repairs concomitant to other abdominal surgery (3.2%, 77/2418), P = 0.014. CONCLUSION: Outcome in umbilical hernia repair performed concomitant to laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, elective or emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy, or laparoscopic appendectomy is comparable to umbilical hernia repair without concomitant surgery.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols lead to reduced post-operative stay and improved outcomes after most types of abdominal surgery. Little is known about the optimal post-operative protocol after robotic ventral hernia repair (RVHR), including the potential limits of outpatient surgery. We report the results of an ERAS protocol after RVHR aiming to identify factors associated with overnight stay in hospital, as well as patient-reported pain levels in the immediate post-operative period. METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing RVHR. Patients were included in a prospective database, registering patient characteristics, operative details, pain and fatigue during the first 3 post-operative days and pre- and 30-day post-operative hernia-related quality of life, using the EuraHS questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 109 patients were included, of which 66 (61%) underwent incisional hernia repair. The most performed procedure was TARUP (robotic transabdominal retromuscular umbilical prosthetic hernia repair) (60.6%) followed by bilateral roboTAR (robotic transversus abdominis release) (19.3%). The mean horizontal fascial defect was 4.8 cm, and the mean duration of surgery was 141 min. In total, 78 (71.6%) patients were discharged on the day of surgery, and factors associated with overnight stay were increasing fascial defect area, longer duration of surgery, and transverse abdominis release. There was no association between post-operative pain and overnight hospital stay. The mean EuraHS score decreased significantly from 38.4 to 6.4 (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: An ERAS protocol after RVHR was associated with a high rate of outpatient procedures with low patient-reported pain levels.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The robotic platform is widely implemented; however, evidence evaluating outcomes of robotic ventral hernia repair is still lacking. The aim of the study was to evaluate the short-term outcomes after open and robot-assisted repair of primary ventral and incisional hernias. METHODS: Nationwide register-based cohort study with data from the Danish Ventral Hernia Database and the National Danish Patients Registry was from January 1, 2017 to August 22, 2022. Robot-assisted ventral hernia repairs were propensity score matched 1:3 with open repairs according to the confounding variables defect size, Charlson comorbidity index score, and age. Logistic regression analyses were performed for factors associated with length of stay > 2 days, readmission, and reoperation within 90 days. RESULTS: A total of 528 and 1521 patients underwent robot-assisted and open repair, respectively. The mean length of hospital stay in days was 0.5 versus 2.1 for robot-assisted and open approach, respectively (P < 0.001) and open approach was correlated with risk of length of stay > 2 days (OR 23.25, CI 13.80-39.17, P < 0.001). The incidence of readmission within 90 days of discharge was significantly lower after robot-assisted repair compared to open approach (6.2% vs. 12.1%, P < 0.001). Open approach was independently associated with increased risk of readmission (OR 21.43, CI 13.28-39.17, P = 0.005, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Robot-assisted ventral hernia repair is safe and feasible and associated with shorter length of stay and decreased risk of readmission compared with open ventral hernia repair.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Burst abdomen is a serious complication requiring immediate surgical treatment. This study aimed to investigate the association between rectus diastasis and burst abdomen in patients undergoing emergency midline laparotomy. METHODS: A single-center, retrospective, matched case-control study of patients undergoing emergency midline laparotomy from May 2016 to August 2021 was conducted. Cases (patients who suffered from burst abdomen) were matched 1:4 with controls based on age and sex. Rectus diastasis was evaluated on CT imaging and was defined as a distance of at least three centimeters between the rectus abdominis muscles, three centimeters above the umbilicus. Midline laparotomy aponeurosis closure was standardized during the study period, using a slowly absorbable suture, sutured continuously with small bites of five millimeters and a minimum suture-to-wound ratio of 4:1. The primary outcome was the association between rectus diastasis and burst abdomen, evaluated against other suspected risk factors including obesity, liver cirrhosis, previous laparotomy, midline hernias and active smoking in a multivariate analysis. RESULTS: A total of 465 patients were included in the study, with 93 cases matched to 372 controls. Eighty-four patients had rectus diastasis (35.5% cases vs. 13.7% controls; p = < 0.001). Multivariate analysis found rectus diastasis significantly associated with burst abdomen (OR 3.06, 95% CI 1.71-5.47; p = < 0.001). No other suspected risk factors showed a significant association with burst abdomen. CONCLUSION: Rectus diastasis was highly associated with an increased risk of burst abdomen after emergency midline laparotomy.

RESUMO

Aim: Women have the highest prevalence of epigastric hernia repair. Outcomes after epigastric hernia repair are rarely reported independently, although pathology and surgical techniques may be different than for other primary ventral hernias. The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term outcomes after epigastric hernia repairs in women on a nationwide basis. Methods: Nationwide cohort study from the Danish Hernia Database. Complete data from women undergoing elective epigastric hernia repair during a 12 years period (2007-2018) was extracted. A 100% follow-up was obtained by combining data from the National Civil Register. The primary outcome was operation for recurrence, secondary outcomes were readmission and operation for complications. Outcomes for open sutured repair, open mesh repair mesh, and laparoscopic repairs were compared. Results: In total, 3,031 women underwent elective epigastric hernia repair during the study period. Some 1,671 (55.1%) women underwent open sutured repair, 796 (26.3%) underwent open mesh repair, and 564 (18.6%) underwent laparoscopic repair. Follow-up was median 4.8 years. Operation for recurrence was higher after sutured repairs than after open mesh and laparoscopic repairs (7.7% vs. 3.3%, vs. 6.2%, p < 0.001). The risk of operation for complications was slightly higher after open mesh repair compared with sutured repair and laparoscopic repair (2.6% vs. 1.2%, vs. 2.0%, p = 0.032), with more operations for wound complications in the open mesh group (2.0%, p = 0.006). Conclusion: More than half of the women underwent a suture-based repair, although mesh repair reduces risk of recurrence. Open mesh repair had the lowest risk of recurrence, but on the expense of slightly increased risk of wound-related complications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Umbilical hernia is a common and potential serious condition in patients with cirrhosis. This systematic review evaluated the risks associated with emergency and elective hernia repair in patients with cirrhosis. METHODS: Systematic review of clinical trials identified through manual and electronic searches in several databases (last update November 2021). The primary random-effects meta-analyses evaluated mortality in patients with or without cirrhosis or following emergency versus elective repair. The quality of the evidence was assessed using GRADE and Newcastle Ottawa Scale. RESULTS: Thirteen prospective and 10 retrospective studies including a total of 3229 patients were included. The evidence was graded as very low quality for all outcomes (mortality and postoperative complications within 90 days). In total 191 patients (6%) died after undergoing umbilical hernia repair. Patients with cirrhosis were more than eight times as likely to die after surgery compared with patients without cirrhosis [OR = 8.50, 95% CI (1.91-37.86)] corresponding to 69 more deaths/1000 patients. Among patients with cirrhosis, mortality was higher after emergency versus elective repair [OR = 2.67, 95% CI (1.87-3.97)] corresponding to 52 more deaths/1000 patients. Postoperative complications were more common in patients with cirrhosis compared with patients without cirrhosis. CONCLUSION: Patients with cirrhosis undergoing emergency umbilical hernia repair have a considerably increased risk of death and severe complications. Accordingly, additional evidence is needed to evaluate methods that would allow elective umbilical hernia repair in patients with cirrhosis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether an open or laparoscopic approach results in the best outcomes for repair of umbilical and epigastric hernias. The aim of the study was to evaluate the rates of 90-day readmission and reoperation for complication, together with rate of operation for recurrence after either open or laparoscopic mesh repair for primary umbilical or epigastric hernias with defect widths above 1 cm. METHODS: A merge of data between the Danish Hernia Database and the National Patient Registry provided data from 2007 to 2018 on perioperative information, 90-day readmission, 90-day reoperation for complication, and long-term operation for hernia recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 6855 patients were included, of whom 4106 (59.9%) and 2749 (40.1%) patients had an open or laparoscopic repair, respectively. There were significantly more patients readmitted with a superficial surgical site infection 2.5% (102/4106) after open repair compared with laparoscopic repair (0.5% (15/2749), P < 0.001. The 90-day reoperation rate for complications was significantly higher for open repairs 5.0% (205/4106) compared with laparoscopic repairs 2.7% (75/2749), P < 0.001. The incidence of a reoperation for a severe condition was significantly increased after laparoscopic repair 1.5% (41/2749) compared with open repair 0.8% (34/4106), P = 0.010. The 4-year cumulative incidence of operation for hernia recurrence was 3.5% after open and 4.2% after laparoscopic repairs, P = 0.302. CONCLUSIONS: Recurrence rates were comparable between open and laparoscopic repair of umbilical and epigastric hernias. Open repair was associated with a significantly higher rate of readmission and reoperation due to surgical site infection, whereas the rate of reoperation due to a severe complication was significantly higher after laparoscopic repair.

RESUMO

Background and aims: The European and Americas Hernia Society's (EHS and AHS) Guidelines on the treatment of primary midline ventral hernias were launched to guide surgeons. As a part of a dissemination plan of the guideline, this study aimed to evaluate the level of consensus between recommendations and the current surgical practices of EHS and AHS members before implementation. Material and methods: A questionnaire was constructed including questions on the current practice of the members and nine selected key recommendations from the guidelines. An on-stage consensus voting was performed at the EHS Congress in Hamburg 2019 followed by a SurveyMonkey sent to all EHS and AHS members. Consensus with a recommendation was defined as an agreement of ≥70%. Results: A total of 178 votes were collected in Hamburg. A further 499/1,754 (28.4%) of EHS and 150/1,100 (13.6%) of AHS members participated in the SurveyMonkey. A consensus was reached for 7/9 (78%) of the recommendations. The two recommendations that did not reach consensus were on indication and the technique used for laparoscopic repair. In current practice, more AHS participants used a preformed patch; 50.7% (76/150) compared with EHS participants 32.1% (160/499), p < 0.001. Conclusion: A consensus was achieved for most recommendations given by the new guideline for the treatment of umbilical and epigastric hernias. Recommendations that did not reach consensus were on indication and technique for laparoscopic repair, which may reflect the lack of evidence on these topics.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The definition, classification and management of rectus diastasis (RD) are controversial in the literature and a variety of different surgical treatments have been described. This article reports on the European Hernia Society (EHS) Clinical Practice Guideline for RD. METHOD: The Guideline group consisted of eight surgeons. The Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach and the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) instrument were used. A systematic literature search was done in November 2018 and updated in November 2019 and October 2020. Nine Key Questions (KQs) were formulated. RESULTS: Literature reporting on the definition, classification, symptoms, outcomes and treatments was limited in quality, leading to weak recommendations for the majority of the KQs. The main recommendation is to define RD as a separation between rectus muscles wider than 2 cm. A new classification system is suggested based on the width of muscle separation, postpregnancy status and whether or not there is a concomitant hernia. Impaired body image and core instability appear to be the most relevant symptoms. Physiotherapy may be considered before surgical management. It is suggested to use linea alba plication in patients without concomitant hernia and a mesh-based repair of RD with concomitant midline hernias. CONCLUSION: RD should be defined as a separation of rectus muscles wider than 2 cm and a new classification system is suggested.


The management of RD is controversial. These guidelines are intended to provide a consensus about the exact definition, the correct way of measurement and diagnosis, a classification system, the main symptoms, and a systematic review of non-surgical and surgical treatments to achieve the best results for patients with this pathology. The main recommendation is to define RD as a separation between rectus muscles wider than 2 cm. A new classification system is proposed. It is suggested to use linea alba plication in patients without concomitant hernia and a mesh-based repair of RD in those with concomitant midline hernias.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although laparoscopic repair of incisional hernias decreases the incidence of wound complications compared with open repair, there has been rising concern related to intraperitoneal mesh placement. The aim of this study was to examine outcomes after open or laparoscopic elective incisional hernia mesh repair on a nationwide basis. METHODS: This study analysed merged data from the Danish Hernia Database and the National Patient Registry on perioperative information, 90-day readmission, 90-day reoperation for complication, and long-term operation for hernia recurrence among patients who underwent primary repair of an incisional hernia between 2007 and 2018. RESULTS: A total of 3090 (57.5 per cent) and 2288 (42.5 per cent) patients had surgery by a laparoscopic and open approach respectively. The defect was closed in 865 of 3090 laparoscopic procedures (28.0 per cent). The median follow-up time was 4.0 (i.q.r. 1.8-6.8) years. Rates of readmission (502 of 3090 (16.2 per cent) versus 442 of 2288 (19.3 per cent); P = 0.003) and reoperation for complication (216 of 3090 (7.0 per cent) versus 288 of 2288 (12.5 per cent); P < 0.001) were significantly lower for laparoscopic than open repairs. Reoperation for bowel obstruction or bowel resection was twice as common after laparoscopic repair compared with open repair (20 of 3090 (0.6 per cent) versus 6 of 2288 (0.3 per cent); P = 0.044). Patients were significantly less likely to undergo repair of recurrence following laparoscopic compared with open repair of defect widths 2-6 cm (P = 0.002). CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic intraperitoneal mesh repair for incisional hernia should still be considered for fascial defects between 2 and 6 cm, because of decreased rates of early complications and repair of hernia recurrence compared with open repair.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Incisional hernia is common after abdominal surgery. Watchful waiting carries the risk of incarceration and a need for emergency intervention. The aim of this study was to examine the risk of postoperative complications after emergency versus elective incisional hernia repair. METHODS: Patients above 18 years of age undergoing open incisional hernia repair in Denmark in 2017-2018 were identified in the Danish Ventral Hernia Database. Patients were grouped according to elective or emergency hernia repair. The primary outcome was postoperative complications requiring operative intervention within 90 days, and the secondary outcome was postoperative length of stay. RESULTS: We included 1050 patients, of whom 882 were admitted for elective and 168 for emergency operation. Patients undergoing emergency repair were older (64.7 years vs 59.2 years, p < 0.001), more often smokers (25.8% vs 13.6%, p = 0.003), and more often had a Charlson comorbidity score ⩾2 (26.8% vs 19.2%, p = 0.005) compared to patients undergoing elective repair. In a multivariate regression analysis, emergency compared to elective operation (OR = 2.71, 95% CI = 1.4-5.25, p = 0.003) and retromuscular compared to onlay mesh placement (OR = 2.14, 95% CI = 1.08-4.24, p = 0.013) were factors significantly associated with increased risk of postoperative complications. In a subgroup analysis including only emergency repairs, risk of complications after retromuscular mesh placement was even higher (OR = 10.12, 95% CI = 1.81-56.68, p = 0.008). CONCLUSION: Emergency incisional hernia repair was associated with increased risk of postoperative complications and this risk was accentuated with retromuscular mesh placement. The use of retromuscular mesh in the emergency setting should be avoided, and the abdominal wall could either be closed by sutures or additional onlay mesh.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Rare locations of hernias, as well as primary ventral hernias under certain circumstances (cirrhosis, dialysis, rectus diastasis, subsequent pregnancy), might be technically challenging. The aim was to identify situations where the treatment strategy might deviate from routine management. METHODS: The guideline group consisted of surgeons from the European and Americas Hernia Societies. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used in formulating the recommendations. The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) critical appraisal checklists were used to evaluate the quality of full-text papers. A systematic literature search was performed on 1 May 2018 and updated 1 February 2019. The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) instrument was followed. RESULTS: Literature was limited in quantity and quality. A majority of the recommendations were graded as weak, based on low quality of evidence. In patients with cirrhosis or on dialysis, a preperitoneal mesh repair is suggested. Subsequent pregnancy is a risk factor for recurrence. Repair should be postponed until after the last pregnancy. For patients with a concomitant rectus diastasis or those with a Spigelian or lumbar hernia, no recommendation could be made for treatment strategy owing to lack of evidence. CONCLUSION: This is the first European and American guideline on the treatment of umbilical and epigastric hernias in patients with special conditions, including Spigelian and lumbar hernias. All recommendations were weak owing to a lack of evidence. Further studies are needed on patients with rectus diastasis, Spigelian and lumbar hernias.


ANTECEDENTES: Las hernias de localización rara, así como las hernias ventrales primarias en determinadas circunstancias (cirrosis, diálisis, diástasis de recto, tras un embarazo) pueden ser complejas desde el punto de vista técnico. El objetivo fue identificar situaciones en las que la estrategia de tratamiento pudiera ser diferente del tratamiento habitual. MÉTODOS: Esta guía fue elaborada por cirujanos de las sociedades europeas y americana de hernia (European Hernia Society, EHS y American Hernia Society, AHS). La búsqueda sistemática de la literatura se efectuó el 1 de mayo de 2018 y se actualizó el 1 de febrero de 2019. Para evaluar la calidad de los artículos completos seleccionados se utilizó la normativa SIGN (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network). Las recomendaciones formuladas siguieron la metodología GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) y la redacción de la guía siguió las normas AGREE (Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation). RESULTADOS: La literatura es limitada en cantidad y calidad. La mayoría de las recomendaciones se calificaron como débiles en función de la baja calidad de la evidencia. En pacientes con cirrosis o en diálisis, se sugiere una reparación con malla preperitoneal. Un embarazo tras la reparación de una hernia es un factor de riesgo de recidiva. La reparación debería posponerse hasta después del último embarazo. Debido a la falta de evidencia no se pudo hacer ninguna recomendación para la reparación de hernias en pacientes con diástasis de recto concomitante o con hernias de Spigel o lumbares. CONCLUSIÓN: Esta es la primera guía europea y americana del tratamiento de hernias umbilicales y epigástricas en pacientes con patologías especiales, incluyendo las hernias de Spigel y lumbares. Todas las recomendaciones fueron débiles debido a la falta de evidencia. Se necesitan más estudios en pacientes con diástasis de recto, hernias de Spigel y lumbares.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Umbilical and epigastric hernia repairs are frequently performed surgical procedures with an expected low complication rate. Nevertheless, the optimal method of repair with best short- and long-term outcomes remains debatable. The aim was to develop guidelines for the treatment of umbilical and epigastric hernias. METHODS: The guideline group consisted of surgeons from Europe and North America including members from the European Hernia Society and the Americas Hernia Society. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach, the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) critical appraisal checklists, and the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) instrument were used. A systematic literature search was done on 1 May 2018, and updated on 1 February 2019. RESULTS: Literature reporting specifically on umbilical and epigastric hernias was limited in quantity and quality, resulting in a majority of the recommendations being graded as weak, based on low-quality evidence. The main recommendation was to use mesh for repair of umbilical and epigastric hernias to reduce the recurrence rate. Most umbilical and epigastric hernias may be repaired by an open approach with a preperitoneal flat mesh. A laparoscopic approach may be considered if the hernia defect is large, or if the patient has an increased risk of wound morbidity. CONCLUSION: This is the first European and American guideline on the treatment of umbilical and epigastric hernias. It is recommended that symptomatic umbilical and epigastric hernias are repaired by an open approach with a preperitoneal flat mesh.


ANTECEDENTES: La reparación de las hernias umbilicales y epigástricas es un procedimiento quirúrgico frecuente con una tasa esperada de complicaciones baja. Sin embargo, sigue en discusión cuál es el mejor método de reparación óptimo para obtener los mejores resultados a corto y a largo plazo. El objetivo del estudio fue desarrollar una guía para el tratamiento de las hernias umbilicales y epigástricas. MÉTODOS: El grupo para la elaboración de la guía estuvo formado por cirujanos europeos y norteamericanos junto con miembros de la European Hernia Society (EHS) y de la America's Hernia Society (AHS). Para elaborar la guía, se siguieron las recomendaciones GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation), SIGN (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network) y AGREE (Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation). Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de la literatura el 1 de mayo de 2018, que luego se actualizó el 1 de febrero de 2019. RESULTADOS: Los trabajos dedicados de forma específica a las hernias umbilicales y epigástricas eran muy limitados en cantidad y calidad, por lo que la mayoría de las recomendaciones que se extrajeron fueron calificadas como débiles y basadas en una baja calidad de la evidencia. La recomendación principal era utilizar una malla en la reparación de las hernias umbilicales y epigástricas para reducir la tasa de recidiva. La mayoría de las hernias umbilicales y epigástricas pueden repararse mediante un abordaje abierto con una malla plana preperitoneal. Se puede considerar el abordaje laparoscópico si el defecto de la hernia es grande o si el paciente tiene un riesgo aumentado de morbilidad de la herida. CONCLUSIÓN: Esta es la primera guía europea y americana del tratamiento de las hernias umbilicales y epigástricas. Se sugiere reparar las hernias sintomáticas umbilicales y epigástricas mediante un abordaje abierto con una malla plana preperitoneal.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The number of robot-assisted hernia repairs is increasing, but the potential benefits have not been well described. The aim of this study was to evaluate the available literature reporting on outcomes after robot-assisted hernia repairs. METHODS: This is a qualitative review and meta-analysis of papers evaluating short-term outcomes after inguinal or ventral robot-assisted hernia repair compared with either open or laparoscopic approach. The primary outcome was postoperative complications and secondary outcomes were duration of surgery, postoperative length of stay and financial costs. RESULTS: Fifteen studies were included. Postoperative complications were significantly decreased after robot-assisted inguinal hernia repair compared with open repair. There were no differences in complications between robot-assisted and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. For ventral hernia repair, sutured closure of the defect, retromuscular mesh placement and transversus abdominis release is feasible when using the robot. Length of stay was decreased by a mean of 3 days for robot-assisted repairs compared with open approach. There were no differences in postoperative complications and the operative time was significantly longer for robot-assisted ventral hernia repair compared with laparoscopic or open approach. CONCLUSIONS: For ventral hernias that would normally require an open procedure, a robot-assisted repair may be a good option, as the use of a minimally invasive approach for these procedures decreases length of stay significantly. For inguinal hernias, the benefit of the robot is questionable. Randomized controlled trials and prospective studies are needed.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Hernia formation is associated with alterations of collagen metabolism. Collagen synthesis and degradation cause a systemic release of products, which are measurable in serum. Recently, we reported changes in type V and IV collagen metabolisms in patients with inguinal and incisional hernia. The aim of this study was to determine if the altered collagen metabolism was persistent after hernia repair. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients who had undergone repairs for inguinal hernia (n = 11) or for incisional hernia (n = 17) were included in this study. Patients who had undergone elective cholecystectomy served as controls (n = 10). Whole venous blood was collected 35-55 months after operation. Biomarkers for type V collagen synthesis (Pro-C5) and degradation (C5M) and those for type IV collagen synthesis (P4NP) and degradation (C4M2) were measured by a solid-phase competitive assay. RESULTS: The turnover of type V collagen (Pro-C5/C5M) was slightly higher postoperatively when compared to preoperatively in the inguinal hernia group (P = 0.034). In addition, the results revealed a postoperatively lower type V collagen turnover level in the inguinal hernia group compared to controls (P = 0.012). In the incisional hernia group, the type V collagen turnover was higher after hernia repair (P = 0.004) and the postoperative turnover level was not different from the control group (P = 0.973). CONCLUSION: Patients with an inguinal hernia demonstrated a systemic and persistent type V collagen turnover alteration. This imbalance of the collagen metabolism may be involved in the development of inguinal hernias.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate closure materials and suture techniques for emergency and elective laparotomies. The primary outcome was incisional hernia after 12 months, and the secondary outcomes were burst abdomen and surgical site infection. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted until September 2017. The quality of the RCTs was evaluated by at least 3 assessors using critical appraisal checklists. Meta-analyses were performed. RESULTS: A total of 23 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. There was no evidence from RCTs using the same suture technique in both study arms that any suture material (fast-absorbable/slowly absorbable/non-absorbable) is superior in reducing incisional hernias. There is no evidence that continuous suturing is superior in reducing incisional hernias compared to interrupted suturing. When using a slowly absorbable suture for continuous suturing in elective midline closure, the small bites technique results in significantly less incisional hernias than a large bites technique (OR 0.41; 95% CI 0.19, 0.86). CONCLUSIONS: There is no high-quality evidence available concerning the best suture material or technique to reduce incisional hernia rate when closing a laparotomy. When using a slowly absorbable suture and a continuous suturing technique with small tissue bites, the incisional hernia rate is significantly reduced compared with a large bites technique.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Surgical site infection (SSI) is a frequent complication of abdominal surgery causing increased morbidity. Triclosan-coated sutures are recommended to reduce SSI. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing the rate of SSI in abdominal surgery when using triclosan-coated or uncoated sutures for fascial closure. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted using Medline, EMBASE, the Cochrane library, CINAHL, Scopus and Web of Science including publications until August 2017. The quality of the RCTs was evaluated using critical appraisal checklists from SIGN. Meta-analyses and trial sequential analysis were performed with Review Manager v5.3 and TSA software, respectively. RESULTS: Eight RCTs on abdominal wall closure were included in the meta-analysis. In an overall comparison including both triclosan-coated Vicryl and PDS sutures for fascial closure, triclosan-coated sutures were superior in reducing the rate of SSI (OR 0.67; 0.46-0.98). When evaluating PDS sutures separately, there was no effect of triclosan-coating on the rate of SSI (OR 0.85; 0.61-1.17). Trial sequential analysis showed that the required information size (RIS) of 797 patients for triclosan-coated Vicryl sutures was almost reached with an accrued information size (AIS) of 795 patients. For triclosan-coated PDS sutures an AIS of 2707 patients was obtained, but the RIS was estimated to be 18,693 patients. CONCLUSION: Triclosan-coated Vicryl sutures for abdominal fascial closure decrease the risk of SSI significantly and based on the trial sequential analysis further RCTs will not change that outcome. There was no effect on SSI rate with the use of triclosan-coated PDS sutures for abdominal fascial closure, and it is unknown whether additional RCTs will change that.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Colonic diverticulosis and abdominal wall hernia are common pathologies. Studies have suggested that connective tissue alterations play a role in the formation of both diverticulosis and abdominal wall hernia. The aim of this cohort study was to evaluate the association between diverticulosis and abdominal wall hernia in a large cohort of patients undergoing colonoscopy. METHODS: All consecutive patients who underwent colonoscopy between 2001 and 2013 at Bispebjerg Hospital were eligible for inclusion. The endoscopists prospectively registered the findings of diverticulosis in a database. Data were merged with the Danish Hernia Database identifying patients who underwent groin and ventral hernia repair. Calculated odds ratios (ORs) were used to describe the extent of association and multivariable logistic regression models were utilized to adjust for age and gender. RESULTS: A total of 13,855 patients were included, 3685 (26.6%) of whom were diagnosed with diverticulosis. Diverticulosis was independently associated with direct inguinal, OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.00-1.76, P = 0.049, and umbilical/epigastric hernia repair, OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.16-2.63, P = 0.008. CONCLUSIONS: Colonic diverticulosis was associated with direct inguinal and umbilical/epigastric hernia repair suggesting that connective tissue alterations, herniosis, could be a common etiologic factor of colonic diverticulosis and these abdominal wall hernias.
