Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
One-year follow-up after incisional hernia treatment: results of a prospective randomized study.
The incidence of incisional hernia after midline laparotomies ranges from 10 to 20%. The recurrence rate after this hernia surgery varies from 25 to 52% using autogenous tissue. The use of prosthetic meshes can decrease the postoperative hernia recurrence by up to 10%. The aim of this prospective randomized clinical study was to analyze and compare the results of three different incisional hernia surgical techniques. ⋯ Mesh repair is the first-choice technique for incisional hernia treatment. The results of the "Sublay" technique are better than the "Onlay" technique.
