Abstract
Purpose: this systematic review aims to classify and summarize the characteristics and outcomes of the different laparoendoscopic extraperitoneal approaches for the repair of ventral hernias and diastasis recti described in the last 10 years.
Methods: a literature search was performed by two reviewers in December 2023 including articles from January 2013, 01 to December 2023, 15. The techniques were selected according to the surgical access site (anterior or posterior to the rectus sheath), the access type (laparoendoscopic, single incision laparoscopic, mini or less open), the main space used to repair the defect (subcutaneous or retromuscular) and the mesh place (onlay, sublay-retromuscular or sublay-preperitoneal) and classified as anterior or posterior approaches.
Results: the literature search retrieved 1755 results and 27 articles were included in the study. The studies included 1874 patients, the mean age ranged from 37.8 to 60.2 years. The access site was anterior in 16 cases and posterior in 11 cases. The mesh was positioned onlay in 13 cases and sublay in 13 cases, with only one study using no mesh. Complications were: seroma, ranging from 0.8 to 81%, followed by skin complications (leak, ischemia, necrosis) from 0.8 to 6.4%, surgical site infections and bleeding. Recurrences ranged from 0% to 12,5%, with a mean follow-up from 1 to 24 months.
Conclusion: this systematic review confirms the presence of several new minimally invasive extraperitoneal techniques for the repair of abdominal wall defects, with different advantages and disadvantages. Further studies, with more extensive follow-up data and wider patient groups, are necessary to define specific indications for each technique.
期刊介绍:
Hernia was founded in 1997 by Jean P. Chevrel with the purpose of promoting clinical studies and basic research as they apply to groin hernias and the abdominal wall . Since that time, a true revolution in the field of hernia studies has transformed the field from a ”simple” disease to one that is very specialized. While the majority of surgeries for primary inguinal and abdominal wall hernia are performed in hospitals worldwide, complex situations such as multi recurrences, complications, abdominal wall reconstructions and others are being studied and treated in specialist centers. As a result, major institutions and societies are creating specific parameters and criteria to better address the complexities of hernia surgery.
Hernia is a journal written by surgeons who have made abdominal wall surgery their specific field of interest, but we will consider publishing content from any surgeon who wishes to improve the science of this field. The Journal aims to ensure that hernia surgery is safer and easier for surgeons as well as patients, and provides a forum to all surgeons in the exchange of new ideas, results, and important research that is the basis of professional activity.
