Abstract
Purpose: The study aim was to assess the impact of clinically significant weight loss (CSWL; ≥5% weight reduction) on postoperative complications following abdominal wall reconstruction with the component separation technique (CST).
Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent open ventral hernia repair (VHR) with CST from November 2008 to January 2022 was performed. Cohorts were stratified by presence of CSWL from baseline weight at preoperative consultation.
Results: Of 180 total patients, 40 (22.2%) achieved CSWL prior to VHR. Mean age was 59.6 ± 11.2 years. Patients in the CSWL cohort represented a higher average body mass index (BMI) (33.6 vs. 31.7 kg/m2, p = 0.076), and were obese more frequently (80.0% vs. 56.4%, p = 0.007). The CSWL cohort had a higher proportion of patients in Ventral Hernia Working Group (VHWG) classification II (82.5% vs. 63.6%) while the non-CSWL cohort had more VHWG classification III/IV (20.0% vs. 10.0%, p = 0.078). Mean follow-up duration was 6.1 ± 13.4 months. Complications, including 30- and 90-day surgical site occurrence (SSO), return to operating room, readmission, and hernia recurrence (CSWL: 5.0% vs. non-CWL 1.4%, p = 0.179), were comparable between cohorts. BMI was an independent predictor of any complication (OR 1.07, p = 0.044) and 90-day SSO (OR 1.10, p = 0.043).
Conclusion: Achievement of CSWL prior to open VHR utilizing CST results in similar post-reconstruction outcomes to patients who maintained a comparable BMI at baseline. Higher day-of-surgery BMI was more consequential to postoperative complications than percent weight loss.
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.
