The modified Albanese technique with triple protesis: a functional anatomo option for complex eventrations

Abstract

Introduction: Closing the defect, medializing the rectum and returning the functional capacity of the abdomen to the eventual patient are the premises to be fulfilled in the treatment of complex eventrations. Objective: To evaluate the technique of Albanese modified with tripe prostheses in the treatment of complex defects of the abdominal wall. Material and method: A series of patients were included in which the Albanese technique was performed with triple prostheses between October 2016 and October 2019, with a minimum follow-up of 6 months. Demographic and clinical surgical variables were analyzed. Results: 20 eventroplasty was performed with the modified Albanese technique with triple prostheses. 17 patients were men and in 4 cases the intestinal transit was restored. Conclusions: Although the procedure is complex and requires thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the abdominal wall, it can be reproduced and presented as an adequate solution to achieve the functional anatomical restoration of the abdominal wall.
