Proper mesh overlap is a key determinant in hernia recurrence following laparoscopic ventral and incisional hernia repair

摘要: Ventral hernia can be repaired through either an open or laparoscopic approach. A major problem following repair is recurrence, and the technique used for influences rate of recurrence. Data from individual studies show that area mesh overlap during correlates with but no meta-analyses have previously been published. The aim this review was to perform a meta-analysis determine if recurrence after ventral incisional repair. Studies 1990 2013 in procedures, reported both beyond fascial defect rate, were assessed inclusion final analysis. pooled estimation combined overall risk calculated according random effect model. total 95 articles, 111 study populations, met all criteria included For results showed correlation between ( 5 cm, incidence 0.060). In decreased increasing 0.014). Risk decreases laparoscopic, not open, procedures
