Use of tissue expanders in the repair of complex abdominal wall defects

Background/Purpose

Closure of abdominal wall defects in children poses a challenge for pediatric surgeons. We describe a technique using tissue expanders placed either intraperitoneally or in the abdominal wall to aid in the reconstruction of a variety of complex abdominal wall defects.

Methods

The tissue expanders are inserted under general anesthesia. Initial expansion is done in the operating room with attention to peak airway pressure, urine output, and end-tidal carbon dioxide. The expanders are inflated in the outpatient setting via percutaneous access until the calculated inflation volume is achieved. They are then removed; and definitive closure is accomplished using a combination of native tissue flaps, abdominal component separation techniques, biomaterials, and synthetic material.

Results

Six children underwent tissue expansion for treatment of abdominal wall defects (omphalocele, n = 3), trauma (n = 1), and thoracopagus twins (n = 1 pair). One to 4 expanders were used per patient, with all having a successful reconstruction of their abdominal walls. Two to 3 operations were required to restore abdominal domain and consisted of expander insertion, removal with reconstruction, and possible revision of the reconstruction.

Conclusions

Tissue expanders possess a broad range of applications for abdominal wall reconstruction and can be used in patients of all ages.     

内镜组织结构分离技术治疗腹壁缺损

如何有效进行复杂腹壁缺损的修复与重建一直是困扰腹壁外科医师的一个难题，传统的组织结构分离技术虽然能够通过自体组织推进实现腹壁缺损的功能性修复，但其广泛皮瓣分离所导致的切口并发症是其重要不足。而内镜组织结构分离技术由于可保护腹壁穿支血管，因此具有并发症少、恢复快、术后住院时间短的优点。作为一种自体组织修复的重要手段，内镜组织结构分离技术必将在腹壁缺损修复重建中发挥越来越重要的作用。

The use of three different mesh materials in the treatment of abdominal wall defects

Abstract Abstract. Various prosthetic materials have been proposed for the repair of abdominal wall defects. These materials offer tension-free repair and significantly lower recurrence rate. Their respective properties are related to such complications as seroma, infection, fistula formation, intestinal adhesions and removal. We compared the final outcome in treating abdominal wall defects in 56 patients with three different prosthetic materials: conventional polypropylene in a preperitoneal location, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene mesh, and hydrophilic membrane coated polyester mesh in an intraperitoneal location. The hydrophilic coated polyester group exhibited the lowest complication rate and the polypropylene group the highest. Electronic Publication     

Laparoscopic repair of traumatic abdominal wall hernia from handlebar injury

A 14-year-old boy was seen at an outside hospital after falling over the handlebar of his bicycle and was discharged home. He was subsequently seen in our emergency department with complaints of persistent abdominal pain. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed disruption of the muscles of the upper right abdominal wall containing the hepatic flexure of the colon, with a small amount of intraperitoneal free fluid noted. The patient underwent laparoscopic exploration using 3 ports (2-5 mm and 1-12 mm) and 2 separate stab incisions. The traumatic abdominal wall hernia was repaired with interrupted sutures placed with an ENDO CLOSE (Covidien, Mansfield, MA) device, and a mesenteric defect in the colon was approximated with intracorporeal sutures. The trocar sites were sutured closed. The patient recovered well and was discharged home. Follow-up examination revealed no abdominal wall defect and resolution of his symptoms.Laparoscopic repair of a traumatic abdominal wall defect and exploratory laparoscopy after trauma is feasible and safe in the pediatric patient. It should be considered as an alternative approach with potentially less morbidity than an exploratory laparotomy for handlebar injuries in a stable patient.

Partially absorbable meshes for hernia repair offer advantages over nonabsorbable meshes

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to establish whether new prosthetic materials with absorbable components, designed to reduce the amount of foreign material in abdominal wall repair, offer advantages over the conventional polypropylene meshes. METHODS: Seven x 5 cm defects created in the anterior abdominal wall of New Zealand white rabbits were repaired by using a nonabsorbable polypropylene prosthesis (Surgipro; Tyco, Barcelona, Spain) or 1 of 2 partially absorbable prostheses available on the market (Vypro II and Ultrapro; Johnson & Johnson, St. Stevens-Woluwe, Belgium). At 14 and 90 days after surgery, tissue/prosthesis specimens were subjected to histological studies, biomechanical strength tests, and shrinkage evaluation. RESULTS: At 90 days, the absorbable filaments of Vypro II had been completely reabsorbed, whereas Ultrapro only showed signs of biodegradation in a few zones. Host tissue infiltration and collagen I deposition in the 3 reticular meshes was optimal. Macrophage counts, mesh shrinkage, and biomechanical resistance values were similar. CONCLUSIONS: Partially absorbable prostheses perform as well as the standard polypropylene mesh and have the benefit that less foreign material remains in the recipient, without compromising mechanical resistance.     

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the repair of potentially contaminated and contaminated abdominal wall defects

Background

Repair of contaminated abdominal wall defects entails the dilemma of choosing between synthetic material, with its presumed risk of surgical site complications, and biologic material, a costly alternative with questionable durability.

Data sources

Thirty-two studies published between January 1990 and June 2015 on repair of (potentially) contaminated hernias with ≥25 patients were reviewed. Fifteen studies solely described hernia repair with biologic mesh, 6 nonabsorbable synthetic meshes, and 11 described various techniques. Surgical site complications and hernia recurrence rates were evaluated per degree of contamination and mesh type by calculating pooled proportions.

Conclusions

Analysis showed no benefit of biologic over synthetic mesh for repair of potentially contaminated hernias with comparable surgical site complication rates and a hernia recurrence rate of 9% for biologic and 9% for synthetic repair. Biologic mesh repair of contaminated defects showed considerable higher rates of surgical site complications and a hernia recurrence rate of 30%. As only 1 study on synthetic repair of contaminated hernias was available, surgical decision making in the approach of contaminated abdominal wall defects is hampered.     

Reconstruction of the abdominal wall for incisional hernia repair

BACKGROUND: Abdominal wall reconstruction with mobilization of autologous tissue has evolved as a reliable option for patients with incisional hernias. METHODS: With the aim of evaluating morbidity and recurrence rates in patients who underwent abdominal wall reconstruction for incisional hernia repair, we retrospectively reviewed the charts of 188 patients treated between 1996 and 2003. RESULTS: Primary approximation of the fascial defect was achieved in 77% and was reinforced by either mesh placement or rectus muscle advancement. The remaining 23% were reconstructed either by mesh placement, components separation, or distant flap mobilization. Median follow-up was 15 months. Overall morbidity rate was 38%; recurrence rate was 13%. Dimensions of the hernia and intraoperative enterotomies were associated with postoperative complications. Lack of complete restoration of the myofascial abdominal wall continuity was associated with recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with incisional hernias, techniques involving autologous tissue mobilization are safe and associated with low recurrence rates.     

The external oblique muscle flap technique for the reconstruction of abdominal wall defects

PurposeSeveral modifications to the anterior component separation technique (ACST) have been reported to facilitate the closure of abdominal wall defects. In this study, the external oblique (EO) muscle flap for modified ACST during major abdominal wall defect reconstructions has been described.MethodsA retrospective review of consecutive patients undergoing modified ACST was conducted. The clinical data were collected and retrospectively analyzed.ResultsAmong the 36 patients admitted to our hospital from December 2014 to December 2020, 9 cases had rectus abdominis tumors, 1 case had rectus abdominis trauma, and 26 cases had incisional hernias. The average age was 61.17 ± 13.76 years, and the mean BMI was 24.25 ± 3.18 kg/m². The average width of the defect was 14.33 ± 2.90 cm. Unilateral EO muscle flap technique was used to reconstruct the abdominal wall. 3 cases of surgical site infection (8.3%), 4 cases of grade III or IV seroma (11.1%) and 2 cases of intestinal obstruction (5.5%)were reported postoperatively. Ischemic necrosis of the abdominal EO muscle flap, incision dehiscence, intestinal fistula, or other complications were not observed. 1 case of incisional hernia recurrence (2.8%) was reported. Recurrence of tumors or abdominal wall bulging were not noted during the follow-up period of 32.53 ± 14.21 months.ConclutionsThe EO muscle flap technique is associated with low postoperative morbidity and recurrence rate, which approves it a reliable technique for selected groups of patients. Further research are needed to confirm the effectiveness of this technique.     

Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal approach to place a polypropylene mesh on the abdominal wall: an experimental swine model of a technique that can be used for incisional hernia repair

Background The placement of intraabdominal polypropylene mesh entails risks of adhesions and fistulas that can be avoided by preperitoneal placement.Methods This comparative, open, experimental, prospective, randomized, and transversal study randomized pigs into two groups of 11 each for intraperitoneal (IPOM) or preperitoneal (TAPP) polypropylene mesh placement by laparoscopy. Diagnostic laparoscopy and tissue en-bloc resection was performed 28 days postoperatively for histopathologic analysis.Results The following data were observed for the two study groups: surgical time (IPOM: 35.73 ± 4.22 min; TAPP: 58.09 ± 6.28 min; p = <0.0001); adhesions (IPOM: 81.81%; TAPP: 27.27%; p = 0.032), grade III for IPOM and grade II for TAPP (p = 0.001); and interloop adhesions (IPOM: 81.81%; TAPP: 9.09%; p = 0.003). No fistulas were found in either group. The TAPP procedure showed better integration of mesh, without lesion to abdominal organs. Two complications, occurred with IPOM, and one with TAPP (p = 1.0, not significant).Conclusions The perperitoneal technique requires more time, but has fewer adhesions and less intraabdominal inflammatory response. It is a feasible technique that may diminish risks in the laparoscopic treatment of incisional hernias with polypropylene mesh.     

Giant pseudocyst of the anterior abdominal wall following mesh repair of incisional hernia: a rare complication managed laparoscopically.

Giant pseudocyst formation of the anterior abdominal wall, following on-lay polypropylene mesh repair for incisional hernia is an under reported complication. We report an unusual case of a 56-year-old female who underwent a polypropylene mesh repair of incisional hernia 2 years back. Subsequently she developed a giant pseudocyst of the anterior abdominal wall, which was occupying the whole of the abdomen from the xiphisternum to the pubic bone, and over both the flanks. Over a period of one year, the cyst had defied multiple attempts at aspiration. The patient underwent a laparoscopic drainage of the collection with piecemeal excision of the entire cyst wall. Histopathology of the cyst wall revealed necrotic material with intervening areas of hemorrhage. No epithelial lining was seen. There has been no recurrence in the two years of follow-up. Conclusion: giant pseudocyst of the anterior abdominal wall is a rare complication following mesh repair of an incisional hernia. Such pseudocysts can be managed successfully by laparoscopic procedures.     

Anterior abdominal wall ‘peritoneal recess’: cause for pseudoherniation of small bowel resulting in chronic abdominal pain

A middle-aged patient presented with intermittent chronic abdominal pain without any obvious cause. Computed tomography detected a hernia (presumed to be the cause of the patient’s symptoms) without any obvious lump on examination. A laparoscopy was performed to repair the hernia. This revealed a left-sided unilateral ‘peritoneal recess’ at the level of the arcuate line extending medial to the linea semilunaris. No extraperitoneal sac or defect was noted in the rectus sheath or in the muscle, nor were any contents present in the recess at the time of the laparoscopy. We believe the bowel was being trapped intermittently in this space, causing the abdominal symptoms.
