INTRODUCTION: Incisional hernia is a common late complication after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. We examined the outcome after prophylactic placement of a pre-peritoneal polypropylene mesh during abdominal closure in consecutive patients having elective AAA repair. REPORT: At least 30 months after surgery, 28 patients underwent clinical and ultrasound examination of their surgical wound for incisional hernias. Only one patient had a hernia in the original surgical scar. No patients had late mesh-related wound problems. DISCUSSION: Pre-peritoneal polypropylene mesh placement is a simple, safe and effective method to decrease the incidence of incisional hernia after AAA repair. 相似文献

Background: The literature provides no data on the incidence and operative management of incisional hernias developing after orthotopic liver transplantation. The use of high-dose immunosuppressive agents results in an appreciable delay in wound healing. There is thus a need for a procedure for the reconstruction of the abdominal wall for patients on immunosuppression. The aim of this retrospective study was to establish the incidence of incisional hernias and an analysis of the results after implantation of a polypropylene mesh in inlay–onlay technique after liver transplantation is given.Methods: The basis for the present retrospective investigations was a total of 207 liver transplantations carried out in 192 patients (15 re-transplantations). After performing tensiometry, a polypropylene mesh (Marlex) was implanted to close the hernias using the inlay/onlay technique or a direct closure of the fascia was done. All treated hernias were followed up for a median of 18 months.Results: Among 184 patients, 17 developed incisional hernias after primary direct closure of the abdominal wall, giving an incidence of 9%. In an additional 8 patients an incisional hernia was seen where an absorbable mesh was used to close the abdominal wall after liver transplantation. In addition, there were 25 incisional hernias after 207 liver transplantations (12%). One of 15 (7%) of the surgically repaired hernias with implantation of a polypropylene mesh (Marlex) developed a recurrence. All the 3 patients after direct apposition of the fascia without using a polypropylene mesh suffered a recurrence (3 of 3; 100%). Significant risk factors for developing an incisional hernia were the amount of ascites and the stay in the ICU after transplantation. Neither severe deep nor superficial wound infection nor bowel fistulas were observed after implantation of a inlay/onlay mesh.Conclusion: In patients after liver transplantation, the implantation of a polypropylene mesh proved to be an efficient and safe method of treating incisional hernias. Implantation of a mesh was not associated with an increased infection rate, despite the use of immunosuppression. In view of the high recurrence rate associated with primary closure, mesh implantation should be given preference. 相似文献

PURPOSE: We evaluate the incidence of incisional hernia after kidney transplantation, predisposing factors and the results of surgical repair with polypropylene mesh. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed the records of 371 consecutive kidney transplants performed between April 1995 and February 2000. Patients with clinical signs of hernia at the transplant incision site were included in the study. Predisposing factors for incisional hernia were also reviewed. A prospective protocol of surgical correction was established using polypropylene mesh and patient outcome was studied. RESULTS: We identified 14 patients (3.8%) with an incisional hernia at the transplant incision site. Hernias developed 3 to 840 days after transplant surgery and were significantly more common in white (p = 0.019) and cadaveric graft (p = 0.02) recipients. Predisposing factors in 11 cases included complications of transplant surgery in 7, bladder obstruction in 2, large polycystic kidneys in 1 and chronic pulmonary disease in 1. Surgical repair was performed by primary fascial approximation and polypropylene mesh reinforcement in 13 cases and by pre-peritoneal mesh placement in 1. Minor subcutaneous wound infection developed in 1 patient. No relapses were noted at a mean followup of 17.8 months. CONCLUSIONS: In the majority of cases incisional hernia develops in the first 3 months after transplant surgery. The incidence is significantly higher in white patients and after cadaveric donor transplantation. Surgical complications of transplant surgery are important predisposing factors for incisional hernia after kidney transplantation. Surgical repair using polypropylene mesh is safe and effective in this group of patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Incisional hernia repair with prosthetic material is followed by fewer recurrences than primary repair. Polypropylene is the most commonly used prosthetic material but may cause entero- cutaneous fistulas. The aim of this study was to determine whether enterocutaneous fistulas developed after incisional hernia repair with polypropylene mesh and to evaluate clinical outcome after incisional hernia repair. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the outcome of incisional hernia repair with polypropylene mesh between 1982 and 1998 was conducted. Follow-up data were obtained from medical records and questionnaires. RESULTS: Polypropylene incisional hernia repair was performed in 136 patients. Median follow-up was 34 months. No enterocutaneous fistulas developed. Wound infection occurred in 6 per cent. Wound sinus formation occurred in two patients. No mesh was removed because of infection and no persisting infection of the mesh occurred. CONCLUSION: Enterocutaneous fistula formation appears to be very rare after incisional hernia repair with polypropylene mesh, regardless of intraperitoneal placement, omental coverage or closing of the peritoneum. 相似文献

Background
Stomal site incisional hernia is a common complication following ileostomy closure. The effectiveness of prophylactic mesh placement at the time of stomal closure is unknown because of fear of mesh infection and subsequent wound complications. The present study investigated whether prophylactic mesh placement reduces the rate of incisional hernia after ileostomy closure without increasing wound complications. The study was based on retrospective review of consecutive ileostomy closures undertaken at a tertiary referral center between January 2007 and December 2011. Hernias were identified through clinical examination and computed tomography.Results
Eighty-three cases of ileostomy closure were reviewed; 47 patients received mesh reinforcement, and 36 underwent non-mesh closure (controls). In total, 16 (19.3 %) patients developed incisional hernia, 13 (36.1 %) of which occurred in the control group; 3 (6.4 %), in the mesh group [odds ratio (OR): 8.29; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 2.14–32.08; p = 0.001]. Incisional hernia repair was performed in 3 (23 %) patients in the control group; no hernias in the mesh group required surgery. There was no significant difference in wound infection rates between mesh (2 patients, 4.3 %) and control (1 patient, 2.8 %) groups. No mesh infection was found. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that malignancy (OR: 21.93, 95 % CI 1.58–303.95; p = 0.021) and diabetes (OR: 20.98, 95 % CI 3.23–136.31; p = 0.001) independently predicted incisional herniation, while mesh reinforcement prevented hernia development (OR: 0.06, 95 % CI 0.01–0.36; p = 0.002).Conclusions
Mesh placement significantly reduced the incidence of incisional hernia following ileostomy closure, but without increasing complication rates. This technique should be strongly considered in patients at high risk of hernia development. 相似文献6.
Incisional hernia—comparison of mesh repair with Cardiff repair: an university hospital experience 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Background: Incisional hernia is a frequent complication of abdominal surgery. Various types of repair are recommended for incisional
hernia. Suture and mesh repair are compared in the present study. Method: One hundred seventy one patients with incisional hernia underwent Cardiff repair (far and near sutures with reinforcement
sutures) which was used as an open suture repair while onlay polypropylene mesh was used in the mesh repair technique. Result: Cardiff repair was performed in 116 patients with no mortality with recurrence in two patients with mean follow up of 7.1 years.
Both these patients with recurrence had a defect measuring more than 10 cm in width. Mesh repair was carried out in 55 patients
with no recurrence in mean follow up of 37 months. Seroma formation was noted in 7 (12.72%) with mesh repair as compared to
4 (3.44%) patients with Cardiff repair. Conclusion: We recommend Cardiff repair for primary and small to medium size incisional hernias. Onlay polypropylene mesh is ideal for
tension-free hernia repair, recurrent incisional hernia and hernia defects wider than 10 cm. 相似文献

Background/aim Incisional hernia is one of the major elements of morbidity after abdominal surgery, with high incidence in vertical midline
abdominal incisions. However, the risk of developing an incisional hernia can be increased due to the patient’s related factors;
therefore, more consideration has to be given to the choice of incision, wound closure and wound healing to protect against
incisional hernia, especially in high-risk patients. In this study, we used prophylactic subfascial non-absorbable mesh reinforcement
of midline closure in high-risk patients to detect whether fixing the wound with mesh is risky on a short-term basis and whether
it is protective on a long-term basis.
Patients and methods From October 2000 to December 2002, 40 high-risk patients liable to develop postoperative incisional hernia underwent elective
abdominal operations through midline abdominal incisions at the Department of Surgery, Gastroenterology and Laparoscopic Unit,
Tanta University Hospital, Egypt. They were randomly divided into two groups; group A: patients for whom the midline abdominal
incisions were closed by conventional method and reinforced by subfascial polypropylene mesh (20 patients); and group B: patients
for whom the midline abdominal incisions were closed by conventional method only (20 patients) with a follow up period of
more than 20 months.
Results There was no significant difference (P = 0.075) in both groups regarding the age, sex and the average risk factor. Twenty-three patients (57.5%) presented with
more than one risk factor (11 in group A and 12 in group B). The upper midline abdominal incisions were reported in 33 patients
(19 upper and 14 extended upper). There was no significant difference between the overall local and systemic complications
in both groups (P = 0.4082). However, the subcutaneous seroma and chronic wound pain were greater in patients with prophylactic mesh than those
without mesh. One group A patients (5%) and three group B patients (15%) developed postoperative incisional hernia during
the follow up period.
Conclusion Prophylactic subfascial non-absorbable mesh reinforcement of midline closure in high-risk patients can be used safely and
effectively to provide extrinsic strength of the wound without relying too much on the defective development of its own intrinsic
strength and to prevent subsequent incisional hernia. There was no risk in the use of the mesh regarding local and systemic
complication. However, the final statement should await the outcomes of the long-term follow up of the studied cases. 相似文献

Background
The development of incisional hernia after open bariatric surgery is a major cause of morbidity and hospital readmission. The use of prosthetic material in clean-contaminated procedures remains controversial and correlated to high rate of local complications. A prospective observational clinical study on two different surgical techniques used to close the abdominal wall has been performed to better assess the safety (primary end point) and the efficacy (secondary end point) of polypropylene mesh placement to prevent incisional hernia in morbidly obese patients undergoing biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). 相似文献9.
Background Incisional hernia is a serious complication after abdominal surgery and occurs in 11–23% of laparotomies. Repair can be done,
for instance, with a direct suture technique, but recurrence rates are high. Recent literature advises the use of mesh repair.
In contrast to this development, we studied the use of a direct suture repair in a separate layer technique. The objective
of this retrospective observational study is to assess the outcomes (recurrences and complications) of a two-layered open
closure repair for primary and recurrent midline incisional hernia without the use of mesh.
Methods In an observational retrospective cohort study, we analysed the hospital and outpatient records of 77 consecutive patients
who underwent surgery for a primary or recurrent incisional hernia between 1st May 2002 and 8th November 2006. The repair
consisted of separate continuous suturing of the anterior and posterior fascia, including the rectus muscle, after extensive
intra-abdominal adhesiolysis.
Results Forty-one men (53.2%) and 36 women (46.8%) underwent surgery. Sixty-three operations (81.8%) were primary repairs and 14 (18.2%)
were repairs for a recurrent incisional hernia. Of the 66 patients, on physical examination, three had a recurrence (4.5%)
after an average follow-up of 2.6 years. The 30-day postoperative mortality was 1.1%. Wound infection was seen in five patients
(6.5%).
Conclusions A two-layered suture repair for primary and recurrent incisional hernia repair without mesh with extensive adhesiolysis was
associated with a recurrence rate comparable to mesh repair and had an acceptable complication rate.

Summary The use of fibrin glues for the closure of wounds in mesh repair of abdominal wall incisional hernias has been found to reduce
the morbidity rate. However, the substances of this type derived from blood have the potential risk of virus transmission.
The application of a nonbiologic adhesive would eliminate this risk, while offering the same advantages. We have performed
a prospective study with the aim of analyzing results of the application of enbucrylate (Histoacryl ?, B. Braun Melsungen
AG, Germany) between the muscle layers and subcutaneous tissue after incisional hernia repair with associated dermolipectomy,
assessing local morbidity, mean hospital stay and need of wound care. The study included 42 patients divided into two groups,
with and without enbucrylate, and results were compared between the groups. The two groups of patients were homogeneous with
respect to their clinical data. The incisional hernia was at the midline in all cases, and was repaired using retromuscular
prefascial polypropylene mesh in combination with dermolipectomy. Patients in the Histoacryl ? group developed less local
morbidity (seromas, hematomas or abscesses) (p < 0.05), had a shorter mean hospital stay (p < o.o1) and required less wound
care. We found that this approach improved the results of surgery for large eventrations when repaired by mesh placement and
dermolipectomy and decreased global cost because morbidity and hospital stay were reduced. 相似文献

Primary ventral hernias and ventral incisional hernias have been a challenge for surgeons throughout the ages. In the current era, incisional hernias have increased in prevalence due to the very high number of laparotomies performed in the 20 th century. Even though minimally invasive surgery and hernia repair have evolved rapidly, general surgeons have yet to develop the ideal, standardized method that adequately decreases common postoperative complications, such as wound failure, hernia recurrence and pain. The evolution of laparoscopy and ventral hernia repair will be reviewed, from the rectoscopy of the 4th century to the advent of laparoscopy, from suture repair to the evolution of mesh reinforcement. The nuances of minimally invasive ventral and incisional hernia repair will be summarized, from preoperative considerations to variations in intraoperative practice. New techniques have become increasingly popular, such as primary defect closure, retrorectus mesh placement, and concomitant component separation. The advent of robotics has made some of these repairs more feasible, but only time and well-designed clinical studies will tell if this will be a durable modality for ventral and incisional hernia repair. 相似文献

The use of prosthetic material to prevent incisional hernia in clean-contaminated procedures as bariatric surgery remains
controversial. We present our experience on 45 consecutive morbidly obese patients undergoing biliopancreatic diversion that
was closed using a polypropylene mesh. Moreover, we reviewed the outcome of the 50 previous consecutive obese patients who
underwent biliopancreatic diversion and conventional closure of the abdomen in order to compare the outcome between the two
groups after a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Between January 2006 and February 2010, 95 morbidly obese patients underwent
open biliopancreatic diversion at our department. During the first 2 years of our experience, there were 50 obese patients
whose open biliopancreatic diversion was closed conventionally (without mesh). Starting on February 2008 and until February
2010, 45 patients received prophylactic midline reinforcement by the positioning of retrorectal muscle polypropylene mesh.
The outcome at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months was analyzed comparing the two groups of patients. No mesh infection occurred. Minor
local complications occurred similarly in both groups. The incidence of postoperative hernia was significantly higher in the
group conventionally closed (30%) than in the mesh group (4.4%) at 2-year follow-up (p < 0.05). The prophylactic use of mesh in open bariatric surgery is safe and effective at 2-year follow-up. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the results of incisional hernia laparoscopic and open surgery, focusing on the morbidity and postoperative implications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A group of 106 (42 men, 64 women) patients suffering from incisional hernias were treated with either a laparoscopic (30) or an open (76) placement of a prosthetic mesh between January 1997 and December 2004. The age and gender of the patients, the size and type of the mesh, operation note, the length of postoperative hospital stay, and morbidity were recorded. RESULTS: An expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) mesh was used in 103 patients, whereas a polypropylene mesh was used in 3 patients. In the open technique, 3 patients with the ePTFE prosthetic material developed a mesh infection and required a mesh removal, which was easily performed under local anesthesia. Moreover, 2 patients from the same group developed a hernia recurrence. As for the laparoscopic approach, the only complication observed was one hernia recurrence. Finally, it should be mentioned that 1 patient with a polypropylene mesh developed a colocutaneous fistula. CONCLUSIONS: The benefits of the laparoscopic mesh technique, compared to the open technique, include a shorter hospital stay, less postoperative pain, and possibly, a reduction in wound and mesh complications. Regarding the recurrence rate, the two techniques show similar results. 相似文献

Purpose
Incisional hernia is a common long-term complication after laparotomy. This study investigated whether prophylactic mesh reinforcement of laparotomy reduced the rate of incisional hernia, with emphasis on trial design and quality.Methods
A systematic review of published literature was performed for studies comparing incisional hernia presence following conventional closure or prophylactic mesh reinforcement. Studies were assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool, the Jadad score and the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS). The primary endpoint was incisional hernia, assessed by meta-analysis.Results
Seven studies [four randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and three prospective trials] included 588 patients; 262 received mesh reinforcement. All studies included elective patients at high risk of incisional hernia. Six incorporated a polypropylene mesh and one a biologic mesh. Four studies were judged high quality by NOS and two of four RCTs were at low risk of bias, although overall outcome assessment from all studies was either poor or mediocre. Mesh significantly reduced the rate of incisional hernia [odds ratio (OR) 0.15, p < 0.001]; the same effect was seen in RCTs only (OR 0.17, p < 0.001). A borderline increase of seroma seen with a fixed effect model (OR 1.82, p = 0.050) was not seen with a random effect model (OR 1.86, p = 0.210, I 2 = 45 %).Conclusion
Mesh reinforcement of laparotomy significantly reduced the rate of incisional hernia in high-risk patients. However, poor assessment of secondary outcomes limits applicability; routine placement in all patients cannot yet be recommended. More evidence regarding the rates of adverse events, cost-benefits and quality of life are needed. 相似文献15.
Background Prosthetic incisional hernia repair (PIHR) is superior to primary closure in preventing hernia recurrence. Serious complications
have been associated with the use of prosthetic material. Complications of subsequent surgical interventions after prior PIHR
in relation to its anatomical position were the objectives of this study.
Patients and Methods Patients who underwent subsequent laparotomy/laparoscopy after PIHR between January 1992 and February 2005 at our institution
were evaluated. Intraperitoneal and preperitoneal mesh was related to complication rates after subsequent surgical interventions.
Results Sixty-six of 335 patients underwent re-laparotomy after PIHR. The perioperative course was complicated in 76% (30/39) of procedures
with intraperitoneal placed grafts compared to 29% (8/27) of interventions with preperitoneally positioned meshes (P < 0.001). Small bowel resections were necessary in 21% of the intraperitoneal group (8/39) versus 0% in the preperitoneal
group. Surgical site infection rates were higher in the intraperitoneal group (10/39, 26%, versus 1/27, 4%). Enterocutaneous
fistula formation was rare and occurred in two patients after subsequent laparotomy (5%).
Conclusions Re-laparotomy after PIHR with polypropylene meshes are associated with more preoperative and postoperative complications when
the mesh is placed intraperitoneally. Therefore 0intraperitoneal positioning of polypropylene mesh at incisional hernia repair
should be avoided if possible.

Background
Primary closure of post-operative facial dehiscence (FD) is associated with a high incidence of recurrence, revisional surgery, and incisional hernia. This retrospective study compares outcomes of implantation of non-absorbable intra-abdominal meshes with primary closure of FD. The outcomes of different mesh materials were assessed in subgroup analysis.Methods
A total of 119 consecutive patients with FD were operated (70 mesh group and 49 no mesh group) between 2001 and 2015. Primary outcome parameter was hernia-free survival. Secondary outcome parameters include re-operations of the abdominal wall, intestinal fistula, surgical site infections (SSI), and mortality. Kaplan-Meier analysis for hernia-free survival, adjusted Poisson regression analysis for re-operations and adjusted regression analysis for chronic SSI was performed.Results
Hernia-free survival was significantly higher in the mesh group compared to the no mesh group (P?=?0.005). Fewer re-operations were necessary in the mesh group compared to the no mesh group (adjusted incidence risk ratio 0.44, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.20–0.93, P?=?0.032). No difference in SSI, intestinal fistula, and mortality was observed between groups. Chronic SSI was observed in 7 (10%) patients in the mesh group (n?=?3 [6.7%] with polypropylene mesh and 4 [28.6%] with polyester mesh). The risk for chronic SSI was significantly higher if a polyester mesh was used when compared to a polypropylene mesh (adjusted odds ratio 8.69, 95% CI 1.30–58.05, P?=?0.026).Conclusion
Implantation of a polypropylene but not polyester-based mesh in patients with FD decreases incisional hernia with a low rate of mesh-related morbidity.17.
Randomized clinical trial comparing lightweight composite mesh with polyester or polypropylene mesh for incisional hernia repair 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

BACKGROUND: Polymer mesh has been used to repair incisional hernias with lower recurrence rates than suture repair. A new generation of mesh has been developed with reduced polypropylene mass and increased pore size. The aim of this study was to compare standard mesh with new lightweight mesh in patients undergoing incisional hernia repair. METHODS: Patients were randomized to receive lightweight composite mesh, or standard polyester or polypropylene mesh. Outcomes were evaluated at 21 days, 4, 12 and 24 months from patient responses to the Short Form 36 (SF-36) and daily activity questionnaires. Complications and recurrence rates were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 165 patients were included in an intention-to-treat analysis (83 lightweight mesh, 82 standard mesh). Postoperative complication rates were similar. The overall hernia recurrence rate was 17 per cent with the lightweight mesh versus 7 per cent with the standard mesh (P = 0.052). There were no differences in SF-36 physical function scores or daily activities between 21 days and 24 months after surgery. CONCLUSION: The use of the lightweight composite mesh for incisional hernia repair had similar outcomes to polypropylene or polyester mesh with the exception of a non-significant trend towards increased hernia recurrence. The latter may be related to technical factors with regard to the specific placement and fixation requirements of lightweight composite mesh. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Incisional hernia is a common problem following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity. PATIENTS AND MATERIALS: We report the preliminary results of nonrandomized prophylactic use of polypropylene mesh in a group of 60 consecutive patients. The patients with highest body mass index, and/or history of abdominal hernias and profound liver damage had abdominal wall reinforced with mesh during an operation. A year later the wound was assessed in all patients. RESULTS: In standard wound closure group (n=48) incisional hernia was found in 9 cases (20%). None of the patients with inserted mesh (n=12) developed hernia. The length of hospital stay in mesh group was similar to that in the nonmesh group and shorter than in patients with hernia occurrence. Mesh insertion was complicated with wound discharge in three patients. CONCLUSIONS: In our opinion prophylactic use of polypropylene mesh in bariatric patients is highly effective in postoperative hernia prevention. 相似文献

Mesh herniorrhaphy during elective colorectal surgery 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The management of large ventral hernias in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery is controversial considering the reluctance to use a mesh during a clean-contaminated case. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all patients having undergone at our institution any colorectal surgery along with ventral hernia repair with mesh as identified by the ICD-9 codes between 1997 and 2003. Three patients underwent incisional mesh herniorrhaphy along with elective colorectal surgery, including a right hemicolectomy, a colostomy closure, and a diverting colostomy. Hernia size varied between 330 and 1,243 cm2. All hernias were repaired using polypropylene mesh in an onlay fashion. Average operative time was 199 min. Two patients developed postoperative wound infection, one of them requiring incision and drainage of a part of the wound. One patient developed skin necrosis of the lower aspect of his incision requiring skin excision and open wound. All open wounds granulated well and healed by secondary intention despite presence of exposed mesh. Therefore prosthetic ventral hernia repair using polypropylene mesh can be performed concomitant to elective colorectal operations, thus avoiding another laparotomy. The incidence of wound complications is, however, high but does not usually require mesh excision. 相似文献

Antibiotic prophylaxis in clean surgery with implantation of prosthetic material is widely accepted, although there are no
studies on its use in abdominal incisional hernia repair. The objective was to evaluate antibiotic chemoprophylaxis in incisional
herniorrhaphy with the implantation of prosthetic material. A prospective non-randomized study (1990–1998) was conducted to
analyse 216 patients undergoing surgery for abdominal incisional hernia who required a prosthesis (polypropylene) in the reconstruction
and who met the criteria for clean surgery. Risk factors were observed in 31.5%, the most frequent being diabetes and obesity.
The incisional hernia was located mostly in the abdominal midline and in 64.4% measured over 10 cm. Antibiotic prophylaxis
was administered in 140 patients (64.8%) via the systemic route, the antibiotics being first- or second-generation cephalosporins
or amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. Surgical wound infection occurred in 39 patients (18.1%), 19 who had received antibiotic prophylaxis
(13.6%) and 20 who had not (26.3%). In multivariate analysis using logistic regression, the variables with statistical significance
for local septic infection were antibiotic prophylaxis and number of risk factors. We can conclude therefore that antibiotic
chemoprophylaxis is useful in abdominal incisional herniorrhaphy surgery with implantation of prosthetic material for reducing
local septic complications.
