ABDOMINAL WALL REPAIR WITH RETRORECTUS SELF-GRIPPING MESH

Salih Tosun, Muhammet Ali Aydemir
ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of retrorectus (R-R) repair using self-gripping mesh (SM) in elective incisional hernia surgery.

Material and Method: Over a 3-year period, 246 patients with midline incisional hernias underwent elective surgery, and 67 of these patients were treated with a retrorectus repair using an SM. The inferior rectus sheath was closed and a large self-gripping mesh was placed in the retrorectus space without fixation. Then, the superior rectus sheath was closed over the mesh.

Results: Reinforcement with a self-gripping mesh was found to be effective, allowing easy application and a shorter operation time since no fixation was required. Patients also reported low pain scores, and the abdominal wall was well reconstructed without any limitation in abdominal wall movement.

Conclusion: While midline closure with a retrorectus mesh is a well-established technique for incisional hernia repair, the use of an SM in this context is not yet well documented. Our findings suggest that using an SM leads to less postoperative pain, allows easier application, and shortens the duration of surgery.
