“…Laparotomy is performed by many types of surgeons [2], including liver and kidney transplant surgeons, urologists, gynecologists [2], vascular-, esophageal-, colorectal-, liver-, pancreatic-, cancer-, AW-, bariatric-, thoracic-and neurosurgeons. They may carry out several different types of laparotomy, which can be median laparotomy with xiphoidpubic incision, the Mercedes Benz-type incision [3], minimedian-type, sub-costal unilateral [4,5]/bilateral sub-costal laparotomy [6], the pararectus abdominis approach [7], the in the same patient, more than one incisional hernia may develop at the laparotomy sites [3], appearing as widelyspaced. Sometimes a spaced primary ventral hernia (VH), e.g.…”

Purpose: Test the technical feasibility of the "Slim-Mesh" technique using multiple "Slim-Meshes" during an operation for multiple widely-spaced ventral hernias in the same patient; verify the results of a 12-year followup.Methods: From September 2009 to December 2019, 8 patients with the above hernias were treated exclusively with the "Slim-Mesh" technique at our Department. This was a prospective (63%)-retrospective study.Results: This study comprised 6 males and 2 females. Mean age was 57 years. Three of the 8 cases had a triple spaced ventral hernia (Group 1): 2 of the 3 were treated with 2 "Slim-Meshes" each, and the remaining patient with 3. The remaining 5 cases had one double spaced ventral hernia each (Group 2); each case was operated on with 2 "Slim-Meshes". During operation, the author also found and repaired associated diastasis recti in 38% of cases, doing so without using additional "Slim-Meshes". Mean operation time for all 8 cases, Group 1 and Group 2 was 153, 220 and 112 minutes respectively. Composite mesh, non-composite mesh, titanium tacks and absorbable straps for mesh fixations were used in 87.5%, 12.5%, 25% and 75% of cases respectively. Mean length of hospital stay was 3 days. Mean follow-up time was 6 years. No early or long-term postoperative complications occurred. Conclusion:This study revealed the existence of a new patient-type, namely one with multiple widely-spaced ventral hernias (7%). My technique facilitates intra-abdominal introduction and fixation of successive multiple meshes during the same operation, proving to be safe, fast and economical.
