“…With the term "ventral hernia" we tend to describe the epigastric hernias, umbilical/paraumbilical hernias, as well as the anterior abdominal wall incisional hernias [12]. Epigastric hernia any primary hernia located in the epigastric region of the anterior abdominal wall, topographically located anywhere on the axis of linea alba between the xiphoid process and 1-2 cm superiorly to the umbilical ring.…”

Hernias comprise a growing problem in surgical science. The most recent classification scheme for hernias emphasizes on the size of defect as well as on whether it is an incisional hernia. The latter group includes complex hernias, namely hernias that can not be managed with simple surgical techniques. This can be accomplished with retromuscular repairs or the more complex anterior and posterior component separation techniques. An anatomic repair is usually reinforced with interposition of mesh. Newest techniques, such as the use of botulinum toxin to induce temporary paralysis of the lateral abdominal wall musculature, referred to as chemical component separation, now present new tools in the restoration of anatomy-based repairs. The chapter entitled “Anatomical and surgical principles of ventral hernia repairs” aims to describe the anatomical and surgical principles of current practice regarding the repair of ventral -primary and incisional-hernias.

“…Clavien-Dindo classification was suggested to assess postoperative complications, it evaluating the severity of complications according to the treatment required [23]. The study by Kokotovic et al [24] has revealed the correlation between the complication severity (Clavien-Dindo) and the 30 days readmission rate.…”

The review covers the important aspects of complications in incisional hernia repair. The paper specifies the most relevant issues of modern herniology, its social and economical aspects, considers the preventive techniques for preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative complications. When describing the preoperative predictive and preventive methods in complications, the authors analyzed the existent classifications and integral grading scales for patients' state indicators, showed the benefits and drawbacks of current techniques of preoperative preparation.The part devoted to an intraoperative period presents the main current hernia repair techniques, mesh implants, and their characteristics. Much attention is given to the description of surgical options depending on mesh arrangement in relation to anatomical abdominal wall layers, and the assessment of mesh implant types, their selection for a specific clinical setting. The review considers the principles of component separation as one of the most promising directions of abdominal surgery. When studying the postoperative preventive methods, the emphasis was made on the description of fast-track principles. Currently, a fast-track technique is being widely used in surgery, and gaining popularity in herniology.

Correlation between early surgical complications and readmission rate after ventral hernia repair

Abstract: Reports on 30-day readmission can be used as a general outcome measure in ventral hernia repair, however CDC provides a more precise and detailed registration of postoperative complications.
