“…A total of 275,878 women with a previous cesarean section were included, resulting in 286,585 cesarean sections in total. Of the 286,585 cesarean sections 217,155 (76 %) originated from one of the included studies [17]. One study reported all midline incisions [19] and two reported above 50 % midline incisions [20,21].…”

“…The Danish study stated that a transverse incision was the primary approach when performing a cesarean section, but the actual incision type was only reported for the women with incisional hernia repair [18]. In the remaining and largest study, the type of incision was not reported as numbers, but the authors stated that cesarean sections routinely were performed through a transverse incision [17]. Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that the incision type was unverified or unknown for 76 % (n = 217,171) [17,18] of the cesarean sections included in this systematic review.…”

A pregnant woman with a surgical site infection after mesh repair of an abdominal wall incisional hernia: a case report

BackgroundSurgical meshes are widely used in incisional hernia repair. However, there are no reports of pregnancies complicated by infection of surgical meshes used for hernia repair. This is the first case report of a pregnant woman who experienced surgical site infection associated with surgical mesh used for repair of an abdominal wall incisional hernia.Case presentationWe report a case of a 41-year-old pregnant Japanese woman with surgical site infection after mesh repair of an abdominal wall incisional hernia. She was diagnosed with an abdominal wall incisional hernia at 3 months after her third cesarean section, and she underwent an operation of hernia repair with use of monofilament polypropylene mesh 7 months after the third cesarean section. However, a surgical site infection associated with surgical mesh occurred. During antibiotic treatment, she was found to be pregnant. She was referred to our hospital at 13 weeks and 2 days of gestation. The surgeons removed the infected mesh at 16 weeks and 3 days of gestation. Neither the hernia nor infection at the surgical site recurred throughout pregnancy. We planned a cesarean section using a transverse uterine fundal incision method with an upper abdominal incision. The patient delivered a 2478-g healthy female infant.ConclusionsThe present report shows that removal of mesh can safely control surgical site infection during pregnancy.

Midline incisions are the first choice for acute and elective abdominal surgery because of a good view into and rapid access to the abdominal cavity. For large upper abdominal operations transverse incisions can be considered of equal value due to excellent exploration possibilities, e.g. of the liver and pancreas. 25 years after the introduction of laparoscopy, this technique has become established for cholecystectomy, fundoplication and bariatric surgery. For appendix and colon surgery laparoscopy has the advantage of being less traumatic, whereby postoperative pain and hospitalization are reduced but under circumstances longer operating times must be expected. The single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) technique is beneficial in cosmetic outcome; however, incisional hernias, prolonged operating times and higher complication rates are limiting factors for this technique. Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) and atypical incisions are rarely used.
