Prophylactic mesh placement in emergency midline laparotomy for intestinal perforation peritonitis: An appeal for caution

Abstract: Prophylactic mesh placement (PMP) is increasingly being used to reduce the incidence of incisional hernia after routine and emergency midline laparotomy (EML). However, such studies are not available for EMLs done solely for intestinal perforation. Patients who underwent non-absorbable PMP during EML for intestinal perforation (Group A, 15 patients) were compared with those who had a conventional abdominal wall closure (Group B, 20 patients). The incidence of wound dehiscence was significantly higher in Group … Show more

“…The disease is a complication of a number of surgical diseases or abdominal injuries (acute appendicitis, perforated gastric and duodenal ulcer, acute gangrenous cholecystitis, pancreatic necrosis, perforation of hollow organs, their damage during trauma, etc.) in the vast majority of cases [22,27,28]. Mortality in DPP is about 20-30%, reaching the highest figures in the development of multiple organ failure and septic shock, the prevention and relief of which are key in the treatment of peritonitis [33,34].…”
