WSES guidelines for emergency repair of complicated abdominal wall hernias

Abstract: Emergency repair of complicated abdominal hernias is associated with poor prognosis and a high rate of post-operative complications.A World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) Consensus Conference was held in Bergamo in July 2013, during the 2nd Congress of the World Society of Emergency Surgery with the goal of defining recommendations for emergency repair of abdominal wall hernias in adults. This document represents the executive summary of the consensus conference approved by a WSES expert panel.

“…The choice of technique for repair is based on the contamination of the surgical field, the size of the hernia, and the experience of the surgeon [56]. Prosthetic repair with synthetic mesh is recommended for patients with intestinal incarceration and no signs of intestinal strangulation or concurrent bowel resection (clean surgical field) [56].…”

“…1 Indeed, some authors recommend synthetic mesh repair if the intestinal resection is carried out with sufficient care to minimise infectious complications. 3 Biosynthetic meshs can be an alternative in cases with a high risk of infection. 1 In our patient, we performed a lumbar approach as there was no sign of necrosis or peritonitis.…”

“…There was also localised tenderness. Laboratory tests did not reveal any abnormality, aside from a white blood cell count that was mildly increased, at 12,000 cells/mm 3 . Computed tomography (CT) was suggestive of strangulated right lumbar hernia containing a bowel loop without signs of complication ( Figure 1).…”

“…A pesar de la disminución de la recurrencia herniaria en la corrección de las HVCC con la prótesis sintética, es conocido el aumento del riesgo de infección cuando se utilizan estos materiales en ambientes contaminados o infectados 1,2 . Ambas complicaciones (recurrencia e infección) han motivado que los cirujanos, junto a equipos multidisciplinarios, sigan investigando sobre aspectos técnicos, concretamente qué tipo de prótesis utilizar en estos casos y en qué plano de la pared abdominal se debería colocar.…”
