Prophylactic mesh to prevent incisional hernia: A note of caution
American Journal of Surgery, 2009Ventral hernia is a common complication of open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The aim of this study was to determine whether prophylactic mesh placement during RYGB would reduce the incidence of postoperative hernias.Obese patients undergoing RYGB by a single surgeon had prosthetic mesh placed in a subfascial location at the conclusion of the ...

Evaluation of Absorbable Mesh for Prophylactic Mesh Augmentation in High-Risk Patients
Surgical Technology Online, 2021Purpose: Hernia prevention following abdominal surgery has become a subject of growing interest in general surgery. Prophylactic mesh augmentation (PMA) is an emerging technique to prevent incisional hernia in high-risk populations. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of PMA using an absorbable mesh.

Abdominal wall closure with prophylactic mesh in colorectal operations
ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2020AbstractBackgroundProspective studies demonstrate that over one‐third of patients undergoing standard suture closure of laparotomy wounds will develop incisional hernias (IHs). Whilst prophylactic mesh has been demonstrated to decrease IH rates in clean laparotomy wounds, mesh has been associated with high rates of seroma formation (>30%), infection

Role of Prophylactic Mesh Placement for Laparotomy and Stoma Creation
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2018Incisional and parastomal hernias are a cause of significant morbidity and have a substantial effect on quality of life and economic costs for patients and hospital systems. Although many aspects of abdominal hernias are understood, prevention is a feature that is still being realized.

Prophylactic meshes in the abdominal wall
Der Chirurg, 2016There is a high incidence of incisional hernias in specific high-risk patient populations. For these patients, the prophylactic placement of mesh during closure of the abdominal wall incision has been investigated in several prospective studies.This article aims to summarize and synthetize the currently available evidence on prophylactic meshes in a ...

The State of Prophylactic Mesh Augmentation
The American Surgeon™, 2018Prophylactic mesh augmentation (PMA) is the implantation of mesh during closure of an index laparotomy to decrease a patient's risk for developing incisional hernia (IH). The current body of evidence lacks refined guidelines for patient selection, mesh placement, and material choice. The purpose of this study is to summarize the literature and identify

Laparoscopic stoma formation with a prophylactic prosthetic mesh
Hernia, 2010One year after stoma formation with an open technique, the rate of parastomal hernia is almost 50%. The herniation rate can be reduced to 10% with the use of a prophylactic mesh in a sublay position. For stomas formed with a laparoscopic technique, a surgical method with the use of prophylactic mesh should be sought.Patients with a sigmoidostomy ...

Prophylactic mesh augmentation: Patient selection, techniques, and early outcomes
American Journal of Surgery, 2018Incisional hernias (IH) following abdominal surgery are frequent and morbid. Prophylactic mesh augmentation (PMA) has emerged as a technique to reduce IH formation. We aim to report patient selection, techniques and early outcomes after PMA.Retrospective chart review identified descriptive characteristics, risk factors, operative technique, and early ...

Experiences with a Prophylactic Mesh in 93 Consecutive Ostomies
World Journal of Surgery, 2010AbstractBackgroundParastomal hernia may be present in half of patients after one year. A prophylactic low‐weight prosthetic mesh in a sublay position at the index operation reduces the risk of parastomal hernia, without increasing the rate of complications.MaterialBetween April 2003 and November 2006 all patients with an ostomy created at an open ...

Prophylactic Mesh Placement With Ileal Conduit: A Cost-effectiveness Analysis
Urology, 2023To determine the cost-effectiveness of mesh placement in patients undergoing ileal conduit urinary diversion for bladder cancer. Long-term studies have shown that parastomal hernias (PSH) occur in more than half of all stomas. Mesh prophylaxis has been shown to reduce PSH after end-colostomy and ileal conduits. However, no cost-effectiveness studies on
