Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Abdominal incisional herniae are well known complications after abdominal surgery and many methods for repair of the hernial defect have been tried and developed. These include open repair with or without mesh and laparoscopic repair.
Case Report: We present an extremely unusual case where the hernia sac had dissected a plane between anterior sheath and the rectus muscles. Surgical development of this plane is associated with great risk of damage to nerves and vessels therefore not commonly used in hernia repairs. Conclusion: In this highly unusual case where traditional mesh placement was of little value, we chose a unique and as yet undescribed method of retro-anterior sheath mesh placement with good results at third month. | |
