This study was designed to investigate whether intraperitoneal implantation of a composite prosthetic mesh is feasible and safe.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 114 patients with postoperative fascial dehiscence and open abdomen who had undergone surgery between 2001 and 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. Contaminated (wound class 3) or dirty wounds (wound class 4) were present in all patients. A polypropylene\u2010based composite mesh was implanted intraperitoneally in 51 patients, and in 63 patients the abdominal wall was closed without mesh implantation. The primary endpoint was incidence of incisional hernia, and the incidence of enterocutaneous fistula was a secondary endpoint.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The incidence of enterocutaneous fistulas after wound closure post\u2010fascial dehiscence (13% vs. 6% without and with mesh, respectively) or post\u2010open abdomen (22% vs. 28% without and with mesh, respectively) was not significantly different. The incidence of incisional hernia was significantly lower with mesh implantation compared with no\u2010mesh implantation in both contaminated (4% vs. 28%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.025) and dirty abdominal cavities (5% vs. 34%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.01).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Intra\u2010abdominal contamination is not a contraindication for intra\u2010abdominal mesh implantation. The incidence of enterocutaneous fistula is not elevated despite the presence of contamination. The rate of incisional hernias is significantly reduced after intraperitoneal mesh implantation for postoperative fascial dehiscence or open abdomen.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-012-1534-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,8]],"date-time":"2012-03-08T18:28:49Z","timestamp":1331231329000},"page":"1557-1561","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Intraperitoneal
