All patients (100%) presented with DR associated with an abdominal wall defect; 17 patients (85%) with umbilical hernia, 2 patients (10%) with umbilical and incisional hernia, and 1 patient (5%) with umbilical with epigastric hernia. A total of 12 (60%) patients underwent laparoscopic DRR concomitant with VH repair, 5 (25%) patients underwent open DRR with VH repair and abdominoplasty, and 1 patient (5%) underwent DRR with VH repair and liposuction. All cases were successful without complications or conversions. Complications within 30 days included only seromas in 6 patients (30%), one requiring drainage.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our initial experience suggests that DR repair with concomitant VH repair and\/or abdominoplasty is feasible and safe in the UAE population.
