OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of a self-gripping polyester mesh used in on-lay technique to prevent incisional hernia after open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 495 patients who underwent aortic surgery between May 2017 and May 2021. Patients included in the study underwent open surgical repair for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with closure of the abdominal wall with either small bite suture technique or prophylactic mesh reinforcement. Primary endpoint of the study was the occurrence of incisional hernia during a two-year follow-up period. Secondary endpoints were mesh-related complications. RESULTS: Mesh implantation with the on-lay technique was successful in all cases. No patient in the mesh group developed an incisional hernia during the 24-month follow-up period. Two patients in the non-mesh group developed a symptomatic incisional hernia during the follow-up period at 6 months. Three cases of post-operative access site complications were observed in the mesh group. CONCLUSIONS: Application of a self-gripping polyester mesh using the on-lay technique demonstrates acceptable early-durability after open surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, it appears to be associated with a number of post-operative access site complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/ch-232008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,23]],"date-time":"2024-01-23T13:32:46Z","timestamp":1706016766000},"page":"315-322","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Wound healing and hernia after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: Onlay self-gripping polyester mesh reinforcement compared with small bite sutured closure"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Georgios","family":"Sachsamanis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, University Medical Center Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julio Perez","family":"Delgado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, University Medical Center Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyriakos","family":"Oikonomou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, University Medical Center Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic, University Hospital Frankfurt and Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wilma","family":"Schierling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, University Medical Center Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karin","family":"Pfister","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, University Medical Center Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carl","family":"Zuelke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Visceral Surgery, Rotthalm\u00fcnster Hospital, Rotthalm\u00fcnster, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Betz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, University Medical Center Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/CH-232008_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1608","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-005-7929-3","article-title":"Incisional hernia: early complication of abdominal surgery","volume":"29","author":"Burger","year":"2005","journal-title":"World J Surg"},{"key":"10.3233\/CH-232008_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e3","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jviscsurg.2012.05.004","article-title":"Incidence and prevention of ventral incisional hernia","volume":"149","author":"Le Huu Nho","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Visc Surg"},{"issue":"5","key":"10.3233\/CH-232008_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"474","DOI":"10.1007\/s00104-002-0425-5","article-title":"Factors influencing the development of incisional hernia.
