Quick repair of medium sized umbilical hernias with a self gripping preperitoneal mesh
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract: Mesh repair is indicated for medium sized umbilical hernias (larger than 2 – 4 cm). Preperitoneal placement of self gripping mesh would be expected to be difficult due to its self gripping property and the small working space. The author evaluated the time taken to place Covidien Parietex Pro Grip mesh in the preperitoneal plane during adult medium sized umbilical hernia repair. In results 13 primary umbilical hernias were repaired. Defects ranged between 3 cm and 4 cm. Median mesh diameter was 7 cm. Median time taken to place the mesh was 180 seconds. There have been no recurrences or surgical site complications. In conclusion with good outcomes, a short learning curve and easy placement, Parietex Pro Grip mesh is well suited to preperitoneal repair of adult medium sized primary umbilical hernias.
