Abstract:
Objective To explore the causes and treatments for complications of laparoscopic incisional hernia repair.Methods A total of 110 patients with incisional hernia(42 men and 68 women,aged 33 to 89 years with a mean of 65)were treated with laparoscopic mesh repair in our hospital from March 2004 to May 2007.The clinical records of the patients were analyzed retrospectively.Results The laparoscopic repair was completed in all of the patients expect in one,who was converted to open surgery because of intraperitoneal adhesion.After the operation,15(13.6%)patients developed abdominal distension,86(78.2%)had severe pain in the operative area(not less than 6 weeks in 2 cases),23(20.9%)had seroma,6(5.4%)had urinary retention,2(1.8%)had acute gastric dilation,2(1.8%)had intestinal fistula,2(1.8%)had respiratory dysfunction,and 2(1.8%)showed recurrence of the hernia.Conclusion Most of the complications of laparoscopic incisional hernia repair are caused by insufficient preoperative preparation,intraperitoneal adhesion,difficulty in exposure of the visual field,improper use of electrocoagulation,small-sized masses,or weak fixation.
