Ventral hernia is a common complication of abdominal surgeries, with the incidence of up to 20% in some series. Giant ventral hernia is that with a neck more than 10 cm wide. The loss of abdominal domain due to the shift of viscera into the hernia sac could lead to the complication after surgery. A 54-year-old female presented with a giant pedunculated ventral hernia. She had low tension mesh repair through a transverse suprapubic incision. The surgical repair of giant hernia with mesh has led to reduced complications. The sublay mesh repair method has further reduced the rate of underlay mesh recurrence.
腹壁疝是腹部手术的常见并发症,在一些系列中发生率高达 20%。巨大腹壁疝是指疝颈部超过 10cm 宽的疝。由于内脏移位至疝囊,导致腹部区域丧失,这可能导致手术后发生并发症。一名 54 岁女性因巨大带蒂腹壁疝就诊。她通过横向耻骨上切口行低张力网片修补。使用网片修补巨大疝可减少并发症。网片的下置修补方法进一步降低了网片下复发率。
